Meet Molly, the heart and soul behind Swiss Home Finder! Having personally faced the countless challenges of relocating to Switzerland, she founded our venture out of a desire to make this journey smoother for others. There is so much that’s unknown and complex about moving here, from understanding local customs to navigating the cut-throat housing market. That’s why we offer more than just a professional service; we aim for a genuine connection. With Swiss Home Finder, you will have a trusted friend guiding you through every step, from searching and viewing properties to managing applications and arranging your move. Our commitment is deeply personal, ensuring that you not only find the perfect home without the stress, but also feel truly at home in Switzerland.
Finding housing in Switzerland is challenging
For newcomers, the Swiss housing market presents real challenges. Understanding the landscape before you begin saves time and frustration.
Unfamiliar Market
Swiss rental customs, contracts, and expectations differ significantly from other countries.
Competitive Timing
Desirable properties receive dozens of applications within hours of being listed.
Complex Applications
Documentation requirements are extensive: references, salary slips, extracts from registries.
Language Barrier
Many landlords and agencies operate primarily in German, French, or Italian.
A clear, structured process designed to save you time and give you confidence at every step of your housing search.
