Local rankings, with the English-speaking agents who cover each canton.
We count the properties each agency lists in every canton (acheteur.ch and Lookmove data, October 2026). An agency active in more cantons ranks higher.
Within each canton, a bigger share of local listings means more buyers see the agency's homes.
We show the public Google rating of each agency's busiest branch, so you can compare service quality.
For English speakers, we highlight agencies with English-speaking agents and a transparent fee. Neho is our partner and appears as a sponsored recommendation.
For most sellers, we recommend Neho: 37 English-speaking agents, a flat fee of CHF 16,500 and a free valuation. For luxury homes, international networks like Engel & Völkers, Sotheby's International Realty or BARNES reach buyers abroad.
Most agencies charge a commission of 2 to 4% of the sale price. On a CHF 1.5 million home, that is CHF 30,000 to 60,000. Neho charges a flat fee of CHF 16,500.
Properti, BETTERHOMES and RE/MAX list properties in the largest number of cantons.
Yes. Choose an agent who speaks English, ask for the mandate to be explained in English, and you can sign at the notary through a power of attorney if you live abroad.
