Client reviews

🎄 Flat Search Over the Christmas Season
Marco Vanoli, A. Menarini GmbH
I moved from Italy to Switzerland during the Christmas holidays and urgently needed an apartment on short notice. After several unsuccessful attempts, I was referred to RelEx. Within just a few days, they found exactly the apartment I was looking for — in the right location and within my budget. What impressed me most was their outstanding availability, even during the holidays, their efficiency in handling viewings and paperwork, and their personal commitment to every detail. Thanks to RelEx, I felt professionally supported and warmly welcomed. A truly reliable partner for anyone settling in Switzerland — thank you!"

Young professional couple from Spain
At first we were not sure whether to get the relocation service but at the end it was absolutely worth it. Sandra is very kind, easy to reach and always available for us. She makes sure to know your needs and works around them. We are happy we decide to work with her because we got the apartment that we wanted in record time. It wouldn’t have been possible without her help.

After a long search and several rejections, I handed over my apartment hunt to RelEx. Shortly thereafter, I was able to sign my rental contract. My cat and I have happily settled into our new home. I’m truly grateful for the excellent service and hope RelEx will continue to make many more clients happy.

🏠 Apartment Search in the Canton of Lucerne
Ms. W.
Working with RelEx was a huge relief from start to finish. Finding an apartment in Switzerland can be very challenging, especially under the current market conditions. But the RelEx team impressed us with their professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and truly personal support. From the very first conversation, it was clear that they work with both heart and expertise. Our needs were carefully understood, and within a short time, we received suitable housing offers. The support with communication, application processes, and all the bureaucracy was incredibly helpful – things that would have cost us a lot of time and energy without RelEx. I highly recommend RelEx to anyone looking for a new home in Switzerland.
🏡 Feedback Relocation & Expat Services GmbH – Sandra Burki
By Gonzalo Adis Freer and Florien Marcussen
We highly recommend Sandra Burki at RelEx! She guided us in the search for a 3.5-room apartment in Zurich while we were still abroad. From the start, Sandra took the time to understand our preferences, curated listings that matched our needs, and refined the selection as she got to know us better. Her daily updates with new options made the process not only smooth but also genuinely fun—we looked forward to her messages every day. Since we couldn’t attend viewings, Sandra visited on our behalf, sharing detailed videos and honest feedback. Her sharp eye, transparent communication, and genuine advice gave us full trust in her guidance. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we found our dream apartment in Zurich. We are deeply grateful and recommend her to anyone searching for a home, especially from abroad.

🏡 Family relocation to Hünenberg
Atte Virtanen, Finnland
We had the pleasure of working with Sandra and the RelEx team during our family’s relocation to Switzerland. Sandra’s professionalism, efficiency, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was always available, proactive, and well-organized, guiding us clearly through every step. Her local expertise and attention to detail were invaluable — from finding suitable homes to managing all paperwork and communication with landlords and authorities. We would also like to thank Jutta for her warm support in Hünenberg and for ensuring a seamless handover of our new home. Working with RelEx was a reassuring and truly positive experience. We can highly recommend Sandra and her team to anyone relocating to Switzerland.
