Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Switzerland
In Switzerland most people find an agent (Makler / courtier) through online portals and comparison sites, local agency recommendations, or word of mouth, then meet one or more agents to value the property. Note that real estate brokerage is largely unregulated at the federal level, so there is no single national licence register and membership of the SVIT industry association is a common professionalism signal.
Where to find and compare agents in Switzerland
- Free, the widest pool to compare
Anyone.com
Swiss real estate brokerage sits in a gray zone: no federal licensing, SVIT membership marks professionalism, commissions are negotiable, so savvy owners compare multiple agents by results and fee. Yet agent-first platforms force you to post through brokers and their fee structures. Anyone.com flips this: search and pitch directly to agents across the 26 cantons (and beyond) with no listing cost, compare their track records and rates in writing before hiring, and still reach international and relocating buyers who matter in Switzerland's top markets. The Swiss portals remain the go-to for domestic reach, so listing on both gives you full coverage; the legal scaffold of notary authentication and land registration works the same regardless.

How to choose a good one
Interview two or three agents, ask to see properties they have recently sold in your area, and check references and any SVIT membership or relevant qualifications. Remember the commission is negotiable, so compare the fee, the marketing plan, and the proposed asking price in writing before signing.
