What our clients say
Since 1999 we have successfully
relocated more than 1’700 clients from 139 different companies (as per 06/2013).
"Moving is never easy. Moving to a new country
with language and cultural differences would have been impossible for us
without the assistance of Relocate Easy. Franziska
and Marion are truly exceptional individuals with the expertise that made our
transition smoother than we could have imagined. The time spent with us
was never rushed even though we landed in Zurich days before Christmas. Franziska would meet us at our local Gemeinde
to assist us with our residency permits, she coordinated with our landlord and
the Simmengroup so that our home would be furnished
when we arrived, she even went above and beyond the
scope of duties to assist with the proctoring of an exam for our daughter.
I can honestly say that we consider both Franziska
and Marion to be our first friends in this new land. We would have been
lost without them!"

“Our
Canadian family with young children needed to move from Texas, USA to
Switzerland within 6 months and quickly this year. My biggest anxieties
were around making sure our kids landed in a good English speaking school and I
had no idea how to go about this while my husband was away working in Europe
and I was alone in Texas managing the kids and planning our move. A
friend of ours we knew years ago recommend Marion and Relocate Easy to
us. After our initial emails back and forth I breathed a HUGE sigh of
relief…someone with vast knowledge to guide me every step of the way during
this exciting yet overwhelming life change. Marion helped me register the
kids at the schools, arranged meetings with the admissions people when we came
over to visit and she explained “how things work in Switzerland” which was
invaluable to me. The children finding a school was our #1 priority but of course
we needed a home to live in, a translator to help us with the rental
agreements, guidance with the Swiss Visa process, a tour guide to show us
around Zurich and the list goes on and on and Relocate Easy did all of these
and more for us. As a busy mom I loved that I could communicate with Marion via
email so any question I thought of I would email her and very quickly I would
hear back with an answer. So very personal and
professional service. I am so happy we found Marion or else I know some
decisions would have been made that I would have regretted so I highly
recommend them…and I’m grateful.”

“I
have moved twice with Relocate Easy and in both occasions things worked out
fantastic. Just found the right place very quickly. Moreover I was impressed
with the readiness and always supportive response of the team. Anything,
anytime, I always got the solution to the problem very quickly plus a smile.
Their help has been instrumental to our family move to Switzerland!”

“Having
never even visited Switzerland before my relocation it was a real pleasure to
be looked after so well by Franziska and the team. I expected
little and got a lot! It was a real pleasure to be supported by such friendly
and fun people – it made my potentially stressful and scary experience very
relaxed and enjoyable.”

“In
October this year, we wanted to relocate as soon as possible to Zug, and we
were really lucky to have Mrs. Marion Schwendinger's
assistance and full support for the matter. She understood our requirements
perfectly well and was capable of working for us closely to find the perfect
apartment in a timely manner. She only took a few days to book viewings and
show us lovely places to choose from. Once we chose the apartment, all
paperwork was completed without any efforts, and Marion also organized
everything relating to hooking up phone, electric, cable, spare furniture and
everything we could think of and needed. The warm friendship with

"I
would unhesitating recommend the services of Relocate Easy. While I had
some experience of living and working in Continental Europe, there were many
nuances to the Swiss immigration, working and housing, rules which they
don't tell you about in books, and which make the services of a relocation
agent on the ground absolutely essential. That I found an appartment quickly and was processed efficiently through
the city administration was all due to Relocate Easy's
local knowledge and contacts. Such was the personal attention and the
attention to detail, it was sometimes hard to believe that I wasn't Franziska Alpiger's only client
at the time, and it was down to her that everything went so
smoothly."

“Relocation overseas is always difficult particularly
when language or custom are different. Relocate Easy provided us with
first-class service with their expertise in many areas and efforts to come up
with our needs. We fitted in just within a month. Without their assistance, it
would have taken so many months to get everything organized. Moreover, they
provided us with continued support even after they were done.”

"When
my company moved me to Zürich, they arranged for me to meet with several relocation
agencies and to choose the one that I wanted to work with. It was clear in my
interview with Marion Schwendinger that Relocate Easy
was a clear choice. Having now completed my move, I am highly confident that it
would have been impossible to find a better partner.
Moving
internationally for the first time with three small children (ages 5, 3, 2)
into a housing and regulatory environment like Zürich's is complex. It can be a
little scary, too. But before we even started working together officially, Mrs.
Schwendinger was making my transition easier. She
listened to my needs, made quick changes when my needs changed and provided
great information. She also explained everything very well so that I felt
comfortable and in control during the entire process. After finding the perfect
apartment, Marion immediately put the wheels in motion to insure that we would
be the ones living there (to whit, we have since met a family here who had to
settle for another place because ours was so quickly spoken for).
Marion
and the team do all of this with a responsive, optimistic and delightfully
cheery attitude. They know the local market and "the expat" inside
and out. They are perfect professionals and a delight to work with. I highly
recommend their services and am genuinely disappointed that they are not a
global firm (i.e. for my next move).”

Then,

things in order. (Note

And
finally, I can still call Christine when I have a question, or need help just
translating a letter or with what a service worker is saying.

Relocate Easy has really helped make this move much easier - just like the name
of the company. We would definitely
recommend them to any other newcomers, and have given this great input back to Glencore who use them often. "

Christine
Lauber was the representative assigned to work with
us and she made everything literally easy for us. She provided a good inventory
of living accommodations for us to look at.
Relocate
Easy provided a wide range of services including arranging for Temporary living
accommodations, assistance with governmental procedures, overview of the area,
list of English speaking doctors, dentists and veterinarians, language schools
and orientation upon arrival.
But
it was the personal touches that made a real difference for us. Christine made
sure that when we arrived, our temporary accommodations were ready including
provisions for our pet cat. She took the extra time to ensure that my wife was
comfortable in her new surroundings by taking her to various shops and
businesses to help us get going with every day life. Not an easy task when you
are in a new country with a new language to learn.
