The best real estate agents.

Typical commission in Zurich: 2–3% of the sale price (plus VAT), success-based. Valuation, marketing, viewings and negotiation should be included — compare what’s covered.

A solid market valuation costs CHF 800–1,500 and is often credited against a later mandate. Online estimates are free but imprecise for non-standard properties.

Possible but demanding: pricing, listings, 20+ viewings and negotiations quickly cost 60–100 hours. A good agent often recoups the fee through a better price.
