What Assofid does

Assofide SA is a privately held Swiss real estate and fiduciary services firm headquartered in Locarno, Ticino, operating under a Società Anonyme (SA) legal structure with 44 employees. The company provides an integrated portfolio of four core services: property management (Amministrazione Immobili), condominium administration (Amministrazione Condomini), real estate brokerage (Vendita / Intermediazione Immobiliare), and business and tax consultancy (Consulenza Aziendale e Fiscale) for individuals, condominium boards, and small businesses/artisans. Its distribution footprint is concentrated in the Locarno and Ascona region of Ticino, served primarily through a direct-sales office at Via Luini 3 and a multilingual digital platform (Italian, German, French, English) with an active inventory of 303 listings.

The underlying technology stack is built on the third-party Casasoft AG property management and listing platform (casasoft.ch), which powers Assofide's website, property search-profile tool, and client inquiries; the site is augmented with standard Google services (Analytics, Maps, Recaptcha, Web Fonts, Ratings) and GDPR cookie compliance tooling. No proprietary technology, AI features, or APIs are disclosed. Service delivery is sales-led, with personalized consultation, property viewings, and complete transaction support at the Locarno office.

Assofide generates revenue through a mix of recurring property and condominium administration fees (subscription-style mandates covering tenant relations, maintenance coordination, bookkeeping, and assembly preparation), transaction-based real estate brokerage commissions on sales and rentals (with rental listings starting at CHF 135/month and purchase prices spanning under CHF 500,000 to over CHF 10 million), and professional-services fees from accounting, payroll, and tax preparation for small businesses. Pricing for management fees and commissions is not publicly disclosed. The company is member-owned/operator-controlled following Giancarlo Cotti's 1993 acquisition and restructuring of the firm originally founded as Oreste Borghi's agency in 1924, with no external shareholders, parent company, or institutional capital indicated in the data.
