Immobilier.ch

What Immobilier.ch does

Immobilier.ch, operating through its legal entity immobilier.ch SA, is a regional real estate portal serving French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse romande). The platform aggregates more than 40,000 residential and commercial property listings across all six Romandie cantons — Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, and Jura — and functions as the primary intermediary between property seekers and the regional professional real estate agency ecosystem. Beyond listings, the portal offers an integrated suite of supplementary services: Estimer (free property valuation, powered by third-party data provider FPRE - Fahrländer Partner AG), e-Locataire (a digital rental application and dossier-management service with integrations to rental guarantee providers Firstcaution and Smartcaution), an agency directory organized by canton, and an Actualité news section covering Swiss real-estate market trends and regulatory updates. The platform is accessible via a tri-lingual web interface (FR/DE/EN) and dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications.

The underlying technology is a web and mobile listing aggregation platform with map-based search, email alerts for new listings, and user account features including saved properties, search history, and pre-estimations. Property valuation is outsourced to FPRE rather than built in-house, and the e-Locataire workflow is a vertical-specific SaaS layer that streamlines rental applications between prospective tenants and partner agencies. Industry-association links to USPI Suisse, SVIT Suisse, and FRI (Fédération Romande Immobilière) signal positioning within the professional Romandie real estate community.

The business model is dual-sided and recurring: real estate agencies pay annual subscriptions to publish listings on the portal, and the company generates additional revenue through targeted banner advertising segmented by canton, district, property type, and price range. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a contact basis. The company is privately held, headquartered in Geneva at Rue de Lausanne 42-44, and operates with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures in the public domain.

Regional players

• SeLoger: Leading French real estate portal with similar portal/marketplace business model to Immobilier.ch. Comparable as a regional real estate listing platform with agency partnerships and subscription/ads revenue, though operating in France rather than Switzerland.
• Idealista: Leading Southern European (Spain, Portugal, Italy) real estate portal with a similar listing aggregation and agency subscription business model. Comparable as a regional portal operator, though serving Mediterranean rather than Swiss markets.
