IT3 Treuhand + Immobilien

What IT3 Treuhand + Immobilien does

IT3 Treuhand + Immobilien (legal entity: IT3 Immobilien + Treuhand AG, parent ITectum Holding AG) is an owner-managed Swiss real estate services and fiduciary firm headquartered in Schaffhausen, founded in 2002 by three former footballers - Urs Niklaus Eckert, Roger Näf, and Roy Pagno - and self-positioned as the largest owner-managed real estate company in Eastern Switzerland (Ostschweiz). The firm operates three regional offices in Schaffhausen (2002), St. Gallen (2009), and Zürich (2012) and serves property sellers, landlords, tenants, investors, and SME/individual fiduciary clients across Eastern Switzerland.

The company delivers an integrated offering across five service lines: Immobilienverkauf (commission-based property sales), Vermietung (initial rental and re-letting), Bewirtschaftung (rental and strata property management, supported by an online tenant service portal - Mieterservice), Beratung (investment, portfolio, and development advisory), and Treuhand (bookkeeping, tax, VAT, payroll, inheritance/gift tax, and corporate restructuring). Distribution is anchored in physical offices and personal networks, supplemented by a free online property valuation tool (Gratis Online-Schätzung) used as a top-of-funnel lead magnet, content marketing via blog/newsletter, and SVIT Schweiz/SMK industry association membership.

Revenue mechanics combine transactional fees (sales commissions, tenant placement), recurring management fees (Bewirtschaftung Mietliegenschaften and Stockwerkeigentum), and professional-services fees (Treuhand and Beratung). Pricing is quote-based per mandate with no publicly disclosed fee schedules. The customer base is dominated by long-tail individual property owners (residential single-family, multi-family, apartments, and strata owners) with a smaller set of commercial/institutional relationships (e.g., HIG Asset Management, RHP Architekten, MTF, City-Haus). Technology is standard commercial real estate/CRM plus the digital tenant portal; no proprietary AI/ML capability is disclosed.
