Von Graffenried AG Liegenschaften

What Von Graffenried AG Liegenschaften does

Von Graffenried AG Liegenschaften is a privately held Swiss property management company headquartered at Marktgass-Passage 3 in Bern, registered in the Swiss commercial register since December 1968 (CHE-101.276.976). It is part of the family-owned Von Graffenried Gruppe, which operates four divisions (Privatbank, Liegenschaften, Treuhand, Recht) and employs approximately 300 people group-wide; the Liegenschaften division itself has roughly 128 employees with an average age of 36 and a 69%/31% female-to-male split. The company provides Bewirtschaftung (property management) for residential buildings, commercial buildings and condominium/stockwerkeigentum (STOWE) portfolios across Bern and the surrounding area, supported by valuation/consulting services and online tenant and owner self-service tools.

The operating model is direct, relationship-driven and geographically concentrated. Distribution runs through field sales and personal account management by certified federal property trustees (eidg. dipl. Immobilientreuhänder), supplemented by a blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletter and an annual Herbstapéro customer event at the Bellevue Palace Bern. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring management fees on individually quoted mandates, billed monthly, with no publicly disclosed list pricing. The technology backbone is the third-party Garaio REM platform (introduced 2020) for accounting, tenant management and owner portal functions, plus a proprietary online-services portal for tenant inquiries, forms and lease terminations integrated with Flatfox.ch; verbrauchsabhängige Heiz- und Nebenkostenabrechnung is supported via external meter-reading partners including NeoVac, Rapp AG, Diener + Tobler and König Haustechnik.

The company has executed a deliberate service-line broadening rather than geographic expansion: it integrated Szakaly Marti Verwaltungen AG in April 2020, added a Head of Projektentwicklung (Jon Peer) in January 2021, and in January 2024 formed Von Graffenried Bissig Architekten AG (GRB Architekten) to bundle architecture into the offering. In August 2025 it joined the Swiss Triple Impact program under B Lab Schweiz with quantified 2030 sustainability targets. Selected enterprise mandates include ECOREAL Schweizerische Immobilien Anlagestiftung and Edmond de Rothschild REIM (Suisse) SA.

Broad incumbents

• Wincasa AG: Largest Swiss property management company, managing residential, commercial and mixed-use portfolios nationwide for institutional owners. Directly comparable to Von Graffenried's core Bewirtschaftung mandate work, but operating at national scale with a broader institutional client base.
• Helvetia Versicherungen (Real Estate division): Large Swiss insurance group with an in-house real estate division managing commercial and residential property portfolios. Overlaps with Von Graffenried's management and valuation work, but as part of a broader financial services portfolio rather than as a specialist.

Direct peers

• Procimmo SA: Swiss real estate manager specializing in commercial and residential property management for institutional clients, including pension funds. Comparable in commercial asset management and institutional client focus to Von Graffenried's Geschäftshäuser and Wohnhäuser practices.
• Privera AG: Swiss property management firm specializing in residential and commercial Bewirtschaftung plus valuation services. Closely comparable business model and target segments (institutional owners, pension funds, private landlords) to Von Graffenried's Liegenschaften division.
• Bernard Nicod SA: Swiss real estate group with property management, brokerage, and development services, primarily active in western Switzerland. Comparable Bewirtschaftung and Bewertung capabilities, with regional player dynamics similar to Von Graffenried's Bern-focused positioning.
• Apleona Switzerland (formerly Nagel & Partner): Swiss property management and real estate services firm handling residential, commercial and mixed-use assets. Comparable in core property management and valuation offerings, competing for similar institutional mandates in the Swiss market.

Overlapping service portfolio with Von Graffenried's Bewirtschaftung and Bewertung/Beratung offerings for institutional and private owners.

Regional players

• Immobilien Bern (canton/city real estate arms): Public-sector and municipal property owners/managers active in the Bern region, a partial competitor and potential client for Von Graffenried's Bewirtschaftung and Bewertung services in its home market.

Others

• Garaio AG (Garaio REM): Provider of the Garaio REM property management software that Von Graffenried relies on for core operations. Listed as an ecosystem/technology peer rather than a direct competitor, but its roadmap and pricing materially affect Von Graffenried's operating economics.
