Thomas Graf

What Thomas Graf does

thomasgraf ag is a Swiss real estate services company founded in 2012 in Bern by Thomas Graf. The firm operates as a privately held Aktiengesellschaft and provides real estate brokerage, property rentals, valuations, project development, and strategic consulting across three offices in Bern (headquarters), Zurich, and Zug (Oberägeri). With 12 employees, the company serves private property owners, institutional investors, general contractors, architects, and public-sector clients in Switzerland's three most active German-speaking real estate corridors, and reports a cumulative track record of 789 properties sold and 640 properties rented.

The company's core offerings span the full transaction lifecycle: full-service sales for residential, commercial, and investment properties; rental brokerage for apartments, houses, offices, and land; professional property valuation and portfolio analysis; and end-to-end project development from conception through tenant or buyer matching. An active development pipeline includes six residential projects across Jegenstorf, Münsingen, Neuenegg, Uettligen, Heimberg, and Bremgarten, representing a strategic move upstream from pure brokerage. The technology stack is a modest web platform featuring property listings, contact forms, and two customer-facing calculators (a financing affordability calculator and an investment yield calculator). The firm holds memberships in SVIT Bern and the Schweizerische Maklerkammer SMK, and maintains supporting partnerships with Trion Immo (property management) and hypolino (financing referrals).

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based real estate commissions negotiated on a per-deal basis, with rates tailored to property type, value, and service scope. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct consultation through regionally empowered partners (the Welti brothers in Zurich, Schumacher and Andermatt-Iten in Zug) with a content marketing layer via the corporate blog (Immoratgeber), property listings, and SEO-optimized website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the business model carries no disclosed subscription, retainer, or platform revenue streams; all monetization is tied to completed real estate transactions or development project economics.
