Saxer Immobilien & Verwaltungen

What Saxer Immobilien & Verwaltungen does

Saxer Immobilien & Verwaltungen is a privately held, family-owned Swiss real estate services firm operating under the parent entity Saxer Unternehmungen AG in Thun, Canton of Bern. Founded in 2001 by Herby and Lilo Saxer, it runs two integrated divisions: Saxer Immobilien (brokerage, valuation, rental placement, and new-construction project marketing) and Saxer Verwaltungen (recurring property management for rental stock). Its core technology stack is conventional for the category: a website property listings portal (saxerimmo.ch), a free online property valuation calculator, an email-based "Suchabo" subscription that delivers listings before they hit public portals such as immoscout24.ch and homegate.ch, plus marketing presentation tools including virtual 360° tours, digital home staging, visualized floor plans, drone photography, and interactive exposés. No proprietary AI, platform APIs, or SDKs are offered; the firm competes on local presence and human-led advice rather than data product.

The company makes money through three revenue streams: transaction commissions on the purchase and sale of residential property (Saxer Immobilien), one-time placement fees on rental deals, and recurring management fees on the rental portfolio (Saxer Verwaltungen, typically a percentage of rental income or fixed per-unit fee). Pricing for individual property listings ranges from CHF 400,000 for a 2.5-room apartment in Thun to over CHF 1,310,000 for a 6.5-room single-family house in Oberhofen, with rentals priced around CHF 1,600/month net. Commercial commission rates are not publicly disclosed; pricing for services is quote-based.

The primary customer segments are private residential property owners, buyers, and renters in the Thunersee region, plus developers of new construction projects who contract the firm for sales and first-rental marketing. Distribution is sales-led: phone, email, walk-in consultation at the Thun headquarters (Frutigenstrasse 82, Thun), plus a self-serve listings channel on the website. The firm is a member of SVIT Bern (Swiss Real Estate Industry Association), employs approximately 24 people, and operates exclusively in the Thunersee region of Canton Bern with no documented geographic expansion outside Switzerland.

Others

• Homegate: Major Swiss real estate marketplace listing residential and commercial properties; represents the listing-aggregator layer that threatens traditional broker intermediation.
• Immoscout24: Switzerland's largest property listing portal and ecosystem participant; not a direct brokerage competitor but a channel Saxer uses and partially competes against via its Suchabo early-access subscription.

Broad incumbents

• Apleona Switzerland: Large integrated real estate services and facility management provider in Switzerland; competes on commercial property management and adjacent services that overlap with Saxer's rental management practice.
• Wüest Partner: Leading Swiss real estate research, valuation, and consulting firm; overlaps with Saxer's valuation practice and provides a benchmark for institutional-grade appraisal capability.
• Engel & Völkers Switzerland: International premium real estate franchise with Swiss operations covering brokerage, valuation, and project marketing. Overlaps with Saxer's full-service residential offering but operates at a national/international scale.

Direct peers

• Livit AG: Swiss property management specialist handling residential and commercial portfolios; competes with Saxer Verwaltungen on rental property administration and tenant management services.
• RE/MAX Switzerland: Global franchise brokerage operating across Switzerland; competes with Saxer in residential brokerage, rental placement, and valuation under a recognized brand. Highly comparable business model and customer base.
• SPG Intercity: Swiss independent brokerage and property management firm active in multiple cantons; directly comparable to Saxer on brokerage, rental, and management services with a similar regional-to-mid-market focus.
