Real estate consulting

Marcel Scherrer GmbH

Investing in Swiss Real Estate

As an owner-managed consulting boutique, I support you in the investment process for the Swiss real estate market. All services that are essential for you are offered and coordinated by me. If necessary, we are supported by a network of proven specialists. Geographically, the focus is on the greater Zurich area – from the canton of Schaffhausen to Glarus, from Solothurn to Graubünden.

Your advantage

The availability of market information in today’s real estate market is diverse: market reports and digital evaluations are inexpensive and available at all times. That is a good thing and creates transparency in the real estate market. However, orientation becomes a challenge as the amount of information increases.

As a real estate professional, I provide an overview, show possible solutions and develop strategies tailored to your needs. Over 30 years of experience, a healthy “gut feeling” and, last but not least, well-founded specialist knowledge is beneficial.

Success-driven action

Your success is my reward – this is not an empty promise. I live by this maxim. All customer mandates are managed by me and are always a top priority. For this reason, I work with a success-based fee on request. Your needs are my goals.

Let us talk about your projects and possible forms of cooperation, because: for me, it‘s real estate.

«Marcel Scherrer succeeded in understanding the very diverging interests in the shared construction site B14 in the Überlandpark (Zurich Schwamendingen), identifying solutions and ultimately bringing the three parties together with his negotiating skills. This creates the basis for increased utilization with over 100 new apartments - the constellation now has a lot of potential for something good and big.»
