Objects with that certain something

The most frequently sold object

The Suite Hotel Zauberberg in Davos

The largest apartment

We were entrusted with the marketing of an 800 m² apartment in Zurich. Our affiche: "Zurich's largest apartment". Two callers angrily pointed out to us that they had larger apartments in Zurich! The Tages-Anzeiger subsequently stole our photos from the homepage and wrote an article about "Zurich's largest apartment". The result: an angry client and a withdrawal of mandate, but also an appointment with the editor-in-chief of the Tages-Anzeiger, who admitted his mistake.

The ensemble covers an area of over 160,000 m², is situated 1,711 m above sea level and, depending on the snow situation (e.g. danger of avalanches), is not accessible in winter at all or only by special vehicles. Today it is run as a restaurant with a guesthouse and is a popular destination for excursions in the Lower Engadine.

The most beautiful lakeside property

For the community of Männedorf
we are looking for a buyer of the listed Villa Alma. The villa became famous through the television series Lüthi and Blanc. In the house was a retirement home, which should have left the property with the sale. A very wealthy, over 90-year-old resident found out about it and called the director of the home to her home. She wanted to know from him how long he still wanted to work until his retirement. Then she made an offer to the municipality of Männedorf to purchase the villa for 25 years under building law. The accumulated building lease interest was transferred immediately. Thus the operation of the retirement home and the job of the home manager were secured. With this solution, the community will soon be able to decide once again on the future of Villa Alma.

The Hotel Seehof is the gateway to Davos and with its 5 stars is today one of the best hotels in Switzerland.
