Betterhomes Switzerland has over 22,000 referrals
Betterhomes Switzerland has now carried out over 22,000 successful referrals. This enabled the brokerage company to more than double the number of referrals within five years. Betterhome Switzerland attributes this to a mixture of technology and local expertise.
In the first ten years of its existence until 2016, Betterhomes Switzerland brokered 10,000 properties. Now the brokerage company from Zurich, which is active in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, has cracked the 22,000 mark in Switzerland, informed Betterhomes in a message. This means that the number of referrals has more than doubled within five years.
The company attributes this success to its hybrid business model. “When it comes to real estate brokerage, we at Betterhomes have been a pioneer in combining state-of-the-art technology and local expertise,” CEO Cyrill Lanz is quoted in the press release. Specifically, the company uses self-developed software and an interest database as well as access to all relevant real estate portals. This is supplemented by a network of local brokerage firms.
In addition, Betterhomes does not charge a fixed price, but a success commission. Fixed-price models often contain hidden costs, explains Lanz. “Often, for example, visits are not included in these fixed prices and have to be paid for separately.” In addition, the company boss points out the function of technology as a supporting element. The focus of real estate brokerage by Betterhomes would continue to be “the human factor or sales competence”.
