Frequently Asked Legal Questions for Real Estate Agents

Find answers to the most common legal questions Swiss real estate professionals have about compliance, contracts, and business setup.

Do I need a special license to operate as a real estate agent in Switzerland?

Yes, some cantons require real estate agents to obtain a professional license. Licensing criteria vary and may include proof of qualifications, experience, and compliance with local real estate regulations.

Can I use standard templates for lease agreements?

Standard templates are useful but may not cover all risks. It is strongly recommended to have lease agreements reviewed or customized by a legal professional to reflect the specific terms and protect your interests.

What are my legal obligations during property transactions?

You must verify ownership, ensure all documents are accurate, and disclose relevant facts to clients. Non-compliance can lead to contract invalidation or legal liability for misrepresentation.

How can I resolve commission disputes with clients?

Commission disputes can often be settled through written agreements or mediation. If unresolved, legal action may be necessary. Keeping clear, signed contracts is the best preventive measure.

Is it necessary to form a legal entity to run an agency?

While not mandatory, forming a legal entity like a GmbH can provide liability protection and tax advantages. We can help you assess the best structure based on your goals and operation size.
