TESTIMONIALS

‘’ We called upon SWISS REM, more specifically its director, in the context of two real estate projects in Lausanne.
We entrusted him with the management mandates, which were implemented to our entire satisfaction. This applies both to the discussions with the different partners involved and to the calculation of the costs and maintenance of the budget, which was vital. The pertinence of SWISS REM’s initiatives, their accessibility and knowledge of the legal and administrative requirements avoided many a slip-up and saved precious time.’’

‘’ I called upon SWISS REM on a number of files concerning constructions, renovations, sales of properties as well as for their inheritance management guidance. Each time their work was precise, rapid and clear. Their director is reactive, conscientious, ethical and attentive to our objectives. The legal and banking backgrounds of his colleagues was also highly appreciated. In short: very efficient.’’

‘’ Since 2017, SWISS REM has assumed responsibility for managing our pension fund’s real estate investment segment. This involved, in particular, responsibility for the activities of our internal governance, planning and management of major works carried out at a steady pace, with a view to a potential sale of our real estate portfolio. At the suggestion of SWISS REM we first reflected on the most appropriate strategy, then entrusted them with the implementation of the technical, legal, financial and rental aspects.’’

‘’The collaboration worked out very well, with competent interlocutors who were equally at ease with the specificities relating to pension fund property holdings and with the daily administrative and management activities. The financial result clearly exceeded our expectations. We are happy to recommend the services of SWISS REM to pension funds wishing to put in place an organisational and management strategy that enables them to improve the results of their real estate investment segment.’’

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ADVICE

For owners, property asset management consists of integrating the real estate portion of their assets into their overall assets. SWISS REM’s property management advice is called ‘patrimonial’ because it takes into account the owners’ specific personal situations and existing interactions between their movable and immovable assets, with a view to overall optimisation.

Proposal and implementation of made-to-measure investment strategies

In function of his asset situation, every owner should have a personal vision of the evolution of his property assets and his objectives. This requires strategic planning.

Project management

Project management is a function that is a key part in the implementation of the owner’s asset strategy. If the project requires managing construction, it is subordinate to the project manager.

Value enhancement on behalf of owners

This consists in giving the owner the means that enable him to make the most of his real estate asset.

Collecting information and strategic planning

The real estate is managed in a long-term perspective, based on information that is as complete as possible.

Assistance on the financial and legal aspects of real estate management

In addition to property, real estate asset management includes the legal and financial aspects.

Representing the owner

In all circumstances where the owner needs to be represented, Swiss REM can help him.

Real estate family office

The real estate family office caters to the needs of one or more family members aiming to incorporate real estate into their global wealth management consideration, taking responsibility for executing the decisions that have been made.

Portfolio analysis and management reporting

While collecting data is important, analysing them makes it possible to deduce valuable information expressed in the management reporting.

Constructions

An owner who purchased a building off plan from a general contractor asked us to monitor the construction site from A to Z through to delivery.

Asset management advice

Four sisters forming an heirship asked us to organise the construction and ownership of a property on an adjoining plot of land belonging to them, without having to put up any equity capital. The sisters also wanted the lots to be divided up as a PPE (ownership by floor), in such a way as to enable the estate to be wound up.

Property portfolio

A pension fund, which only manages the assets of retired people, entrusted us with the responsibility of administering its property management as well as renovating five of its eleven buildings (including the addition of storeys) with a view to selling this portfolio. We advised the owner on the development and implementation of a strategy specifically adapted to the situation.

Management mandate

The owner of a small three-storey building, which was entirely occupied by a couple from the owner’s family, decided to create three rental apartments following the departure of the occupants. SWISS REM took charge of managing the project, which included choosing the architectural design, determining the commercial positioning and conducting a market study, followed by monitoring the works, finding a property management company and a tenant, selecting tenants, and negotiating the different contracts.

Renovations

Following the placing in a protected zone of multiple plots on his property, an owner commissioned us to discuss with the commune the ‘unfreezing’ of the plots concerned and at the same time to manage the renovation of a farm within the perimeter.

Budget management

A commune (local authority) asked us to make an offer on the organisation (and monitoring) of calls for tender, the archiving, and the funding of an infrastructure project worth CHF 350 million over 5 years. The questions of the funding source and budget monitoring were central.

Family office immobilier

Le family office immobilier répond aux besoins d’un ou plusieurs membres d’une famille qui souhaitent intégrer l’immobilier dans leur réflexion patrimoniale globale, en assurant la mise en œuvre des décisions prises.

Tenue du budget

Une commune nous a demandé de proposer l’organisation des appels d’offres (et suivi), de l’archivage, ainsi que du financement d’un projet d’infrastructure de CHF 350 millions sur 5 ans. La question de la source du financement et du suivi du budget était centrale.

Gestion courante de l’administration des immeubles du propriétaire

La gestion administrative des immeubles de rendement est fondamentale pour favoriser la stabilité des loyers, élément important de la valorisation de l’immeuble.

Proposition et mise en œuvre de stratégies d’investissement sur mesure

En fonction de sa situation patrimoniale, chaque propriétaire devrait avoir une vision personnelle de l’évolution de ses avoirs immobiliers et de ses objectifs. Cela nécessite une réflexion stratégique.

Valorisation de propriété pour le compte de propriétaires

Cela consiste à donner au propriétaire les moyens lui permettant de tirer le meilleur profit de son bien immobilier.

Pilotage de projets

Le pilotage de projet est une fonction qui s’inscrit dans l’exécution de la stratégie patrimoniale du propriétaire. Si le projet demande une direction de travaux, elle est subordonnée au pilote du projet.
