Selling property in Basel

Herr Ruf hat den eidgenössischen Titel nicht nur erworben, sondern die Prüfungen dafür verantwortet: von 2008 bis 2021 als Präsident der Prüfungskommission der Höheren Fachprüfung Immobilientreuhand, von 2009 bis 2020 als Präsident der Schweizerischen Fachprüfungskommission der Immobilienwirtschaft. Wer Ihre Liegenschaft anschaut, hat den Massstab mitgesetzt, an dem dieser Beruf gemessen wird.

The valuation is not made by a calculator but by a federally certified real estate trustee (eidg. dipl. Immobilientreuhänder) after a site visit. What a property is worth can be seen in the property – not in a form.

You have one contact person, not a department. Whoever made the valuation also conducts the negotiations and sits at the table with you at the notary's office.

We stay on after the sale. For condominium ownership (Stockwerkeigentum) we continue to manage the owners' association, for investment properties the property management. For us, completion is not a farewell.

The best possible price, without scorched earth. Relations with neighbours, tenants and authorities remain intact – in a city where people know each other, that is worth more than a few extra francs at completion.

This experience does not come from one-off transactions. At the Stöcklin site in Arlesheim, from the 1990s to 2020, we first let the commercial space, then ran the property management and finally accompanied the site through to its sale. Anyone who has known a property for thirty years knows what it is worth when it is sold.
