If you are organizing a relocation, Barbara from Lodge Relocation is the person to trust without hesitation. She made my move truly simple and completely stress-free.
Right from our first contact, she proposed exclusively high-quality properties and provided constant, attentive support throughout the entire home search process. Her help was essential not just in finding the right apartment, but also in navigating the complex bureaucracy: she guided me step-by-step through filling out all the paperwork and assisted me with great precision during the delicate entry inspection.
Barbara combines great professionalism with rare empathy. She immediately understood my needs and always made me feel in safe hands during such a chaotic time as an international relocation.
I highly recommend her to anyone in need of reliable, top-tier support. Thank you again, Barbara and Lodge Relocation!

I cannot recommend Claire Bodson and the Lodge agency highly enough. From the very first conversation, Claire brought not only exceptional professionalism, but also genuine care, patience, and commitment to helping my family and me find the right home.
Finding an apartment can be incredibly stressful, especially when it involves your family—but Claire turned what could have been a long, exhausting, and overwhelming journey into a truly positive experience. She went above and beyond at every step, always available, always listening, and always one step ahead. Her communication was outstanding, her support constant, and her determination to find the best possible solution never wavered.
Claire clearly loves what she does, and it shows in everything she brings to her work. Without her dedication and guidance, this search would have been difficult and draining. Instead, it was handled with care, confidence, and heart.
Lodge is fortunate to have someone like Claire representing their values. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire Bodson and the Lodge agency to anyone looking not just for a real estate professional, but for someone who truly advocates for their clients.
Thank you Claire !

Relocating to Switzerland comes with a lot of unknowns, but having Claire Bodson as my Consultant made the entire process feel smooth and well-supported. She was proactive, always responsive, and genuinely invested in finding the right apartment for me.
Claire consistently went above and beyond suggesting options I hadn’t considered, following up without ever needing to be asked, and making what could have been a stressful experience feel remarkably smooth.
I’m now happily settled into my new home, and I owe a great deal of that to Claire. Highly recommended.

I recently used Lodge Services Relocation SA for my move to Geneva, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Barbara assisted us throughout the entire process and was extremely kind and professional.
Finding an apartment in Geneva can be challenging, but Barbara made it so much easier. She helped us find the flat we’re living in today, and we absolutely love it. Her support didn’t stop there: she handled all communication with the Régie on our behalf and accompanied us through the final inspection once our application was accepted.
Her attention to detail and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. I highly recommend Lodge Services Relocation to anyone relocating to Geneva.

I’ve had the most wonderful experience with Edith, who accompanied me through the entire process of flat selection, organizing a visit, securing the place and, finally, handing over the keys!
She made the process extremely smooth in a very competitive market. Not only was it done professionally, but with warmth and smiles!
There was even an adorable bouquet of flowers in the living room to welcome me in!
Thank you, Edith & Lodge Relocation, to have made of this experience a memorable one!

I found my house thanks to the relations of LODGE with the Geneva agency and intermediaries. As an expat moving to Geneva from another country, I’m very satisfied with their services and highly recommend them. My agent Florence was always very fast in the replies and she guided me very well throughout the entire process from house search to contract reading and signing.
Many thanks to Florence and the entire LODGE team.

Nothing less than 5 stars! The experience was smooth and clear from the beginning til the end. Rocio really took the time in every step, from listening to the requirements, to searching for apartments and securing one that matched my description. She answered in time all kind of questions and helped in all situations, always being transparent and realistic. Keep in mind that we’re talking about a difficult market and results may take time, but they will be there. Totally recommend Lodge relocation.

Florence helped me settle in Geneva. My arrival in Geneva was much easier thanks to Florence. She listened to my needs throughout my apartment search. She was very flexible and, above all, responsive. Moreover, Florence is very friendly and always offers good advice. I can only recommend Lodge’s services given the dynamics of the market!
If I need to change apartments in the future, I will use Lodge for greater peace of mind!

Transitioning in (2023) and out (2025) of Geneva with help from Lodge Service Relocation team was so much easier. Madam Chrystel Florentin and her team handled the process with absolute professionalism, carefully advising and following up at every step of the way. They are well versed and experienced with the official requirements, and go out of their way to explain and attend to our queries. Without the team’s help, the process would be very stressful. Overall, we had a great experience availing the team’s service, and recommend them to those families/individuals relocating in and out of Geneva.
Thank you Madam Chrystel Florentin and other Lodge Service Relocation team members.

We used the services of Lodge Services Relocation this summer for our arrival in Geneva. It was with Claire that we discovered the city and visited apartments. And it went very well! Claire was very attentive to our expectations but also very responsive, flexible and available. She knows the city very well and had very good advice. I therefore recommend this company!
