In Switzerland’s premium property landscape, boutique real estate consultancies continue to define value through expertise, discretion, and consistency rather than scale. Private Fine Immobilien AG operates within this framework, offering a focused advisory model shaped by market knowledge, personal engagement, and long-term perspective. Its positioning is reinforced through recognition by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, situating the firm among consultancies aligned with established international luxury standards. In 2026, Private Fine Immobilien AG was recognised in the category of Best Luxury Boutique Real Estate Consultancy in Switzerland, marking its second consecutive LLA victory.
A Location Defined by Quality of Life
Headquartered in Ascona, Private Fine Immobilien AG is based in a destination known for its cultural relevance and residential appeal. Ascona’s selection as Swiss Destination of the Year 2025 reflects the town’s enduring attractiveness as a place to live and invest, reinforcing its standing within the national and international property market. This setting provides a natural foundation for a consultancy focused on high-value residential and vacation properties.
Founded in 2013, the company was established with a clear intent – to remain selective, informed, and client-oriented in a sector often driven by volume. This philosophy continues to guide its operations today.
Leadership Shaped by Experience
Private Fine Immobilien AG is led by its founder, Claudia Tresch, whose professional background spans more than two decades in Swiss real estate. Prior to founding the company, she directed Engel & Völkers Ascona for twenty years, during which the office achieved leading national performance and international recognition within the network. This experience informed a leadership approach centred on judgment, responsibility, and personal accountability.
Her professional qualifications as a federally certified real estate agent (SVIT Zurich) and registered fiduciary support a practice grounded in compliance, valuation accuracy, and market realism. These credentials remain integral to the firm’s advisory role, particularly in transactions requiring structured analysis and discretion.
A Focused Portfolio and Service Structure
The company’s portfolio is primarily dedicated to high-end vacation homes, representing 70% vacation homes and 30% primary residences of its activity, with the remaining share focused on primary residential properties. This concentration reflects both client demand and the firm’s in-depth familiarity with secondary residences in premium Swiss locations.
Services are structured around three core areas – property sales, acquisitions, and valuations. Each engagement begins with a detailed consultation designed to clarify objectives, lifestyle considerations, and investment parameters. This process supports informed decision-making, allowing the consultancy to operate with precision rather than breadth.
Private Fine Immobilien AG is known for its valuation methodology, which is based on market evidence and professional assessment rather than assumption. This approach supports realistic pricing strategies and contributes to efficient transaction timelines.
Discretion as an Operating Principle
Confidentiality remains central to the firm’s identity. Working with private clients, business leaders, and international buyers requires careful handling of information at every stage of a transaction. This operating principle has contributed to long-standing client relationships built on trust and professional restraint.
The consultancy’s network extends beyond Switzerland, supporting cross-border transactions while maintaining a controlled and selective operating profile. Marketing activities are structured to support visibility without compromising privacy or positioning.
Contemporary Practices and Future Direction
Operationally, the company integrates modern business practices, including remote work structures and the use of sustainable office supplies. These measures support efficiency and reflect current expectations around responsible operations, without positioning sustainability as a marketing narrative.
Looking ahead, Private Fine Immobilien AG plans to expand its presence through a selective international licensing model. This approach is intended to extend the firm’s advisory philosophy to new markets while preserving its defining characteristics – controlled growth, professional rigour, and discretion.
A Defined Role in Swiss Luxury Real Estate
Within a complex and highly regulated market, Private Fine Immobilien AG maintains a clearly defined role as an advisory partner rather than a transactional intermediary. Its boutique structure allows for sustained involvement, informed guidance, and outcomes aligned with client priorities.
Recognition as Best Luxury Boutique Real Estate Consultancy in Switzerland in 2026 reinforces this positioning, confirming relevance without altering the firm’s measured operating model.
Invest in the safe harbour of Switzerland, a politically safe country where the prospects of yielding a return are guaranteed while selling your property. Real estate is a matter of trust, and that is why Private Fine is personally and individually committed to you and your concerns. Their team looks forward to welcoming you to their office at any time, treating your property like their own. Getting it right from the start.

On the floor below, there are a further 3 rooms that can be used individually, as bedrooms, guest rooms, as a gym or as a checkroom.
This level is flooded with natural light and includes two bathrooms with showers that provide relaxation. A special highlight is another outdoor seating area designed with natural stone, which invites you to enjoy your first morning coffee.
There are a total of three parking spaces available for your vehicles. A spacious carport has already been approved and is included in the purchase price. A short path leads to the house. An inclined lift is available for transportation.
The proximity to Ascona and the unique position underline the attractive location of the villa, which offers both luxury and leisure opportunities. Thanks to its excellent position, manicured garden, pool, and spacious layout, this villa is the ideal retreat for discerning buyers. In addition, the villa can be purchased as a second home – a true gem for those in search of privacy, comfort, and a first-class quality of life.
