Get the most out of immomax – from your first search to your own listing.

Searching

Enter one or more towns, postcodes, cantons, districts or city quarters – the suggestions show you the type. Several places at once are no problem: “Zurich, Winterthur, 8400” is a single search. Then narrow it down by rent or buy, property type, rooms, price and area.

Filters that save you work

Beyond the usual filters you can narrow by floor, fittings, heating type or year of construction. Useful when flat-hunting: the filter for flat-shares, the option to exclude ground floor and basement – and the ability to combine several property types at once.

Map search and commute time

Move the map and the results follow automatically. You can draw your own search area, pick a radius around a point, or use the commute filter to show only properties within, say, 30 minutes of your workplace. Save your address in your account and the travel time appears on every listing.

Saved searches

Save a search as an alert and new matches come to you automatically. “Instant” checks every minute and reaches you in near real time – on a tight market that is often what decides it. There are also daily or weekly summaries, each with a daily cap and quiet hours so it never turns into spam. You can unsubscribe with one click from any message, without signing in.

Favourites and price alerts

Save listings with the heart icon. If a favourite’s price drops, we tell you – and the listing page shows whether the price has already been adjusted since publication.

Understanding duplicate listings

When a result carries “also found on …”, we recognised the same property across several portals and merged them. The source list takes you to each original. Where details differ, what the original source says always prevails.

Reading the price check and tax figures

The price check compares the listing against the median of comparable properties in the same municipality, in CHF per m². The tax figure shows what the municipality costs you per year – for a household profile you choose, and next to your reference location. Both are indications, not offers.

Contacting the advertiser

For aggregated listings the contact button takes you to the original source, where your enquiry proceeds as usual. We only send you there; we do not read along. For listings published directly with us, your message goes to the advertiser themselves.

Publishing your own listing

Create an account, confirm your mobile number by SMS, enter your listing with photos – after a short review it goes live and reaches everyone whose saved search matches. It is free for private individuals; the number of simultaneously active listings is capped.

For agents and property managers

In the agent directory every agency has a profile you can claim free of charge. After that you manage the details and logo yourself and see enquiries in your dashboard. Preferred placement in the results is available as a paid option.

Account and security

You can sign in with a password, or via Google or Apple. For more security, add a second factor (TOTP) in your account settings, or a passkey – which removes the need for a password altogether. Language, notifications and your address for commute times live there too.

Something not right?

Wrong price, property already taken, listing looks suspicious: “Report listing” on the listing page brings it to us. We look at every report and correct or remove the entries concerned.
