Off-market chalets and apartments in Gstaad
Chalets and apartments in Gstaad, Saanen, Schönried and Saanenmöser have traditionally changed hands within a small circle. Off Market Homes sells your property without portals or signs, only to vetted buyers who have shown proof of funds and signed a confidentiality agreement.
Buyers who do not search on portals
In the Saanenland, supply is small and demand is international. Many owners do not want their chalet to appear on a portal, and many buyers look before a property becomes public. We first review with you whether the property may be used as a second home and who is allowed to buy it.

What to clarify before selling in Gstaad and the Saanenland
Second homes
Saanen, Lauenen and Gsteig have a high share of second homes. Under the Second Homes Act, new second homes can in principle no longer be created there. Properties that lawfully existed or were approved before 11 March 2012 can generally continue to be used freely. For price and the circle of possible buyers, this is often the decisive question.
Buyers living abroad
Persons living abroad generally need a Lex Koller permit to buy a holiday home. Whether a permit is possible depends on the location and the cantonal quota. EU and EFTA nationals living in Switzerland and holders of a C permit are generally not affected.
Taxes and fees
The canton of Bern levies a property gains tax and a property transfer tax on a sale. Have the figures calculated by the tax authority or a specialist before you sell.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change and every case is different. We review these points for your property in the first meeting, together with the notary and tax specialists where needed.
How it works
- Confidential first meeting, free of charge
- Free IAZI valuation based on real comparable transactions
- Matching against registered search mandates
- Discreet presentation after a confidentiality agreement
- Negotiation, purchase contract and notarisation, commission only on success
Frequently asked questions
Do you also sell chalets in Saanen and Schönried?
Yes. We sell chalets, apartments and land throughout the Saanenland, in Gstaad, Saanen, Schönried, Saanenmöser, Lauenen and Gsteig.
Can a foreign buyer purchase my chalet?
A person living abroad generally needs a Lex Koller permit, which depends on the location and the cantonal quota. We clarify this early so the sale does not fail on it.
What does the valuation cost?
Nothing. We prepare it free of charge with IAZI, the valuation system recognised by Swiss banks, and discuss the result with you in person.
Who finds out that my property is for sale?
Only buyers we have vetted and who have signed a confidentiality agreement. Your property does not appear on any portal, in any newspaper or on any sign.
What does it cost me as an owner?
The first meeting, the initial assessment and the valuation are free and without obligation. A commission is only due if the property is sold, and the amount is agreed in writing in advance.
