Swap real estate easily: Fulfill your dream home with just a few clicks.

hoyou brings parties together. This could be an older homeowner of a single-family house who wishes for a smaller apartment, and a young family living in a too small apartment with a baby on the way, desperately searching for a house but unable to find one.

Thanks to hoyou, you can discover each other and exchange your homes stress-free.

It doesn't matter if one property is more expensive than the other because only the living situations are being exchanged. Both transactions are completed and paid for separately. This means there are two sales with two payments. For example, Owner A pays Owner B CHF 1.2 million, and Owner B pays Owner A CHF 950,000.

Here's how it works:

Frequently Asked Questions 

Any more questions? Here's a short "questionnaire" about real estate exchange and hoyou.

hoyou is the first Swiss real estate exchange platform for property owners and tenants willing to swap.

After capturing your search profile and property, you can choose whether you want to conduct the exchange process yourself (subscription system) or have it done by an exchange expert (broker). The exchange experts are local and experienced brokers. Once your property is activated, potential buyers can like each other's properties, and if there is a suitable match, both properties will be visited.

  • Free Trial Subscription: With this, you can view real estate offers with limited information and only one image. Additionally, you cannot compose chat messages or give hearts.
  • Standard Subscription: For CHF 0.99 per day, your property is fully represented, and you can view other properties under the Standard subscription. However, you may not necessarily have access to the Premium or Exchange Expert subscriptions. Users with these subscriptions can individually set what, who, and when they can see.
  • Premium Subscription: For CHF 1.99 per day, your property is visible to users according to the settings you have specified. You can define which, if any, pictures, information, and documents are shown.
  • Exchange Expert Subscription (for property owners only): Only upon a successful sale, the Exchange Expert is entitled to a market-standard commission of 2% (plus VAT). In this process, you have not only sold your property but also found a new property simultaneously.
