Snell Relocation
Your job couldn´t be better:
challenging and complying with new, interesting colleagues.
But the success of an international assignment depends highly on the well-being of the non-working partner.
It is not surprising that 40% of the international assignment fail due to unhappiness of the partner.
Consequently, I pay special attention to your better half.
From 100% to 0% -
give your life a new meaning
The change from a 100% career partner to a happy supporting partner can be difficult and stressful
- for both of you -
I have been in the same situation. Let me point out possibilities about how to make the most out of your valuable time and how you can enjoy yourself at best.
Happy WIFE (Partner)
happy LiFe
With me as YOUR Swiss destination service provider during your entire stay in Basel, Zug and Zurich
your culture shock has no chance because I do it right from the beginning
... I make the difference!
Silke Snell
I am originally from Düsseldorf in Germany.
In 2005 I moved to Switzerland for the first time.
For the "first time", because after a 4-years stay abroad in Mumbai, India between 2011 and 2014 I returned to Switzerland for the second time.
India was a fantastic learning school and I know by heard the needs of an Expat who arrives in a new country with different culture, language and mentality.
Thus, after my second return back to Switzerland I decided to make a profession out of my knowledge and became a Destination Service Provider (DSP). Since then I provide my service to leading Swiss pharmaceutical companies in Basel and Zurich and to individual clients.
I have 16 years of work experience in Logistic Management, worked for Mercer`s to analayze the cost-of-living index in India and have moved my private household more than 10 times in the last 20 years to different cities and countries. So I know what it takes to change home.
Supporting Expats is my passion and I will do whatever is required to provide you with a Happy Landing in this wonderful country of Switzerland.
I have already done it - I turned Switzerland into my new home...
... and gained the Swiss Citizenship
...see YOU soon and HAPPY LANDING

Silke catered professionally and cheerful to every aspect of my relocation. From the very beginning, Silke genuinely wanted to know and understand me as a person.
As a result, Silke was able to then provide a service that matched my needs perfectly.
It was rare that I had to ask Silke a question, as she had anticipated an thoroughly prepared for my requirements. When I did have a question, Silke answered it easily.
I would recommend anyone relocating to Switzerland the same joy that I´ve had, in being expertly assisted in the move by Silke

"Silke managed to engage our teenage daughter who really was not interested in the move to Basel.
The school appointment was also very useful to put everybody´s worries to rest and by showing my daughter the locations as compared to the school made her decision much easier and less stressful.
Upon our arrival
Silke was available as a friend,
As a matter of fact we consider her now as a family friend.
I could strongly recommend her for any relocation services to the Basel area.

"We´ve moved internationally several times before, but this was our first move with a school-aged child (and our first relocation during a pandemic!)
Despite all of this, this was by far our easiest relocation, thanks entirely to our amazing relocation agent Silke (who my son adored!)
As it turned out, there are a lot of peculiarities about moving to Zurich (as far as property searches and applications, obtaining residence permits, etc.)
and it made things so much easier having an expert navigate it for us.
And my son misses you already very much! ❤"

"Durch die Corona Pandemie und dem Lockdown war der Start äußerst schwierig, aber ich wurde von Frau Snell herzlich empfangen, was mir sehr geholfen hat.
Die Betreuung durch sie war absolute Spitzenklasse!
Einfach wunderbar - kompetent nett und smart. Ich habe mich jederzeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Sie war mir stets eine verlässliche und schnelle Ansprechpartnerin und hat sehr gut verstanden, was mir wichtig ist und mir gute Vorschläge gemacht.
Mit ihrer stets freundlichen und engagierten Art, hat sie meine Erwartungen übertroffen.
Und gemeinsam haben wir - trotz der Widrigkeiten - das Ziel, einen pünktlichen Einzug - noch dazu in Seefeld - erreicht."
