MGW Immobilien AG

Company
Our company was founded in 1970 under the name Michel-Grunauer & Cie. When it was later converted into a public limited company in 1972, the initial letters of the three partners at the time, R. Michel, H. Grunauer, and R. Wolfelsperger, were incorporated into our company name, which is still valid today, as the memorable abbreviation MGW Immobilien AG. This is despite the fact that the first two partners left the company at the end of 1986 and it was subsequently run solely by Richard Wolfelsperger, a Swiss certified real estate trustee. In the meantime, his two sons, Boris and Michael Wolfelsperger, have also joined the company, ensuring the continuity of our business. Three other family members round off the total workforce of nine full-time and part-time employees. Our premises, which we moved into in 1988, are conveniently located in the Gellert district with plenty of parking spaces available in the immediate vicinity.

Philosophy
Our company policy has always been guided by two maxims:

"We don't want to be the biggest, we want to remain among the best."

The family's close ties to the company guarantee maximum flexibility and personal, competent contact with our customers. We are proud that we can fulfill almost every individual request our customers have.

"Stick to what you know."

We carry out most of our work in our region, i.e., where we know our way around. We know what we are capable of and have no problem calling in external experts, such as architects, lawyers, etc., for support when needed. We are independent and neutral. Nevertheless, we have the necessary network of contacts in all areas.

Our core competence essentially comprises the following services:

As a family business steeped in tradition, we don't think much of newfangled terms such as facility or portfolio management. We stick to traditional property management. What use are high-sounding, foreign-language so-called technical terms if the service provided is not up to scratch? What's more, we understand "management" to mean truly economical, i.e., cost-optimized care of the properties entrusted to us. As you can see, we speak a language that we understand and that can also be understood by non-experts.

Administration
You decide for yourself how much you want to be involved in property issues. Whether you need full management from A to Z or only specific areas such as accounting, technical support, or simply our help with specific questions:

we are always there for you as your partner.

When you transfer full management to us, we take care of all your worries and problems. We open a separate bank account at the bank of your choice, which you can also access yourself at any time. You are of course also entitled to the interest credits. All payment transactions are processed via this account. At the end of each quarter, we prepare an interim statement for your property. At the end of the year, you will receive a detailed, tax-compliant statement with all invoices and receipts. This makes the annual statement transparent and easy for you to check. You will receive this annual statement by mid-January at the latest.

Property management is a matter of trust. We manage properties for private individuals, companies, pension funds, and banks, some of whom have been loyal to us since the company was founded. For some time now, we have also been managing a number of properties for the municipality of Basel-Stadt.

Rental
In addition to renting out properties as part of our management mandates, we also take on individual mandates for apartments or commercial premises. With our regular, two-column collective advertisement, we have achieved considerable success for over 30 years, with individual clients only being charged on a pro rata basis, i.e., at a low cost. Of course, we also advertise our properties on the most important internet portals. Please note that we do not engage in extensive self-promotion at your expense! The initial rental of new properties is also part of our remit. We advise you on setting rents and draw up a detailed concept. Our task is only complete once the move-in has been coordinated and the last apartment has been handed over to the relevant tenant.

Sales / brokerage
In over 40 years of business, we have brokered properties of all sizes and types of use. It is not always easy to set a market-driven selling price. As brokers, our job is to achieve the best possible result for all parties involved.

Valuation
When appraising a property, a wide variety of aspects must be taken into account. From a simple value calculation to a comprehensive market value appraisal with a detailed property description, every option is possible or sensible, depending on the intended use. We would be happy to discuss this with you without obligation.

Construction supervision
Are you about to embark on a construction project and would like the advice of an expert? We would be happy to contribute our many years of experience to your project. We also have a wealth of experience in supporting construction consortia, including accounting.

Consulting
The real estate industry is so complex and diverse that there are always questions that should really be put to an expert. Only thanks to their specialist knowledge and extensive experience can these questions be answered satisfactorily. Don't hesitate to call us for a no-obligation consultation.
