Owning a property in Switzerland is a valuable asset. But

Owning a property in Switzerland is a valuable asset. But sometimes life takes you somewhere else for a while.

You might be moving abroad for work, planning an extended trip, or relocating temporarily. During that time, many homeowners wonder what to do with their property. Leaving a home empty for months or even years is rarely ideal.

An increasing number of homeowners are choosing to rent their property as a short-term rental while they are away. With the right management, your property can remain well cared for while also generating income.

This is where Alpinekeys can help.

Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Alpinekeys provides professional short-term rental property management for homeowners across Zurich and other German-speaking regions of Switzerland.

Moving Abroad? Your Property Doesn’t Have to Sit Empty

Many homeowners move abroad temporarily for work assignments, international opportunities, travel, or personal reasons.

While living abroad can be exciting, leaving your property empty can create concerns such as:

  • lack of regular maintenance

  • security issues

  • missed rental income opportunities

Short-term rentals can be a smart solution. By renting your home to guests for shorter stays, you can keep the property active while maintaining full ownership and flexibility for when you return.

However, managing guests, bookings, and property maintenance remotely can be difficult if you are not in Switzerland.

That’s why many homeowners choose to work with a professional property management partner.

What Does Short-Term Rental Property Management Include?

Managing a successful short-term rental involves much more than simply listing a property online.

Professional property management typically includes:

  • creating and optimizing listings on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com

  • setting a dynamic pricing strategy

  • handling guest communication and booking management

  • coordinating professional cleaning and turnover services

  • preparing the property between guest stays

  • ensuring guests have a smooth and comfortable experience

  • monitoring and maintaining the property

For homeowners who live abroad or have busy schedules, handling these tasks personally can become overwhelming.

With the right support, however, short-term rentals can become a simple and effective way to manage your property while generating income.
