Property management is her speciality. Monika Bieler has been responsible for the Real Estate unit at swisspartners Fiduciary Services Switzerland since 1 July 2019. As a self-described homesick native of Graubünden in eastern Switzerland, she made her way to the “faraway big city” of Zurich at the age of 20 with a plan to stay for no more than six months. Even though things were not easy to begin with and she yearned for home, despite her best-laid plans Monika has now been in Zurich for 34 years.
Monika Bieler initially worked as a commercial member of staff in the issuance department at Volksbank, which was subsequently merged into Credit Suisse. This big organisation soon became too impersonal for her, and when she received a job offer from a small property management firm she decided to take a leap into the unknown. The move gave Monika the opportunity to learn about the property business from the ground up, working on the front line and gaining an insight into all aspects of real estate. When her boss retired, she moved to a Zurich-based property services provider. And when swisspartners Fiduciary Services Switzerland added real estate to its offering in 2019, it was time for another career move and a fresh challenge.
Monika is responsible for all aspects of rental properties within swisspartners’ Real Estate Management unit. «We’re the point of contact for anyone seeking a stress-free approach to managing their property,» she explains. She rents out residential property, takes care of small-scale and major renovation work and acts as an intermediary between owners, tenants, tradespeople and public authorities. Monika is also involved in the process of selling real estate and residential property, while some clients entrust her with finding suitable properties or plots of land for development.
So what does she like about swisspartners?
«The whole team here at swisspartners made me feel very welcome from the word go. I have plenty of freedom to organise my day-to-day work as I choose, and I get to work in one of the most beautiful locations in the heart of Zurich. It’s a pleasure to come in to work every day.» And if work does get a little stressful from time to time, Monika unwinds by «doing nothing» with a glas of fine wine at her home in the Limmat Valley or by doing sport. She enjoys mountain biking in summer and skiing in winter as well as keeping fit with step aerobics and aero dance.
