Just Relocated is the one-person relocation practice of Deniz Ozgul, who supports families moving to Switzerland. Before settling here she lived and worked in Turkey and the United Kingdom, and after 15 years of moving between countries with her own family she decided to turn that experience into a service. She registered Just Relocated as a sole proprietorship in the Zurich commercial register in December 2020, with its seat in Rüschlikon on Lake Zurich. Her approach mixes practical relocation help with coaching for the emotional side of a move, for parents, partners and children alike.
The coaching part of Just Relocated is aimed at people who are preparing a move, have just arrived or are still struggling to feel at home after the first months. Sessions run online over Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp, so they can start before you leave your current country. Deniz describes herself as a family and life coach, and she also offers career coaching for a partner who is applying for jobs in Switzerland.
On the practical side, she helps with the apartment search and lists interpreting at viewings among her services. She explains how to register with your Gemeinde, gives guidance on insurance (basic health insurance is compulsory within three months of arrival), sets up utilities and a bank account and walks you through the neighbourhood. For families there is help with school search and registration, language schools, doctors and appointments, cleaners, car leasing or rental, pet relocation and travel plans for relatives who come to visit.
Each engagement starts with a detailed consultation that becomes a plan with timelines, milestones, a schedule and a cost analysis, and clients can call with questions throughout the relocation. What sets Just Relocated apart is its sustainability angle: Deniz trained as an environmental engineer at Istanbul Technical University, holds a sustainable management degree from the University of Cambridge and looks for ways to cut the carbon footprint of each international move she supports.
She works in English and Turkish, and the website has a separate Turkish section for families coming from Turkey. The contact page lists Zurich, Düsseldorf and London; Just Relocated Zurich is the base for moves within Switzerland. The website does not publish prices or a phone number, so the easiest first step is the free 10-minute introductory call requested through the contact form or by email.
Coaching sessions help you and your family prepare for the move and adjust afterwards: coping strategies for the unknown, support for children getting used to a new school and language, building a new social network and understanding local customs and values. Sessions run online via Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp, so they can start well before you arrive, and the demanding first year in the new country is a particular focus.
When one partner moves for a job, the other often has to rebuild a career from scratch. Just Relocated offers career coaching for the accompanying spouse or partner while they apply for jobs in Switzerland, alongside the family relocation coaching, so that both careers are part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Help with finding a rental apartment, interpreting at viewings and a guide to the neighbourhood you are considering. Expect Swiss landlords to ask for a complete application with ID, permit, payslips and a debt register extract (Betreibungsauszug), and usually a deposit of up to three months' rent. Ask in the first call which languages she can interpret between.
Information on registering with your Gemeinde after arrival, guidance on the insurance you need, including compulsory basic health insurance, setting up electricity, internet and other utilities, and opening a Swiss bank account. The aim is to get through the first administrative weeks without guesswork, with someone to ask whenever a letter or form is unclear.
School search and registration, a guide to language schools, finding doctors and booking appointments, arranging cleaning services, car leasing or rental, pet relocation and travel arrangements for family members and visitors. The list is open-ended: other requests that come up during a move can be discussed and added to the plan.
Moving with pets is part of the plan: Just Relocated helps you bring your pets along when you relocate to Switzerland. What exactly is covered for your move is agreed with Deniz in the free first consultation.
Sustainability is the main focus of Just Relocated. Deniz trained as an environmental engineer, worked on environmental solutions in Izmir, Istanbul and London and holds a sustainable management degree from the University of Cambridge. She applies that background to relocation and looks for ways to lower the carbon footprint of each international move she supports.
Just Relocated does not publish prices. Pricing and the package are agreed individually after a free 10-minute first consultation. The work then starts with a detailed consultation that produces a project plan with timelines, milestones, a schedule and a cost analysis, so the budget is clear before the move gets going.

Deniz works with clients in English and Turkish, and the website has a separate Turkish section for families moving from Turkey. Interpreting at flat viewings is on her service list; since viewings in Zurich are usually held in German, ask in the first call which languages she can cover.
