Who writes this list?
This list is written by Rudat AG, itself an estate agent with its office in Baar (canton of Zug), 41 minutes from Horw by train. We say so first, so that you know it while you read.
Fixed rules therefore apply. We state only what the offices publish on their own websites or what is recorded in the Swiss commercial register. We do not rate anyone and we draw up no ranking. The order is alphabetical; Rudat AG has no office in Horw and therefore does not appear in the table. Documented corrections are adopted: write to info@rudatestates.ch. The descriptions paraphrase the offices’ own German-language websites; the original wording is quoted in the German version of this list (in German).

What is particular about selling in Horw?
The sale contract for a property in Horw is executed as a notarised deed (öffentliche Beurkundung) by a Lucerne notary of your choice; only Lucerne notaries may notarise rights to land in the canton of Lucerne (§ 3 para. 2 Notarisation Act, SRL 255). The entry is made by the land registry (Grundbuchamt) Luzern Ost, Kriens office, Meisterstrasse 4. Property gains tax (Grundstückgewinnsteuer) is calculated at 4.2 units throughout the canton (§ 23 GGStG) and assessed by the municipality (§ 25 GGStG).
Horw had 15,939 residents at the end of 2025, 15.6 % more than in 2015 (LUSTAT). Of its 8,061 dwellings, 5,357 are in apartment buildings and 1,018 in detached houses; on 1 June 2026 there were 23 vacant dwellings, 0.29 % of the stock, against a cantonal average of 0.70 %. In 2026 the municipality and the canton together levy 2.85 tax units (1.40 and 1.45) as their municipal tax multiplier (Steuerfuss), or 3.10 with Catholic or Reformed church tax.
The municipality comprises the village, Winkel and the area around the railway station and the university with the postcode 6048, Kastanienbaum with 6047 and St. Niklausen with 6005, as well as the districts of Ennethorw and Langensand. Its neighbours are the city of Lucerne, Kriens and Hergiswil NW.

How do you choose the right agent in Horw?
Speak to two or three offices and ask all of them the same questions. How is the price arrived at? Who looks after you personally? Which sales in Horw are documented? What does the fee include? Of the 7 offices, one publishes its fee: Konro Immo states a success-based commission of between 1 % and 2 % of the sale price achieved for flats and detached houses. The other six state no rate and quote per property. The agent’s commission is earned only once the sale contract is concluded as a result of the agent’s referral or mediation (Art. 413 para. 1 CO).
Eight questions for the first meeting are set out in the comparison of estate agents in the canton of Zug (in German); they apply equally in Horw. The steps from valuation to notarisation are described in how a sale works (in German), and you can work out tax and proceeds in advance with our calculators (in German).
How does Rudat AG work in Central Switzerland?
Rudat AG has its office at Neuhofstrasse 5A in Baar (canton of Zug); owner Conrad Rudat personally handles sales in Horw, from the valuation to notarisation by the notary of your choice. We value with the IAZI/CIFI models that Swiss banks also use, so your property is valued as it would be by a bank. We market with our own photography, drone footage, 360° tour and sales documentation.
Evidence from the region:

What this means for your sale
Take the table as a starting point, not as a recommendation. Hold two or three first meetings with the same documents and ask for the valuation in writing, with method and price range.
A first assessment of your property is available from us free of charge and without obligation: use the form at the end of this page or Free property valuation.
This list does not replace legal advice. The information and contracts of the respective offices are decisive.
