After ten years as a software engineer in Switzerland, Jean switched careers and became passionate about real estate, particularly buying and selling properties. For over 20 years, he has been helping buyers obtain favorable mortgages. He therefore has an in-depth knowledge of the Swiss mortgage market!
While assisting his buyer clients, he wanted to go further by also supporting them in the process of obtaining their mortgage. He therefore studied the field of mortgage lending in Switzerland in detail.
In addition to his real estate activities in Switzerland and abroad, he now devotes much of his time to writing articles and guides on the world of mortgages in Switzerland, in order to provide potential buyers with as much detailed information as possible.
I am a father of two children, a volunteer in an association dedicated to multiple sclerosis, and I recharge my batteries by walking in the mountains. I like to make my clients (really) happy, combining the seriousness of finance with a touch of humor—because life serves us a little bit of that every day.
