A Foundation of Character
Growing up in a farming family in the Netherlands, Kees Jan learned early that nothing should be taken for granted, and that working smart could open doors to a bit of extra luxury. From the start, he valued reliability and personal drive—qualities that remain central to his work. Life and business, for him, demand a balanced approach: enjoying the journey, not just the outcome. Bringing this spacious perspective to property advisory, he delivers candid guidance with a stable, no-nonsense style that clients trust.
Defining Life Moments
The turbulence of the pandemic prompted Kees Jan to reconsider core client priorities—safety, privacy, and stability. He observed that people instinctively sought out places to safeguard their assets, validating his commitment to Switzerland. This period affirmed his belief that a home is not just an address, but a shield in unpredictable times, and deepened his focus on secure, time-tested environments for clients making pivotal decisions.
A Day in Switzerland
Kees Jan’s perfect day begins with a restful start, coffee in hand, as he checks in on his clients and projects. Mobility is central to his routine—his laptop ready wherever the day takes him. The balance of diligent work and sharing a meal with family, especially on Friday afternoons, defines his sense of contentment. This rhythm blends structure with the freedom to enjoy the Swiss landscape, strong community, and the understated pleasures that make the region feel anchored yet invigorating.
Professional Insight and Ethical Grounding
While Kees Jan’s academic path included higher professional education, he credits real-world experience as the truest test of ability. Eighteen years of client advisory work in Switzerland, with forays into markets like Montenegro and Italy, have furnished him with practical wisdom and an ability to cut through complexity. His approach is transparent and results-driven; he believes success comes from clear thinking, honest communication, and carefully selecting trustworthy partners for every project.

Every offering is pre-vetted for quality and delivered with respect for each client’s privacy and ambitions.
Insider Knowledge of Switzerland
Kees Jan is quick to highlight Switzerland’s distinctive licensing system, the enduring value created by scarcity, and the resilience of the Swiss franc. For newcomers, he stresses the benefits of no wealth tax (box 3), attractive financing opportunities, and a disciplined regulatory environment that underpins long-term stability—key factors for confident investments.

When I’m Not Advising Buyers...
