The company’s desire to develop is strong through the project of eventually opening new real estate agencies on the Swiss market, particularly in Lugano, Ascona, Lake Como, Lake Lucerne, St. Moritz, Zurich and Gstaad. From the outset, he wanted to surround himself with a team of united, loyal professionals who correspond to the values he has given to his company.
Integrity, professionalism, loyalty, availability, placing the customer at the center of concerns are the foundations and roots of Swiss Lake Properties SA. We do not only make luxury, we make the impossible.
