John Taylor, which is based in Monaco, has just assigned its first master license to John Taylor Switzerland, which is committed to opening branches in main cities including Zurich, Montreux, Lausanne, Lugano, St. Moritz, Lucerne, Basel and Zermatt.

Teresa Astorina, chairman of VIP Real Estate AG, the holding company of the Swiss master license, says, “Our aim is to offer our customers a broader range of destinations in a very competitive niche market but also to accompany them in their overall strategy of sales investment and acquisition. Following the successful opening of John Taylor Geneva, expansion in Switzerland was evident.”

Abdallah Chatila, Director of VIP Real Estate AG, says, “This master license confirms our strategic desire to cover the entire Swiss territory. We guarantee the expansion of the John Taylor brand by opening of branches as soon as year one.”

Daniel Masnaghetti, Managing Director of John Taylor Corporate, says the agreement is primarily a partnership of trust.

The John Taylor branch network has a network of 20 agencies in 11 countries. In France, it is based in Paris, Aix en Provence, Cannes, St Jean Cap Ferrat, St Paul de Vence, St Tropez, Valbonne, Méribel, Courchevel and Megeve.

It also has offices in Monaco, London, Milan, Lake Como, Geneva, Gstaad, Moscow, Doha, Madrid, Berlin, Malta, Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Hamptons, Miami, and Palm Beach.
