NZZ Online – Molti italiani si trasferiscono a Berlino 

Nel 2009 piu’ di 40’000 neolaureati hanno lasciato l’Italia dopo aver completato I loro studi. I giovani Italiani sono stufi della discrimazione verso le donne, il razzimo,la brutta interazione tra i loro coetanei e la corruzione presente nel loro paese, lasciano l’Italia perché il futuro in Italia spaventa - hanno malinconia di un’Italia che oramai non esiste piu’.

Scelgono Berlino perché li’ il lavoro ha un’altro valore, i salari sono decenti e per procurarsi un buon lavoro non occorre escogitare trucchi poco puliti. Mentre in Italia per trovare un buon posto di lavoro è indispensabile avere i contatti giusti, ci si da anzi piu importanza che la formazione e l’esperienza accumulata.

Berlino è una metropoli che ispira molti Intellettuali, artisti contemporanei, e designers dove è di norma attenersi alle regole. Troviamo inoltre vari musei interessanti tra cui il Museum Island vicino al quale si innalzerà l’ultimo progetto Yoo Berlin di Philippe Starck proprio nel cuore di questa pulsante città Europea.

The conference was highlighted by a diverse list of speakers including Guy Kawasaki of Apple Computer fame; FHA Commissioner Dave Stevens; Ron Peltier of HomeServices of America; elite athlete Robin Benincasa; Adam Singer of TopRank Online Marketing; Scott Murphy of Sears Holding Corp.; Channing Dawson, Kelly Roark, Rich Lacy and Vikki Neil of Scripps Networks; Carter Maslan of Google; Sami Inkinen and Pierre Calzidilla of Trulia; Sara Bonert and Greg Schwartz of Zillow; Jennifer Baumann of DLA PIPER; Dustin Luther of 4realz.net; Randy LeBlanc of TIBCO; Ian Morris of Market Leader; Marc Davison and Brian Borero of 1000Watt Consulting; leadership coach Mike Staver; market game-changer Steve Harney; real estate technology coach Matthew Ferrara; and an impressive line-up of LeadingRE member and industry speakers.

With more than a decade successfully in business, Wetag Consulting has become not only the exclusive affiliate for Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and their luxury component Luxury Portfolio, but also the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s Great Estates for the canton of Ticino, the most southern part of Switzerland. Based on continued hard work, strong business ethics, knowledge of the local, but also world wide luxury real estate market – the company became leader in the luxury real estate market. Showcasing a broad selection of the finest properties available in Ticino and serving an elite clientele of seller and buyers alike – Wetag became number one choice for national and international clients to be chosen as their property specialist. Serving clients coming from almost 70 nations, Wetag understands the globalization of real estate business. Ueli Schnorf states: “You have to be internationally connected, not only to stay on top of what’s going on in the industry, but also to understand your clients’ needs and point of view on properties. The mixture of nationalities we serve reflects also a mixture of different tastes. An American buyer might look for totally different features than a Russian client and to knowing these different interests and also behaviour, we certainly feel comfortable to assist all of our clients. Our membership in elite networks like Christie’s Great Estates and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World also provide us with great global connections and ensure that our seller’s properties get represented in a very exclusive way. With that, we can truly say that we have a global reach what gives us an edge in our local business.”
