Franchisee interview after their first year: discover the secrets of their success

A year ago, Yannick Gobert was looking for a fresh start.

Not simply for the sake of a change.

Out of conviction.

Having been franchisees of another estate agency for several years, Yannick and his wife Sylvie decided to turn the page and start a new chapter by joining the Swixim International franchise.

Since 1 July 2025, they have been running their agency in Ribeauvillé on the Alsace Wine Route, with a team of six agents, and are preparing to open a Swixim openStore® open seven days a week in Colmar.

One year on, here’s what the figures show.

→ Three times as many listings as with their former franchisor!

→ 90–95 per cent exclusive listings thanks to the Swixim Mandat Garanties®

→ 60 per cent of contractual targets achieved in just six months of 2026

→ Five new agents already recruited to a rapidly growing team

What, according to Yannick, has made all the difference?

Not a single factor, but a unique combination on the market:

“The Swiss brand, the Mandat Garanties®, the support from the network, Swixim’s international reach, the arrival of new sales agents… All of this together has enabled us to strategically realign our entire sales approach, leading to a far better result.” — Yannick Gobert, Swixim International franchisee

What strikes us about this testimonial isn’t just the performance.

It’s the conviction.

“We believe in the Mandat Garanties®. We really do believe in it wholeheartedly. And that’s why we’re now securing exclusive rights so easily” — Yannick Gobert, Swixim International franchisee

A franchisee who believes in their business model is a franchisee who performs well.

That’s exactly the kind of person we’re looking for at Swixim International.
