The idea behind Immodating was born from a personal experience – the rental of a relatively cheap rental property. It led to a huge amount of demand from candidates. Wouldn’t there be a way to simplify this rental application process? Couldn’t we immediately find the right person? And as tenant, wouldn’t it be pssible to submit the application online rather than on paper? Founded in February 2012 in Corcelles (French Switzerland), Immodating SA provides innovative web services in rental real estate. The co-founders, Jim Hershkowitz and Vincent Pazeller, gave themselves the mission to improve the relationship between agencies and tenants. The company serves several real estate agencies in Switzerland and has helped process more than 3000 rental applications to date.
