Five years later, this solo initiative has grown into an established company with a digital operating platform, its own training program, one of the largest teams of freelance mortgage specialists in Switzerland, and a lively birthday party.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing an apprenticeship as a drafting technician and serving in the military, Asmir Imeri entered the financial sector in 2007; his first experience with mortgage transactions followed in 2011. Drawing on this experience, he founded <a href=\"https:\/\/soi-ag.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S.O.I. Strategic Opportunity Investment AG<\/a> with the goal of providing independent brokers with structured access to partners in banking, insurance, and pension funds. In recent years, this has evolved, in the founder\u2019s words \u201cfrom \u2018I\u2019 to \u2018WE\u2019\u201d, into a dynamic ecosystem with significant growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2158\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3840 \/ 2158;\" width=\"3840\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokernews.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/S.O.I.Querformat.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Operating system as the digital backbone<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of the system is the Digital Mortgage Operating System (MOS). It enables independent brokers to process their clients\u2019 new loan, refinancing, and specialty financing applications efficiently and in real time, while also providing access to a broad network of financing partners. Intelligent process automation significantly reduces the administrative burden in day-to-day advisory work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
