The French Nest, A ConnectCrédit brand.
The French Nest is part of ConnectCrédit — offering more than mortgage brokerage, we provide tailored guidance and financing solutions for every stage of your property journey in France.
Our Story & Missions
The French Nest was born within ConnectCrédit, founded by Jonathan Fitoussi and Damien Raquidel with a clear purpose: to make real estate financing in France transparent and efficient.
Over the years, ConnectCrédit has guided thousands of clients through the complexities of the French banking system — securing the right loan structures, rates, and insurance.
When Jérémy Cohen joined the team, he quickly identified a gap in the market.
International clients — often with strong financial profiles — were facing refusals simply because they lived abroad, earned income in foreign currencies, or were subject to regulations such as FATCA for U.S. citizens.
To address this, Jérémy built The French Nest: a dedicated branch focused on helping non-residents, expatriates, and international professionals access French property financing with confidence.
Our mission is simple:
to simplify, secure, and optimize every step of the property journey in France — from mortgage strategy to insurance, taxation, and beyond.
Why Choose a Mortgage Broker in France
France’s banking landscape is unique — formal, document-heavy, and often opaque for non-residents.
Getting a mortgage as an international buyer requires more than comparison tools or online applications. It requires access.
At The French Nest, that access was built by hand.
Through years of groundwork, Jérémy Cohen established trusted relationships with key decision-makers inside French banks — the rare teams who understand international clients and complex income structures.
That’s what sets us apart from standard brokers.
Choosing The French Nest means choosing a mortgage broker in France who understands both worlds — how French banks think, and how international clients operate.
Our difference:
Direct banking network:
We work with senior underwriters and cross-border lending teams, not just retail advisors.
Expertise through experience:
Every financing solution we propose is based on real, tested cases — not theory.
Transparency at every step:
We explain the French process clearly, anticipate obstacles, and prepare complete, bank-ready applications.
Beyond approval:
We ensure your loan, insurance, and structure align with your long-term financial goals.
Our Approach
At The French Nest, we believe precision matters more than volume.
Our small, dedicated team focuses on customized mortgage strategies, clear communication, and full involvement from first call to final signature.
We value relationships, not transactions — each client receives direct access to their broker, with no outsourcing or call centers.
It’s the difference between being processed and being guided.
“Work precisely. Communicate clearly. Stay involved until completion.”
That’s our way of working — always.
