My mission is to make home buying in Finland clear and safe for foreigners – helping you avoid costly mistakes, understand the documents, and negotiate a better price.
The idea to this service came in late 2020 after I realized how many people who moved to Finland feel unsure about money related topics. I set up a little poll where the majority of foreigners around me stated they needed assistance namely in buying property.
I moved to Finland some 20 years ago and I was lucky to learn a lot about buying property and the Finnish housing market since I started to invest into real estate in 2019.
That’s why I decided to use my expertise to the benefit of you, foreigner living in Finland, to make you successfully buy your Home and become a Pro in Personal Finance.
Michael Lutzeier
Founder of Personal Finance
I have worked as a CFO in different start-ups and have been passionate about personal finance for many years. Before my CFO roles I have worked in different Controller positions and among others gained official accounting qualifications in Finland and a general banker certificate in Germany. I am particularly interested in real estate investing, but also in the stock market, self-development books & podcasts, and I enjoy playing soccer at FC Germania Helsinki. I moved to Finland 20 years ago and live in Helsinki with my family and our cocker spaniel.
I want to encourage people to reflect about their financial situation and help them to buy a home in Finland and reach personal financial targets.
