Dutch Star Jan Smit Eyes Spanish Escape, Thriving in Real Estate
Dutch singer and television personality Jan Smit is considering a move to Spain, while simultaneously finding success in a new career as a real estate agent in Marbella. The multi-talented entertainer, known for his decades-long career in the Netherlands, says he’s drawn to the more anonymous lifestyle the country offers.
“It’s starting to itch,” Smit said, referring to the desire to relocate. He’s been increasingly drawn to the idea of living in Spain, a sentiment echoed in recent interviews.
Smit’s potential emigration isn’t the only news surrounding the star. He’s also reportedly flourishing in the competitive world of Spanish property sales. “I can sell people anything, and not because I’m famous,” he stated, emphasizing his skills as a realtor in the upscale coastal city. This venture marks a significant career shift for Smit, who has long been a fixture in Dutch entertainment.
According to reports, Smit enjoys the relative anonymity Spain provides. “I can walk down the street here fairly anonymously,” he explained, a contrast to his celebrity status in the Netherlands. He’s seemingly ready to leave Volendam, the Dutch fishing village where he’s long resided, behind.
The move to real estate and potential relocation come as Smit appears to be embracing a new chapter. His success in Marbella demonstrates a versatility that extends beyond his established entertainment career, and highlights the growing trend of celebrities diversifying their portfolios.
