Selling at a clear price.

First we get to know the property and clarify your goals: price, timing, discretion. You receive a reasoned price assessment and an offer with a clearly stated commission. Then come the exposé, marketing on the portals or a direct approach to selected buyers, and viewings with feedback to you. Finally we check the buyers, coordinate the purchase agreement with the notary, accompany you to the notary appointment and hand over the property with a written protocol.

Nothing. The price assessment is free of charge and non-binding. You receive it personally from the managing directors, as a rule within one working day.

We agree on the commission in writing before marketing starts. When an apartment or a single-family house is sold to a consumer, the following applies: if both buyer and seller pay commission, they pay the same amount (§ 656c BGB). If the buyer is to take over the seller’s commission, it can be at most half (§ 656d BGB). For other properties such as apartment buildings, commercial property or land, the split is freely negotiable.

That depends mainly on price, location and how complete the documents are. With a price in line with the market and complete documents, buyers are found much faster. After the notary appointment it usually takes a few more weeks until the handover, while the purchase price and the land register are settled.

For every property a current extract from the land register (Grundbuch), the cadastral map, floor plans with a calculation of the floor area and the energy performance certificate (Energieausweis). For apartments, add the declaration of division (Teilungserklärung), minutes of the owners’ meetings, the budget (Wirtschaftsplan) and the service charge statement (Hausgeldabrechnung); for let properties, tenancy agreements and the rent roll. Whatever is missing, we obtain. Printable checklist (German)

Yes, in most cases. The energy performance certificate (Energieausweis) must be shown to prospective buyers at the latest at the viewing, and if one exists, its key figures belong in the listing (§ 80 Abs. 4, § 87 GModG, formerly GEG). Exceptions apply, for example, to listed buildings. If the certificate is missing, we arrange it.

For privately held property, a gain can be taxable if less than ten years have passed between purchase and sale (§ 23 EStG, often called speculation tax, Spekulationssteuer). As a rule, this does not apply to property you lived in yourself in the year of sale and the two previous years. Please clarify this with your tax advisor before the sale; we do not provide tax advice.

Yes. We agree on viewings with you, and we set the handover date in the purchase agreement so that it fits your move.
