In order to market your property in the best possible way, we cooperate with the well-known real estate portals Immobilienscout24, Immowelt and Immonet, which now cover 95% of the search market. In certain cases, we also advertise in the classical way, in the local print media. From the date of the initial contact via email or telephone, up to the date arranged for inspection of your property, we try to obtain a comprehensive picture of the interested parties that we will transmit by handing over to you all the relevant documents (self-declaration form, salary statements, credit check obtained by the Schufa and copy of the ID Card, if necessary also a declaration of the previous landlord). Thus you can be certain that we will only give you information about prospective tenants who would be 100% suitable for your property.

We will take care of the complete procedures regarding drafting and implementation of the contract. As a rule, we rely on the standard rental contract template of “Haus- und Grund”. Features of your property, individual house and garage regulations, any special arrangements, all forms of attachments: we are flexible with regard to drafting the contract and we will be glad to advise you about the legal details.

Property handover, inspection and other services

We offer to take care of the inspection and handover of your apartment. For this purpose, we create a detailed inspection/handover protocol, so that both parties can be sure about the current state of the property. We can coordinate all necessary craftsmen services and we will recommend highly skilled workmen for all types of requirements, if necessary. We can take care of formalities such as cancellations and registrations (for example from service providers). We offer to work as intermediaries with your property management and deliver meter readings. We can organize the changing of doorbell and mailbox labels.

We will also be glad to take care of the annual service charge statements relating to the tenancy, and to act as intermediaries between you and your tenants. Rental management is then charged separately, either according to time spent or for a monthly/annual flat rate. Here we adapt our service exactly to your individual requirements.

The remuneration of real estate agents according to the so-called ”customer principle” (the ordering party will bear the costs) is legally in force since June 1st 2015. The owner and/or the contracting party (for example the prospective tenant) will bear our brokerage fees. By hiring and renting/leasing of a real state object, the owner/prospective tenant is commissionable towards us. About these recent statutory regulations as well as about the so-called “rental cap”, we will be happy to inform you.
