Real Estate Investment

Purchasing and selling real estate are often highly complex and sensitive endeavors. This applies in particular to real estate portfolios, exceptional or large properties. Apart from the purchase price, strategic and tactical aspects play a prominent role in such transactions.

In many cases, real estate has untapped value-added potential. However, buyers rarely use this potential and sellers hardly ever use it at all, as the focus is frequently on transaction speed. In addition, the traditional marketing channel via real estate agents usually doesn’t offer any incentives for this purpose. As a result, real estate agents don’t have the necessary skills and structures to identify value creation potential in a targeted manner. This applies all the more to complex transaction processes such as international bidding procedures.

Optimal structuring and early assessment of opportunities and risks are the basis for complex transaction processes. Only a clear definition of strategy, path and goals leads to a successful real estate transaction.

As market experts in bidding procedures for commercial real estate and major projects, we specialize in complex real estate transactions. We support and advise you in all transaction phases until successful completion.

Our path to a solution

We examine your real estate project or your planned investment comprehensively and in detail. We review and question all assumptions in order to provide you with a sound basis for decision-making. Taking into account the current and foreseeable market conditions, we identify and define opportunities for optimization and value enhancement. With our many years of experience, we leverage existing potential and find the best route for the purchase or sell of the real estate.

Real estate transaction processes require a high degree of trust. We are at your side during every phase of the transaction. We provide support for you in the negotiation of the notarial purchase contract and support you beyond that. We coordinate legal advisors, notaries and financing banks. In the post-closing phase, we methodically and diligently work through any conditions precedent following the transaction.

When bringing a property to market, we develop an individual and tailor-made marketing strategy for each property and each client. We make full use of all opportunities to optimize value. This allows our clients and us to ensure a purely performance-related and transparent remuneration model in both your and our interest. Usually our fees are not a share of the sales proceeds, as is customary in the market. Instead, you only pay for the services and a share of the added value provided by us.
