Brockhoff sees renewed momentum in real estate investment

(Essen, 4 September 2023). One month before EXPO REAL, Germany’s largest real estate trade fair, the team at Essen-based advisor Brockhoff is optimistic despite the continued challenging conditions and is bringing a positive outlook to the event. Intensive efforts and active discussions enabled the team to complete significant transactions again this year. Brockhoff currently has an increasing number of transactions under exclusive mandate. The likelihood of completion is high, and some of these deals are scheduled to be notarized before EXPO REAL begins.

Jörg Langensiepen, Head of INVEST at Brockhoff, says: “We see it as our responsibility to keep our network—built more than 30 years ago and made up 77% of long-standing clients—as fully informed as possible about changing market conditions and to advise them accordingly. This strengthens their trust in us and is now helping to bring sellers and investors together again in many cases, because they follow our advice. We are optimistic that completions will increase in the last quarter of this year.”

At the upcoming EXPO REAL, the team is looking forward to constructive dialogue across the real estate industry. It is keen to work together on solutions that strengthen the appeal of real estate investment compared with alternative investment options. “The trade fair brings the industry’s most important players together in one place. We will share our own experience and ideas and also take inspiration from our business partners,” explains Langensiepen.

EXPO REAL, taking place in Munich from 4 to 6 September 2023, promises to be not only a platform for networking and discussion but also a step toward a stronger real estate industry ready to address the challenges and opportunities of the current market.
