Sell discreetly – without a public shop window
On request, we market investment properties without any public listing at all: we present your property specifically to vetted investors from our network. This protects existing tenancies and your confidentiality.
A managed, personal approach to buyers also often leads to a better result than a widely circulated listing – because only serious, vetted prospects are introduced to your property.

What is your apartment building worth?
How we bring your apartment building to sale
Property analysis
We examine the condition, year of construction, floor areas and state of maintenance of your apartment building and position the property within its market environment.
Lease analysis
We analyse lease agreements, tenant structure and income situation – the basis for a robust valuation of income properties and mixed-use buildings.
Location analysis
Location, micro-location and developments in the Ruhr region are factored into the valuation and marketing strategy.
Comparable transactions
We benchmark your property against completed comparable deals – rather than theoretical guideline values.
Buyer demand
Through our network, we know which investors are currently looking for investment properties in the Ruhr region.
Realistic price range
You receive a transparent price range – as the basis for marketing without an inflated asking price.
Marketing strategy
Whether discreetly off-market or publicly advertised – we choose the approach that suits your property and your situation.
Which investment property are you selling?
Apartment building
Purely residential property
The classic apartment building with several residential units – sought after as an investment by private and institutional investors alike. We assess the income situation, tenant structure and state of modernisation.
Income property
Income-oriented investment
A residential building held as an investment, whose value is derived from the sustainably achievable rental income. We benchmark the multiplier and yield against actual purchase prices achieved for comparable properties.
Mixed-use building
Mixed use
Residential and commercial space under one roof. Here we examine the terms, indexation and options of the commercial leases; they often determine the value more than the flats above. In doing so, we combine experience in residential and commercial marketing.
