Discretion

Selling discreetly – without a public shop window

On request, we market investment properties entirely without a public listing: we present your property specifically to vetted investors from our network. This protects existing tenancies and your confidentiality.

Managed, personal buyer outreach also often leads to a better result than a widely circulated listing – because only serious, vetted prospective buyers are introduced to your property.

Your situation

Are you selling in one of these situations?

Private owners & investors

You are selling an income-producing property and want clear, hassle-free support – we take care of valuation, documentation and marketing for you. A single property is just as welcome with us as a large portfolio.

Family offices & institutional investors

We support asset-management structures and institutional investors in sales and portfolio reallocation – discreetly, in a structured manner and with transaction certainty.

Portfolio holders & reallocation

Whether a single property or several properties from your holdings: we support the sale and reallocation – including mixed-use investment properties.

Community of heirs

Several heirs with differing ideas? We support the sale impartially – with a transparent valuation as a common basis.

What is your investment property worth?

The value of an investment property is determined by the sustainably achievable rental income, the multiplier – the multiple of the annual rent a buyer pays –, the location and the condition – not by a flat price per square metre. We determine it on the basis of your leases and actual comparable transactions in the Ruhr region. Personal, confidential and free of charge for you. For an initial assessment, your rent roll and a few key details about the property are all we need.
Our services

How we bring your investment property to sale

Property analysis

We examine the condition, year of construction, floor areas and state of maintenance of your investment property and position it within the market environment.

Lease analysis

We analyse leases, tenant structure and income situation – the basis for a robust valuation of residential and commercial investment properties.

Location analysis

Location, micro-location and development in the Ruhr region are factored into the valuation and marketing strategy.

Comparable transactions

We benchmark your property against actual comparable transactions – rather than theoretical guide 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 without a public listing or publicly – we choose the approach that suits your property and your situation.
