How we sold a property
from across the world
Our client had bought this apartment in Schwabing-Freimann years earlier while living abroad — a considered investment in one of Munich's most well-connected residential areas. Life had changed: a new professional posting had taken him further afield, and he needed to sell. The problem was that he was no longer in Germany.
He came to us with one clear requirement: handle everything. He trusted us to manage the full process — photography, viewings, negotiations, documentation, and coordination with the notary — without needing to be present for any of it.
We took on the full mandate. Our team coordinated professional photography of the apartment, compiled all legal documentation — Grundbuchauszug, Teilungserklärung, Hausgeldabrechnungen, energy certificate — and launched the listing across all relevant platforms.
All viewings were arranged and conducted by us. Every query was fielded. Every piece of paperwork was handled. Our client received updates and gave approvals remotely. The transaction moved forward without him needing to set foot in Germany — until one moment.
The buyer turned out to be someone who already knew the building well: a neighbour from within the same complex. He had watched the apartment for some time and had always seen its potential as an investment property. The layout — three bedrooms plus a generously proportioned open living and cooking area — offered something most investors look for: flexibility.
Once he took ownership, he made one focused change. He converted the oversized living area into a fourth bedroom, leaving well enough space for the shared cooking and dining area. The apartment became a four-bedroom property almost overnight.
Our client flew in to sign the notarial deed. He flew out the same day. The transaction was clean, well-prepared, and completed without complication — because every detail had been taken care of in advance.
The new owner now rents the apartment furnished to professionals on project stays in Munich: a high-demand segment, particularly in the Schwabing-Freimann area with its proximity to the city's tech and corporate hub. A smart property made smarter by a single, well-executed change.
