The quality of an estate agent is recognisable to the trained eye and can be assessed by objective standards. Their expertise and experience coupled with the range of services are an expression of their skill. A reputable, good broker does not shy away from being evaluated by their clients and evidences their own competencies in a comprehensible, transparent, and understandable way.
A good estate agent does not hide behind excuses and does not make promises that are impossible to keep. Instead, they first seek dialogue with owners and interested parties alike. In doing so, they get an idea of everyone’s plans and already address important details. You can ask a good estate agent the questions that are important to you: They have the right answers. A reliable estate agent also remains accessible to their clients, for whom the sale and purchase of a property is equally an important matter involving a lot of money after all.
We are a member of the BVFI (Federal Association for the Real Estate Industry) and the IVD (Real Estate Association of Germany). Membership of these associations is an indication of a serious, competent real estate agent, as admission is by professional examinations only. The broker has proven that they have the necessary professional and technical knowledge, and they also undergo regular further training.
We focus specifically on Southern Germany as well as neighbouring areas such as Austria and Italy. This is a clear specialisation that has allowed us to build up extensive knowledge in these real estate markets and regions. A specialised real estate agent knows the requirements of their market and region in order to use this professional expertise to the advantage of prospective buyers and owners alike.
Real estate agents do not work alone, but ideally maintain a high-quality, wide-ranging network of other service providers or, for example, banks and financing advisors. The quality of the network is an indication of the quality of the broker because experts in their respective fields usually work alongside other experts, and not with those whose association could be negative for themselves.
Experienced brokers who consistently undergo further training are able to offer a correspondingly large number of services in order to offer a one-stop service to their clients. A broad range of services is another objectively measurable indication of the quality of the broker, as are their qualifications and their perceived continuous professional development. It helps potential clients in their decision-making and the broker in the upcoming property transaction.
Generating a property profile is a skill of its own. Property profiles must be appealing, informative, clearly laid out and add value. An experienced real estate agent with knowledge of the regional market understands the requirement of a property profile is to attract prospective buyers in the respective country - and it generates visibility of the property while remaining authentic.
