Real Estate Broker or Property Agent? Career Paths in German Real Estate

Anyone considering a career in real estate brokerage in Germany will come across two distinct professions: the real estate broker (Immobilienmakler) and the property agent (Immobilienkaufmann/-frau). Both deal with selling, letting and managing property, but they differ in training, day-to-day duties and how they are paid. The key distinction: training as a property agent is a state-regulated, three-year vocational programme.
