Market value vs. sales price: what's the difference?

Before a property can be sold, you need to find out what its financial value is. This is where the market value comes into play: various methods can be used to determine the objective value of a property. The market value thus forms the basis for the selling price of a property and is based on the price that can be achieved in the ordinary course of business at the time of the determination, taking into account all relevant factors such as location, condition and building materials used. This value is determined without taking into account personal or unusual circumstances and takes into account legal circumstances and actual characteristics. In simple terms, the market value represents the most likely selling price.

Broker commission: Reform 2020

In May 2020, the Federal Cabinet finally discussed the reform of estate agent commission - since then, sellers and buyers have shared the costs of the estate agent when buying a property. This law rejects the so-called ordering principle. In particular, the law makes the division of the estate agent's commission between the buyer and seller of a property, which has not been uniformly regulated in Germany to date, fairer. In the following, we explain exactly what changes the reform to commission entails and why it now pays off more than ever to commission a real estate agent.

Sustainability & ESG in real estate: What is behind the trend?

The awareness surrounding environmentally friendly construction and social responsibility in the real estate sector is growing steadily. Sustainability is playing an increasingly vital role in property markets, heavily influencing private owners, investors, developers, and real estate brokerages alike. The driving factors behind this shift are clear: rising energy costs, statutory climate protection goals, and evolving expectations from buyers, tenants, and investors. Consequently, the industry is increasingly aligning itself with ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) to ensure properties are eco-friendly, socially responsible, and economically resilient.
