We have been active in the Ruhr region for over 30 years and have an extensive network of qualified buyers and tenants.

How the property sale process in Essen works
From the initial consultation to the notary appointment, we guide you step by step through the entire process of selling your property in Essen.
Initial Consultation & Valuation
A personal introduction, collection of the property details and a market-appropriate assessment of value.
Pricing Strategy
Setting a realistic asking price based on comparable data from the relevant Essen district.
Marketing
Professional exposé, photos and listing on all relevant portals as well as within our own buyer network.
Notary Appointment
Support with viewings, negotiations and the process through to signing at the notary.
Property Valuation and Pricing Strategy
A realistic valuation is the foundation of every successful sale. We combine the recognised comparable value method under ImmoWertV with AI-supported data analysis to determine the market value of your property in Essen accurately – taking into account location, condition and current comparable transactions from the relevant district.
An asking price set too high deters interested parties and extends the marketing period, while a price set too low costs you returns. Our pricing strategy is based on real comparable properties from the relevant Essen location, not on generic average values.
