What the price is based on

A figure is only worth something once you know how it was arrived at.

Online calculators know your postcode. They do not know your stairwell.

Comparable values from your neighbourhoodPrices from real purchase contracts in the area, not the asking prices of current listings.
Condition, layout, floorWith or without a lift, south- or north-facing, front building or side wing, a bathroom from 1994 or from 2024.
Documents and owners' associationDeclaration of division, reserve fund, resolutions, upcoming renovations.
Who is a potential buyerOwner-occupiers and investors value the same flat differently.
Your asking priceBacked by evidence, and you can explain it in conversation.

What the land alone is worth is officially fixed. In Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, the standard land value (Bodenrichtwert) for residential locations is €1,800 per square metre. This is the median value from 55 zones (BORIS Berlin, district median of the residential standard land value zones, reference date 1 January 2026).

The most expensive mistake when selling

Starting too high costs more in the end than starting too low.

Started too high
  • The first weeks, with the most attention, pass without a viewing.
  • The listing ages and slips further down the portals.
  • Every reduction becomes public and invites renegotiation.
  • It often ends below the price that was achievable at the start.
Longer on the market, weaker position.
Started with a strategy
  • The price is backed by evidence and stands up to critical questions.
  • Registered prospective buyers hear about it before it is listed.
  • Viewings take place with prospective buyers whose financing is in place.
  • Negotiations take place without time pressure.
A clear process, a reliable price.

Typical patterns, not guaranteed results: how it goes depends on the property, location and market conditions.

How it works

From the first conversation to the handover of the keys.

01 Initial assessment

We look at the property

On site, not just on paper, with an honest price range.

Have your property valued now
  • An appointment that fits your calendar, evenings too
  • A price range with the calculation, not just a figure
  • Free of charge, no instruction needed

02 Documents

We obtain whatever is missing

Missing documents delay a sale. We get them.

  • Land register (Grundbuch), declaration of division, minutes from recent years
  • Energy performance certificate, a legal requirement in every listing
  • Floor plan and living space calculation under the Wohnflächenverordnung (WoFlV, Living Space Ordinance)

03 Marketing

Registered buyers first, then the portals

Some of our properties change hands without ever being listed publicly. Your property only goes online when you want it to.

  • Discreet if you wish: no listing, no sign, no word to the neighbours
  • Or full reach via the major portals
  • A brochure (the sales document) with proper photos instead of mobile phone snaps

04 Viewings

Only with people who can buy

This spares you time-wasters.

  • Clarified in advance: is the equity in place, and will the bank lend
  • Individual appointments instead of mass viewings
  • Feedback after every appointment, even when it is uncomfortable

05 Completion

Up to the notary appointment and beyond

We support you up to the notary appointment and then organise the handover.

  • Negotiation with arguments backed by evidence
  • Coordination of the draft contract with the notary's office
  • Handover report with meter readings and a list of keys

Initial assessment

You do not need to know the value. That is what we are here for.

We will need the land register extract, the declaration of division and the energy performance certificate later, but not for the initial assessment.

  1. Choose the property type.
  2. Give a rough idea of the living space and timeframe.
  3. Name and how to reach you. Usually a reply within one working day.

Services

We take care of everything between your decision and the notary appointment.

01

Assessment and price

You learn the value of your flat before you choose us.

  • The basis is purchase contracts in your neighbourhood that were actually signed before a notary.
  • Free and without obligation, no instruction needed.
02

Documents

The paperwork stays with us; you only sign where necessary.

  • We obtain the land register extract, declaration of division, minutes and living space calculation.
  • The owner must present the energy performance certificate, as required by law. If it is missing or has expired, we have one issued and cover the costs.
  • If there is no usable floor plan, we have one drawn. That is on us as well.
  • Before every publication, we check the statutory energy ratings in the listing.
03

Photos and brochure

Your flat is shown the way it looks on a good day.

  • Professional photos for the sales document, agreed with you.
  • Aerial photos where they show the property better.
  • 360-degree tour and property video before the first appointment.
  • Home staging for empty rooms.
  • Brochure with figures, property data, location and a separate page for each floor plan.
  • Location map showing the street, without your house number.
  • Map showing the path of the sun over the day.
04

Marketing

You decide who hears about it. Even: nobody.

  • First the registered prospective buyers from our records.
  • A dedicated property page on bbi-immobilien.de, with gallery and floor plans.
  • If you want reach, the major portals. We bear the marketing costs.
  • With strong demand, a bidding process: several prospective buyers submit a bid, all with the same information and the same deadline.
05

Viewings and feedback

Every two weeks you know where you stand.

  • Individual appointments instead of mass viewings.
  • At least every two weeks, a report in text form (by email or on paper) on enquiries, viewings and purchase offers. That is what the instruction says.
06

Negotiation and completion

At the end there is a notary appointment, and you will not go alone.

  • We negotiate and present every purchase offer to you with all its conditions.
  • We coordinate the draft purchase contract with the notary's office and accompany you to the appointment.

Tradespeople and partners, without searching

We work with firms in Berlin and Brandenburg that we know from experience.

  • Small jobs before the sale, without weeks of looking for tradespeople: stairwell lighting, opening up a wall, outdoor areas.
  • One contact person coordinates everything; you do not make five phone calls to five firms.
  • After the sale, the removal is ready to go.
  • Property management, trades, energy and heating technology, architecture, surveyors, kitchen studios, removals and house clearance, financing and insurance.
  • You conclude the contract directly with the firm. If we receive money from a partner, we tell you before the recommendation. You are under no obligation.

What it costs: nothing until the purchase contract

  • No reimbursement for our effort, no out-of-pocket expenses. If no contract is concluded, you owe us nothing for our work.
  • We pay for photos, the energy performance certificate and the floor plan, even if a third party produces them.
  • The commission is only earned once the purchase contract has been notarised.

Rates and term: "What working with us costs".

What is not included

  • A market value report (Verkehrswertgutachten). Our assessment follows the Immobilienwertermittlungsverordnung (ImmoWertV, Real Estate Valuation Ordinance), but it is not an expert report under § 194 BauGB (German Federal Building Code). We can put you in touch.
  • Work on the property: trades, renovation, removals. The referral is free of charge; the firm issues the invoice.

This scope applies to the sale of residential property under a sole agency agreement, meaning only we offer the property. It differs for new-build projects and lettings. Your contract is what counts.

What it costs

We talk about money first, not last.

The equal split principle

When an owner-occupied flat or a single-family house is sold to a consumer, the buyer and seller share the commission. The law has required this since the end of 2020 (§ 656c and § 656d BGB, German Civil Code).

Success-basedThe commission becomes due when the purchase contract is concluded. If no contract is concluded, you incur no costs.
  • Terms stated openly on this page and in writing in the agency agreement, before any signature
  • No upfront costs for valuation, documents or brochure

Frequently asked questions

What owners ask us most often.

Answers as of 18 September 2026

What does it cost to value my property?

Nothing. The initial assessment is free and without obligation.

How long does it take to sell a property in Berlin?

That depends on the property, location, price and market conditions. We will tell you what to expect in your case in the initial consultation.

Can I sell without anyone noticing?

Yes. With discreet marketing, there is no public listing and no sign on the building; we only approach registered prospective buyers.

How much is the agent's commission on a sale?

When selling to a consumer, the equal split under § 656c and § 656d BGB (German Civil Code) applies. Buyer and seller each pay 3.57% including VAT. All terms are set out in the section "What working with us costs".

Which documents do I need to sell?

A current extract from the land register (Grundbuch), the energy performance certificate, the floor plan and the living space calculation. For owner-occupied flats, also the declaration of division (Teilungserklärung) and the minutes of the last three owners' meetings.

Is an energy performance certificate mandatory when selling?

Yes. Under § 87 GModG (Building Modernisation Act), certain energy ratings must already appear in the listing. Otherwise it is an administrative offence that can lead to a fine. We check this before every publication.
