Why Germany
Why the German market is hard for foreigners to reach
The law is not the obstacle — foreigners may buy in Germany without restriction. The obstacle is access.
Everything is in German
Listings, declarations of division and contracts are all in German — and densely legal.
A notary is mandatory
Every purchase must be notarised. Without representation, that means a trip to Germany.
Banks are cautious
Non-residents need substantially more equity, and many banks decline outright.
Nobody handles the aftermath
Tenants, service charges, annual statements — hard to manage from abroad.
What I handle for you
One point of contact for the whole journey — from selection to management.
Access to projects
New-build and investment properties in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg and beyond.
Inspection on the ground
I view properties in person and tell you honestly which ones I'd advise against.
Remote purchase
Video viewings, power of attorney, notary by representation — you never have to travel.
After the purchase
Letting, property management and a contact on the ground — long term if you want it.

Frequently asked questions
What international buyers ask first.
Can foreigners buy property in Germany?＋
Yes, without restriction — regardless of nationality or residence. There is no approval requirement and no surcharge for foreign buyers.
Does buying get me a residence permit?＋
No. Germany has no “golden visa”. Buying property gives you neither a visa nor a residence permit, regardless of price. I explain the routes that do exist on the Residence page.
Do I have to travel to Germany to buy?＋
No. With a notarised power of attorney certified abroad, someone you trust can represent you at the notary. Viewings happen by video.
