Our expertise in apartment building sales
Data, Reach, and a Team of Our Own
Seasoned owner or first-time seller through inheritance — the essentials are the same: good data, discretion, the right buyer. We've spent twenty years building the tools to provide all three.
-
Valuation Grounded in Data and Experience
-
The valuation rests on our own transaction data and two decades in Berlin's investment property market. Relevant factors are weighed carefully, producing a sound basis for your decision. Daily client conversations keep us close to where the market actually sits.
-
An International Buyer Network, Quietly Maintained
-
Family offices, institutional investors, private buy-and-hold owners — our network spans all three, internationally. From more than 1,200 active search profiles, we identify the few who fit your building and approach them directly. The process stays discreet, in Berlin and beyond.
-
One Team, Start to Finish
-
A small, experienced team handles the sale from first valuation through to transfer of ownership. You have one direct line — available whenever you need it.
-
Experience Across Every Market Phase
-
Twenty years of selling investment properties in Berlin — through rising markets, interest rate turns, and regulatory change. That experience matters most when the sale is a one-off, perhaps following an inheritance.
What's taken off your plate as a seller
What's Involved in a Berlin Apartment Building Sale
We cover every element involved in selling an apartment building in Berlin. Which of them you need, and to what depth, is something we work out together.
- Valuation with Method and Experience
A reliable valuation starts with the details: the building's condition, its economics, the specifics of its location. We cross-check against our own completed sales and a substantial database of Berlin transactions — the kind of pricing serious buyers take seriously.
- Documentation and Data Room
Documents are gathered, researched, and organized. A password-protected data room holds them ready for due diligence — available to prospects, lawyers, notaries, and banks as required.
- Buyer Profiling
Which buyers fit your building — family offices, institutions, private buy-and-hold owners, or municipal housing companies? We work through our database of 1,200-plus active search profiles in phases, approaching the right candidates directly.
- Off-Market, Within Our Network
Off-market means reaching qualified buyers directly. An anonymized teaser on our website gives nothing away about the building itself but draws interest from adjacent buyer groups. Discretion of this kind spares the tenants and still brings the right eyes to the property.
- Due Diligence Support
We take an active role through the buyer's due diligence, coordinating with lawyers, tax advisors, and banks on both sides. Open questions get answered early, before they turn into hurdles.
- Contract and Closing
The purchase contract is prepared with the notary, and open points are resolved in good time. We stay involved through borough clearance, payment due date, and transfer of ownership — right through to handover.

Trustworthy, transparent and fair advice
99% Customer Recommendation Rate
"Mr Guthmann, I am very happy to give the desired rating. You and your team have served us extremely well. In the sale of our property in Berlin, you have supported us in a trusting manner from the very beginning. I know that we were not easy clients, but at no time did you put pressure on us. My siblings, with whom I owned the property, confirm my opinion. I will advertise for you here, in Tel Aviv, wherever I can! All the best to you."
"All the employees involved were competent, pleasant to deal with and responded to inquiries immediately. I appreciate Ms. Guthmann's competence as an architect, the buildings mean something to her. I would rely on her taste and expertise."
"We mainly negotiated with Ms. Almut Guthmann. We were very, very satisfied with all the actions and consultations, the way the sale was handled, the communication with each other, the helpfulness with tricky questions. We can warmly recommend Guthmann Estate GmbH."
"Thank you for the excellent support Mr. Guthmann was recommended to us by acquaintances who sold an apartment building in Berlin years ago. With us too, Mr. Guthmann, as we say in Swabia, saved the day. Unfortunately, we didn't go to Guthmann's right away, which is why a sale didn't work out at first and two other brokers turned out to be imposters. Mr. Guthmann advised us to wait with the sale, which the family didn't understand at first. After some time, Mr. Guthmann went into the sale discreetly and with the greatest expertise and calm. The success was almost unbelievable for us. Thank you very much!"
"We have repeatedly sought advice from Guthmann Immobilien in recent years. In retrospect, Mr. Guthmann's forecasts have always proven to be accurate, both economically and politically. As a family that owns an apartment building, we have worked with Mr. Guthmann for years towards the best time to sell and have now completed the sale safely and to our greatest satisfaction. From our point of view, there is no better recommendation for Berlin. Thank you very much."
