Do you support international buyers and expats?
Absolutely. MorgenStreet specializes in helping international clients and expats navigate the German property market, including legal, tax, and financing aspects.
How long does the buying process usually take?
Once you’ve found the right property, the buying process in Germany can take 6–12 weeks, depending on financing, due diligence, and notary scheduling.
What documents do I need to buy a property in Germany?
Typically, you will need proof of identity, proof of funds or mortgage pre-approval, and in some cases additional financial documentation. We guide you step by step through the paperwork.
Can you help me find properties that aren’t listed online?
Yes. Through our network and off-market contacts, we often source exclusive properties that are not publicly advertised. This gives you access to opportunities most buyers never see.
Do I have to pay a commission as a buyer?
In Germany, buyers generally do not pay the full agent commission. The cost is usually shared between seller and buyer, depending on the agreement. MorgenStreet makes sure you understand all costs upfront before you commit.
What’s the average time to sell a house?
On average, properties marketed through MorgenStreet sell within 2 to 6 months, depending on location, price point, and market conditions. Homes that are properly staged and priced in line with market value tend to move faster. We provide you with regular updates and market feedback throughout the process, so you always know where things stand.
What is your realtor sale commission?
Our commission is performance-based and transparent. For residential sales, we typically charge a percentage of the final purchase price, aligned with market standards in Germany. The exact rate will be outlined in your brokerage agreement before we start. There are no hidden fees — you only pay once your property is successfully sold.
Which type of properties do you take for promoting?
We specialize in premium residential properties — single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums — typically starting from €500,000+. Properties should meet our quality standards and align with the expectations of our buyer network. During our initial consultation, we’ll assess if your property is the right fit for our curated portfolio.
