Because real demand determines the price. Broad interest ensures that your property is perceived as particularly desirable. And that is precisely the leverage we often use to achieve prices that are significantly higher than the original estimate. Because the more people want your property, the more likely they are to attempt to outbid each other.

No — and that is a deliberate choice. An open bidding process means that multiple interested parties submit bids at the same time, often without knowing what others are offering. This sounds exciting, but it deters many potential buyers — especially families or first-time buyers who have no experience with the procedure.

Instead, we focus on attractive asking prices and professionally prepare each property. Through home staging, a sales brochure, photos, and tours, we generate strong buyer interest. This leads to high demand and numerous viewings — and in most cases, this results in a bidding situation. But the bidding is guided and only starts when many serious interested parties have already fallen in love with the property.

It depends on the property and the demand — but through targeted preparation and broad marketing, we usually receive inquiries very quickly. Whether it’s an apartment, a single-family home, a semi-detached house, or a terraced house — in most cases we sell properties within 2-4 months.

No, virtual home staging without real-life measures inside the property should only be used in exceptional cases. The photos of the virtually staged property create high expectations among prospective buyers, which may turn into disappointment during the viewing. Whenever possible, we carry out real-life measures and photograph the apartment or house as it actually is.

Yes — even with a like-new property that’s occupied by the owner or rented out, there’s almost always potential for optimization. Of course, we won’t replace all the furniture in this case, and comprehensive renovations aren’t possible. But even small things often have a big effect. For example, we always carry out necessary repairs and maintenance as well as a thorough cleaning. Replacing a few furnishings or decorations usually has a better effect as well.

Our fee is based on the sales price obtained. So we have the same goal: to get as much as possible out of your property. All services such as home staging, professional photos, 360° tours, and the coordination and execution of upgrades and renovations are already included in our brokerage fee. There are no additional hidden costs.

Our focus is clearly on sales. If you would prefer to rent out your property, we can also take care of that — including the sales brochure, tenant screening, and contract processing.

Most real estate agents market properties as they are — with a few photos, a sales brochure, and the promise to “do the best we can with it.” We take things a crucial step further.

Firstplace Immobilien GmbH was founded by people who have bought, renovated, and sold real estate themselves. We know from our own experience how big the difference in the selling price can be if you intentionally prepare the property, instead of simply listing it.

That’s precisely why our work doesn’t begin with the camera, but with the question: How can we increase the value of your property — even before anyone sees it?

This includes:

• Decluttering, renovation, gardening work
• Professional home staging
• A well-thought-out presentation including drone footage, 360° tour, and sales brochure

This isn’t an additional option, but part of our standard service and already included in the commission.
The result: More interested parties, better negotiating opportunities, and sales prices that other brokers can only promise.

Yes, of course. We know that there are still many tasks to be done after the contract has been signed — such as deleting the property from the land register, coordinating with the building manager, preparing handover protocols, carrying out the handover, and final settlements between the seller and buyer. We’ll also support you during this phase and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
