    Off-market real estate – access to properties that are never listed

    A considerable share of high-value real estate transactions in Germany happens away from the portals. Owners of apartment buildings, hotels or villas do not want public marketing – for reasons of discretion, out of consideration for tenants and employees, or because they only want to speak to vetted buyers. Kowalski's Immobilien brokers exactly these properties: confidentially, without a listing, directly between owner and qualified investor.

    What is off-market real estate?

    Off-market properties never appear on ImmoScout, Immowelt or in newspaper advertisements. They are offered exclusively through a personal network – usually to a small number of pre-qualified buyers. For sellers this means no viewing tourists, no price negotiations in public, no knowledge among tenants or competitors. For buyers it means less competition, more realistic prices and properties that will never reach the open market.

    For sellers – discreetly at the best possible price

    You own an apartment building, a hotel, a mixed-use building or a villa and want to sell without anyone noticing? This is how we work:

    • Confidential initial valuation based on your documents, without any visible activity on site
    • Approach to three to ten matching buyers from our vetted circle of investors – under NDA
    • Viewings only with serious buyers whose funding has been verified
    • Negotiation, notary preparation and closing from a single source
    • No listings, no brochures in circulation, no traces on the internet

    For buyers – register an acquisition profile

    Investors, family offices and institutional buyers can register a search profile with us. We match it continuously against our off-market portfolio and only get in touch when a property genuinely fits. Typical criteria: volume from EUR 1 million, net yield from 4.5%, asset classes apartment building, mixed-use building, hotel, care property, commercial park.

    Frequently asked questions about off-market real estate

    Not through portals, but through agents with their own network. Register a search profile with us and we will get in touch as soon as a suitable property is available.

    Not automatically. The advantage lies in less competition and more realistic negotiations, not in a discount.

    In our experience two to six months from the first conversation to the notary appointment, depending on the property and the documentation.

    Above all apartment buildings, mixed residential and commercial buildings, hotels, care homes, commercial parks and villas from around EUR 1 million.

    The commission is agreed individually in the initial conversation and depends on the property and the workload involved.
