How I help you buy

Most Berlin listings are written in German and many are never published.

Filter

Only listings that fit your brief, including partner and off-market flats.

Check

I read the property documents and show you the potential and the pitfalls.

Close

The right offer, the negotiation in German, notaries, lawyers and mortgage consultants until the deal is closed.

Every fee, up front

Buying

For buyers who want a second pair of eyes on a listing.

€ 500

per property, incl. VAT, written report included

Buying one of my listings costs only the commission stated in it, usually 3.57 % incl. VAT, on completion, with no extra fees. Full buyer's agent support (scouting, documents, negotiating, service providers) is priced individually. New builds by Diamona & Harnisch carry no buyer's commission.

Selling and renting out

For owners who want the right buyer or tenant.

3.57 %

incl. VAT, single-family homes, on the final price

The market value estimate is free, always. For land plots, commercial units, parking and multi-family houses the buyer usually pays the commission, unless you want to cover it. Renting out, full package: two net rents + 19 % VAT, due on signing and handover. Temporary rental contracts: an individual fee, by the length of the lease.

New builds, no buyer’s commission

Brand-new apartments by Diamona & Harnisch: prime locations, top quality, zero buyer’s commission.
