12 Best Real Estate Agents in Munich

Most people in Munich rent, and property prices are among the highest in Germany. Agents, known as Makler, range from family firms with several district offices to sales-only agencies and specialists in furnished lets for newcomers. When an apartment or house is sold to a private buyer, the commission is usually split between buyer and seller, and in rentals whoever hires the agent pays, normally the landlord.

This guide lists agents whose own websites describe their services in Munich. For each one we note what they handle, the districts they know and whether their website is available in English.

How to choose Real Estate Agents in Munich

  1. Pick an agent who knows the areaPrices in Munich vary sharply from street to street. An agent with recent sales in your district can justify an asking price with real comparables.
  2. Understand the commission rulesFor apartments and single-family homes sold to consumers, the buyer pays at most half of the commission. In rentals the party that hires the agent pays, so tenants pay nothing for listings the landlord commissioned.
  3. Ask how the price will be setAsk whether the agent uses a written valuation, a fixed asking price or a bidding procedure, and how offers will be reported to you.
  4. Read the contract termsCheck the contract length, whether it is exclusive, what marketing is included and how you can cancel if the sale or letting does not progress.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an estate agent cost in Munich?

It varies. Sales commission is a percentage of the price and can be negotiated, but for apartments and single-family homes sold to consumers it is split equally between buyer and seller. For rentals, the party that hires the agent pays, up to a legal maximum of two months' net rent plus VAT.

Do I need an agent to rent an apartment in Munich?

No, but many good flats are let through agents, and if the landlord hired the agent you pay no commission. Landlords usually ask for ID, a SCHUFA credit report, recent payslips and a letter from your previous landlord confirming that rent was paid, so have these ready before viewings.

What documents do I need to sell a property in Munich?

You will need an energy certificate, a recent land register extract and floor plans. For an apartment, add the declaration of division, recent owners' meeting minutes and the service charge statements. The sale itself is completed in front of a notary, who drafts the purchase contract.
