Answers to Your Key Questions
FAQ: Selling property while living outside Berlin
Can I sell my Berlin apartment without traveling to Berlin?
Yes, it is entirely possible. As a Berlin-based company, we handle all steps for you – from preparation to handover. You will stay informed via email or phone at all times.
How does a property sale in Berlin work if I am not on site?
Even without your physical presence, we organise the entire sales process: marketing, property viewings, communication with potential buyers, and preparation of all documents. The sale is conducted professionally and transparently.
Can I sell the property digitally (e.g., with electronic signatures)?
Many steps – such as viewings, coordination, and marketing – can be done digitally. However, the notarial signature must, according to German law, be made in person or via power of attorney.
What documents do I need for the sale, and can I submit them digitally?
Yes, many documents, such as the land register excerpt, energy certificate, or declaration of division, can be transmitted digitally. We will tell you exactly what is needed in each individual case.

Do I have to attend the notary appointment in Berlin? Are there alternatives?
No, your personal presence is not strictly required. Representation without a power of attorney is possible: the contract is first signed in Berlin and then sent to you by post. You can then have your signature notarised locally. Afterwards, everything is returned to the Berlin notary – allowing the sale to be completed smoothly without being on site.
Who handles property viewings if I’m not in Berlin?
We take care of the complete organisation and execution of on-site viewings – reliably and professionally.
How is it ensured that the buyer is financially capable if I am not on site?
We carefully check the creditworthiness of potential buyers and work with our financing partner. This allows clients to calculate their best financing options and receive optimal advice through our partner.
