Your local buyers
Why property owners in Berlin choose to sell to us
Die Rosenbaum Group ist ein inhabergeführtes Familienunternehmen mit Investitionsschwerpunkt in Mitteldeutschland. Wir kaufen auf eigene Rechnung und entscheiden selbst. Das verändert die Art, wie ein Verkauf abläuft.
Transaction security
No financing clause, no committees, short decision-making processes. What we promise, we will also notarise – with no renegotiation just before the notary appointment.
Quick payment
Thanks to our financing structure, we pay out quickly and independently of lengthy decision-making processes. Following notarisation, payment of the purchase price typically takes around four weeks.
Best price without an estate agent
As there's usually no estate agent involved, we can generally offer a bit more. And we only promise what we can deliver.

Acquisition profile
What we buy in Berlin
Wir kaufen auf eigene Rechnung, nicht als Makler: kein Vermittlungsauftrag, kein Exposé, keine Käufersuche. Passt Ihr Objekt in eines dieser Raster, erhalten Sie von uns eine konkrete Kaufpreisindikation. Alle Kriterien im Überblick finden Sie in unserem Acquisition profile.
Condition? Not a disqualifying factor for us
You do not need to renovate, declutter, or clarify anything before the sale. We factor in maintenance backlogs, vacancies, and open legal issues from the outset.
- Maintenance backlog and outdated building fabric
- Partial vacancy or complete vacancy
- Suboptimal occupancy rate, rent arrears
- Inheritance communities and co-ownership shares
- Complex or unclear legal situation
- Listed Gründerzeit property
Districts in Berlin where we can buy apartment buildings
Berlin ist unser Unternehmenssitz. Unser Ankaufsinteresse gilt allen Bezirken. Die Quartiere unterscheiden sich stark in Baualter, Mieterstruktur und rechtlichem Rahmen – deshalb kurz, worauf wir jeweils schauen.
Inner-city Gründerzeit districts
The focus is on older residential areas within and on the edge of the S-Bahn ring: turn-of-the-century apartment buildings with established tenant communities, often with deferred maintenance or unused attic space. In many of these locations, social preservation statutes and conversion restrictions apply – their requirements are familiar to us from our daily practice.
Large housing estates and post-war stock
We also purchase post-war residential complexes and industrially built estates. The key factors are the occupancy rate, lease structure, and maintenance backlog – not the year of construction. We examine individual stairwells as well as larger units and portfolios.
Circumferences and locations
In the outer districts, the focus is more frequently on smaller apartment buildings, two-family homes with potential for expansion, properties from inherited joint ownerships, and plots of land with potential for infill development.
Berlin surroundings
Beyond the city limits, we purchase tenanted apartment blocks and smaller residential complexes in Berlin's commuter belt. You can find all other cities in our overview of the Purchasing regions.
Is your district not listed? This is not an exclusion criterion – we inspect every apartment building in Berlin and its surrounding areas. Have the item inspected without obligation
Sales occasions
Typical situations where we help
Community of heirs
Multiple owners, different interests: a direct sale quickly creates clarity and a clean settlement. More on this: Sell inherited property.
Backlog of renovations
Roof, pipework, facade – we factor in the maintenance backlog instead of leaving you to deal with it alone.
Renting is becoming a burden
Management, tenant changes, tradesmen: When a property causes more work than joy, an orderly exit makes sense.
Running loan
As a buyer with strong creditworthiness, we can often take over loans – this often allows you to avoid an early repayment penalty.
Overseas owner
Do you live far away? We'll handle viewings, coordination, and notary arrangements on-site in Berlin.
Discreet sale
No exposé, no portals, no viewing groups. Just one buyer – and peace for your tenants.
From viewing to notary appointment
Wir kaufen auf eigene Rechnung und entscheiden selbst – ohne lange Gremienwege und ohne Bankenvorbehalt. Vom ersten Objektangebot bis zur Beurkundung vergehen deshalb in der Regel rund sechs Wochen; darin enthalten sind bereits die zwei Wochen gesetzlicher Prüffrist ab Versand des Kaufvertragsentwurfs. Danach dauert es noch einmal rund vier Wochen bis zur Kaufpreiszahlung.

Market environment
The Berlin property market
Berlin, with its approximately 3.8 million inhabitants, is Germany's largest city and, at the same time, the seat of the Rosenbaum Group. Administration, science, the healthcare industry, tourism, and an exceptionally broad startup and service sector ensure a consistently high demand for rental housing.
The housing stock is characterised by one of Europe's largest collections of Gründerzeit buildings, supplemented by housing estates from the 1920s, post-war developments in East and West, and large residential complexes on the outskirts of the city. Legally, Berlin is demanding: social conservation statutes, conversion bans, and pre-emption rights shape many transactions.
Genau in diesem Umfeld sind wir zu Hause. Wir kaufen Bestandsobjekte mit Entwicklungspotenzial: Häuser mit Instandhaltungsrückstau, Erbengemeinschaften im Hintergrund, unklarer Rechtslage oder einem Vermietungsstand unter dem örtlichen Niveau.
For owners, this means: no property listing, no portals, no viewing groups, and no estate agent commission. We check the tenant list and land registry, view the property, and name a purchase price which will not be subject to further negotiation.
Do you own a property outside of Berlin? We also buy in Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia – see Purchasing regions and Acquisition profile.

Sell a multi-family property in Berlin – Your questions
How quickly will I receive a purchase price indication?
As a rule, within a few days of receiving the tenant list and land register extract. For an initial indication of the purchase price, the form on this page is sufficient for now – you can submit the documents at any time.
Will I have to pay a commission?
Nein. Wir sind keine Makler, sondern kaufen auf eigene Rechnung. Es entsteht kein Maklerauftrag und keine Provision.
My house needs renovation or is vacant – would you still buy it?
Yes. Properties with maintenance backlogs, partial vacancies, or complex legal situations are part of our core profile. We transparently factor the necessary expenditure into our offer.
What happens to my tenants?
