The neighbor has to sell his house because the couple has separated. How do you know that? From the other neighbors, of course. After all, the "For Sale" signs were impossible to miss, and sooner than the poor neighbor would have liked, he was the talk of the town—but he still couldn't get rid of his house. But it doesn't have to come to that: selling a property to a neighbor can quickly become uncomfortable.

There are many other reasons why you might want to sell your property as secretly and quietly as possible. The mere idea of displaying your living space with your address and contact details on real estate portals makes many people uncomfortable, as anyone can easily view your private rooms via the internet. So how should you proceed?

Selling real estate: balancing desire and reality

Demand on the real estate market is currently high almost everywhere. It doesn't seem difficult to find interested buyers for your own home. That may be true in some cases – but only if you don't care about the sale price you achieve. Behind every successful sale, where an optimal price is achieved within a reasonable time, there is usually a lot of work—especially if it is a so-called "silent sale."

And since selling a property is a very complex process, it's easy to lose sight of things: Which documents are important for the sale? What needs to be considered when preparing the property to keep the marketing process short? How can I best offer my property "secretly" and still manage to sell it at its true value?

If you don't know how much your property is actually worth, you won't be able to find a suitable asking price, let alone come up with a sensible pricing strategy. The asking price is crucial for several reasons. If it is chosen incorrectly, it can have a huge impact on the entire sales process. In the worst case, you won't find the right buyers, you'll be under time pressure after months of marketing, and you'll end up selling the property below its value. However, if you don't deal with this on a daily basis, it is usually difficult to assess how factors such as location, property size, Living space, type of property, fixtures and fittings, year of construction, renovations carried out, etc. affect the value of a property, taking into account the current market situation.

Once the right asking price has been determined, the next important steps must be taken: Various documents must be gathered or requested from different offices and authorities. For example, an energy performance certificate must be available during the viewing. A land register extract, building plans, a cadastral map, proof of development, and several other documents are also required for the sale of real estate.

Now comes the really difficult part of the sales process: not everyone who views a property intends to buy it. Viewing management should be well thought out. Especially if you want to keep the sale discreet, it is important to weed out fake prospects immediately. But how do you select interested parties or even the right buyer when you want to involve as few people as possible in your plans? And how do you know who is trustworthy and who is not?

Even with a trained eye, it can be difficult to identify the different types of fake prospects. There are the so-called viewing tourists: people who like to look at properties in their spare time but have no intention of buying. By asking clarifying questions, you can get an impression of how serious a prospective buyer is about your property. For example, ask them what their dream property looks like, how long they have been searching, and whether they have already secured financing. The clearer the answers, the clearer the interest.

Our tip: Don't schedule viewings on weekends, which are the days off for leisure viewers. Serious prospective buyers will make time during the week if it's really important to them. But that's also the downside: people who are busy at work value their evenings. If you are selling your property yourself, you must assume that you will be contacted by interested parties at any time—yes, even in the evenings.

In addition, there are also prospective buyers who are very serious about purchasing but lack the purchasing power or creditworthiness, which is why the creditworthiness of prospective buyers should always be checked in advance. All in all, this is a lot of work for you as the seller, because it delays the sale of your property.

You can certainly take each of these steps in the sales process on your own. But for real estate agents, this is their daily business. A real estate agent knows what is important when valuing a property, which documents are important for the sale, how to approach the right prospective buyers, how to organize viewings optimally, and how to select the right buyer.

They also guarantee that the quiet sale of your property will proceed as you imagine. This is because an agent's pool of interested parties grows with every viewing and with every property on offer. This generates a multitude of enquiries – far more than a private seller with their property for sale, who wants to let as few people as possible know about it. From this pool of "surplus" prospective buyers, whom the real estate agent already knows personally, they can then specifically identify those who match your requirements. This not only speeds up the sales process, it also makes it very discreet.

Selling real estate – with or without an agent?

Selling a property involves a large sum of money – when it really matters, you want the best possible service, such as that provided by a specialist lawyer. A real estate agent uses negotiation, marketing, and pricing strategies that they have tried and tested over many years.

It depends on the initial situation. Many foreclosures can be avoided and even stopped. As real estate professionals, we know how to quickly identify the right solutions.

What is better: sell discreetly or tell everyone about it?

Anyone who wants to sell discreetly has good reasons for doing so and needs a proven strategy. Telling everyone about it does not always enhance the attractiveness of the property.

Sustainability in the real estate sector: support programs and benefits for owners

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, but plays a central role in the real estate sector. Owners who focus on energy-efficient construction, resource-saving modernization, or sustainable management of their properties today benefit in several ways: through government subsidy programs, long-term cost savings, and a significant increase in the value of their property. In the Olpe district and neighboring regions in particular, the requirements for sustainable standards are rising—and with them the demand for modern, future-proof properties. Whether KfW promotional loans for energy-efficient renovation, subsidies for photovoltaic systems, or special incentives from the federal states: it is worthwhile for owners to invest specifically in sustainable measures. In addition to reducing ongoing operating costs, such investments significantly increase the attractiveness of properties for buyers and tenants. Better rentability, higher return prospects, and a greater sense of security with regard to upcoming legal regulations are convincing arguments for more sustainability in real estate portfolios. Those who look into funding opportunities and sustainable concepts early on create real added value for themselves and future generations.

Real estate investment in 2025: opportunities and risks at a glance

The real estate market in 2025 offers both experienced investors and newcomers fascinating opportunities to diversify their investment strategies and enjoy sustainable returns. However, as in any area of investment, there are challenges that need to be overcome. In view of current economic developments and inflation, it is important to select the right properties with a clear focus and sound analysis.

Current trends in the real estate market in 2025: What buyers and sellers should know

The real estate market in 2025 is facing dynamic changes that will have a significant impact on both buyers and sellers. One key trend is the increased use of digitalization in real estate, from virtual viewings to data-based price analyses. These technologies enable potential buyers to make informed decisions and offer sellers forward-looking marketing strategies. Demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient properties is also growing rapidly. Modern buyers value low emissions and sustainable construction, which has a significant impact on property values. Another trend is the urbanization of smaller cities, as more and more people are moving from large cities to smaller communities to benefit from a higher quality of life and lower prices. This development opens up opportunities for sellers who invest early in up-and-coming regions. At the same time, this means that buyers should consider more options outside the traditional "hotspots" in major cities. In summary, knowledge of these trends and their implications for the buying and selling process can have a decisive impact. It is now more important than ever for buyers and sellers to closely monitor the market and position themselves accordingly.
