General

When You Get to Know Us

Whether by phone, WhatsApp, email, or through our contact form—we’ll respond within 4 hours on business days. During our initial consultation, we’ll start by listening: What’s your situation, and what’s your goal? Only then will we suggest how we can help. The initial consultation is free and non-binding.

Our focus is on Görlitz, Bautzen, Zittau, and the entire Upper Lusatia region. We know every street—from Görlitz’s Old Town through Königshufen and Biesnitz all the way to Rauschwalde. For larger properties or appraisals, we also operate outside the region—please feel free to contact us.

The initial consultation and market assessment are generally free of charge. For sales and rentals, the statutory real estate agent’s commission applies—which is clearly communicated before the contract is signed. For appraisals and condominium management, we provide customized quotes based on the property and the amount of work involved.

On weekdays, we respond within 4 hours —usually much faster. Outside of business hours, we will respond by 12 p.m. the next business day. For urgent matters, you can reach us by phone at +49 3581 6490 886.

With us, there are no hand-offs to different representatives. Three people are familiar with your case: Marvin Kämpfe (Sales & Negotiations), Thomas von Skrbensky (Appraisal & Condominium Management), and Julia Schubert (Communication & Contracts). Depending on your specific needs, one or two of them will be your direct points of contact.

Sell & Rent

When You Let Go of Your Property

In three phases: Evaluate – Market – Support. Thomas first conducts a free market assessment. Marvin then develops the marketing strategy—professional photos, property description, platform listings, and targeted buyer outreach. Julia keeps you informed every step of the way. We’ll be by your side right up until the notary appointment.

For the initial consultation, a general description of your property is sufficient. The following documents will be helpful for the subsequent marketing process: land registry extract, energy performance certificate, floor plan, living area calculation, declaration of division (for condominiums), and utility bills. If there are any documents you don’t have, we’ll work with you to obtain them.

Realistically, between 6 and 16 weeks —depending on the property, price, and market conditions. Condos in downtown Görlitz are currently often sold within 4–8 weeks. Larger or unique properties (those in need of renovation or with special uses) may take longer. We’re transparent: If something takes time, we’ll tell you why.

Three things: An in-house expert (Thomas handles the appraisal; no external appraiser needed), personal service instead of a call center (you have three dedicated contacts), and six services under one roof —buying, renting, selling, leasing, appraisal, and condominium management. Once you work with us, you’ll have a single point of contact for every issue.

Yes. We handle tenant screening, credit checks, showings, drafting lease agreements, and, if desired, ongoing property management. Especially for private landlords with one to five units, this is often less stressful than marketing the properties themselves—without the uncertainty of finding tenants and with legally sound contracts.

Buy & Rent

If you're looking for something new

Two options: Search directly through our current listings, or submit a search request —you provide your criteria, and we’ll contact you as soon as something suitable comes on the market. Many of our properties are never listed on public portals but are filled directly from the search request pool.

Yes, definitely. We list rental properties in Görlitz and the surrounding area. If you provide us with your preferred criteria (size, neighborhood, budget, desired move-in date), we’ll reach out to you proactively. For many of the rental apartments we manage, you’ll be notified much sooner this way than through public portals.

The Tenant Self-Declaration Form is a standardized data collection form that we request from seriously interested tenants prior to a property viewing. It serves as a substitute for a Schufa credit report and proof of income in the initial stage and helps speed up the leasing process. You can conveniently fill out the form online.

Görlitz has seen steady growth in recent years—especially in the city center, Königshufen, and Biesnitz. Purchase prices for condominiums range from €1,200 to €2,800 per square meter, depending on location and condition. Rents range from €6 to €10 per square meter. During our consultation, we’ll provide you with an honest, up-to-date assessment of your specific property.

Valuation & WEG

If You Need Security

Two options: A free market assessment (1–2 days, based on key data and local market knowledge) or an official appraisal in accordance with the ImmoWertV by Thomas von Skrbensky, a certified appraiser. The latter is legally binding and is recognized in cases of inheritance, divorce, disputes over market value, and banking matters.

An official appraisal typically costs between €800 and €2,500, depending on the type of property, its size, and the amount of work involved . The free market estimate covers most private situations (decision to sell, uncontested division of an estate, refinancing). During our initial consultation, we’ll give you an honest assessment of what you actually need.

Yes. Thomas is not only an appraiser but also a WEG property manager for homeowners’ associations in Görlitz and the surrounding area. We handle homeowners’ meetings, service charge billing, maintenance planning, and the implementation of resolutions. For buyers of condominiums, this is often a compelling selling point: everything from a single source.

All data is handled in compliance with the GDPR. We store only what is necessary, and only for as long as necessary. Tenant self-disclosure data is deleted after the placement process, unless you enter into a lease agreement. For details, please see our Privacy Policy—or ask Julia directly.
