Real estate valuation

Purchase, sale, inheritance, divorce or gift — an independent appraisal report gives you a reliable basis for all important real estate decisions.

Neutral real estate valuation — without conflict of interest
Real estate agents estimate, banks calculate conservatively, and the neighbor has a different opinion. Anyone who wants to know the actual value of a property — when buying, in the event of inheritance, during divorce, or for the tax office — needs an independent expert appraisal report.
As a certified real estate valuer, we prepare appraisal reports according to the standardized valuation procedures of the ImmoWertV — without commission from a real estate agent, without any interest in a commission, and without dependence on a bank. You receive a reliable market value statement that you can use in any negotiation, before the tax office, and in court in case of a dispute.
What sets our appraisal reports for private individuals apart:
- ✓Independent — we work exclusively for you, not for real estate agents or banks
- ✓Fixed price — binding before the assignment begins, no hidden costs
- ✓Court-compliant — usable in inheritance disputes, divorce proceedings, and in court
- ✓Understandable — we explain the value and its derivation in plain language

In what situation can I help you?
An expert appraisal report is always advisable when a property changes ownership, is to be divided, or must be valued for tax purposes.
Purchase & Sale
Whether you are buying or selling: an independent appraisal report gives you the assurance that the agreed purchase price reflects the actual market value — and helps you avoid a wrong decision that could burden you for years.
- Purchase price plausibility review before signing
- Basis for negotiation in a sale
- Independent of real estate agents
- Condensed appraisal report or full appraisal report
Inheritance & Community of Heirs
In the event of inheritance, properties must be valued — for inheritance tax purposes, for the settlement among heirs, and to defend against inflated tax office valuations. We prepare the appraisal report that meets the requirements of the tax office and the courts.
- Proof for the tax office (§ 198 BewG)
- Basis for estate settlement
- Court-standard for inheritance disputes
- Also retroactively as of the date of death
Divorce & Separation
In a divorce, the jointly owned property is often the biggest point of contention. A neutral appraisal report bindingly establishes the market value for the equalization of accrued gains, the sale, or the settlement payment to a partner.
- Market value for equalization of accrued gains (Zugewinnausgleich)
- Basis for settlement payment calculation
- Neutral — recognized by both parties
- Standard in family law disputes before courts
Gifts & Anticipated Succession
Anyone transferring a property during their lifetime wants to optimize tax outcomes and avoid future disputes among heirs. An appraisal report establishes the value of the gift in a binding manner — for the tax office and for the family.
- Proof of fair market value (§ 198 BewG, German Valuation Act)
- Optimization of gift tax
- Calculation of the compulsory portion
- Also retroactively to the date of the gift
Our services for private individuals
From a quick check to a complete market value appraisal — we advise you on which appraisal report is most suitable for your situation.
The complete expert appraisal report according to ImmoWertV — for inheritance, divorce, tax office, and court. Legally sound, comprehensible, and personally explained.
Fast, compact valuation for straightforward cases: purchase price check, initial assessment for inheritance matters, or as a basis for personal decisions. More affordable and faster than a full appraisal report.
Before you sign a purchase agreement: we check whether the requested price corresponds to the market value. One of the most important investments before the biggest investment of your life.
Valuation for the tax office to prove a lower fair market value (§ 198 BewG) — as opposed to the often inflated property tax value assessed by the tax office. Retroactive valuation as of a specific reference date is also possible.
Local comparative rent for rent adjustment, as evidence for income tax purposes, or as a basis for calculating the income approach value. Also for mixed-use properties.
A compact market value statement or a supplement to an existing appraisal report — as a response to a bank's valuation, as a counter-statement, or as a basis for a purchase price negotiation.

An expert appraisal report is an investment — I make sure you can rely on it.
Independent & neutral
We work exclusively for you — not for real estate agents, banks, or sellers. Our fee does not depend on the outcome.
Fixed price
You know exactly what the appraisal report will cost before commissioning it. No hourly rates, no surprises — the agreed price is the final price.

Our appraisal reports meet the formal requirements for a private expert opinion pursuant to the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO). They can be used as evidence in inheritance disputes, divorce proceedings, and before the fiscal court.

How the engagement process works
Get in touch by phone, email, or via the contact form. We will clarify with you which type of appraisal report makes sense for your purpose and provide you with a binding fixed price.
You send us the available documents: land register extract, building plans, living area calculation, lease agreements, etc. We tell you what we need — you don't need to be an expert.
Personal inspection of the property — we take the necessary time to capture all value-relevant aspects. Condition, location, fittings and special features are fully incorporated into the appraisal report.
Determination of the market value using the standardized methods of the ImmoWertV: sales comparison approach, cost approach or income approach — depending on the type of property. All assumptions are transparently justified.
Delivery as a bound appraisal report and as a PDF within the agreed deadline. We explain the result to you personally and answer your questions. If required, we are also available to respond to queries from the tax office or the court.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an appraisal report for my property cost?+
The fee is based on the market value of the property and the type of appraisal report. You will receive a binding fixed price from us in advance — no hourly rates, no additional charges afterward. Use the contact form or call us so that, after a brief inquiry, we can provide you with a concrete quote.
Do I need a full appraisal report or is a condensed appraisal report sufficient?+
This depends on your purpose. For private decisions, such as a purchase price check or an initial assessment, a condensed appraisal report is often sufficient. For the tax office, a court, or a bank, you will need a complete market value appraisal in accordance with § 194 BauGB. In a personal consultation, we will clarify with you what makes sense in your situation.
Can the appraisal report be prepared retroactively to the valuation date of inheritance or gift?+
Yes. If a retroactive valuation date is relevant for inheritance tax or gift tax purposes (e.g., the deceased's date of death), we can determine the market value as of that date. The valuation is based on the market data applicable at that particular point in time.
Will the tax office recognize your appraisal report?+
Yes. Pursuant to § 198 BewG (German Valuation Act), you can prove a lower fair market value to the tax office if it is substantiated by an appraisal report from a recognized valuer. The tax office is then obliged to accept this value, provided the appraisal report meets the formal requirements. Our appraisal reports meet these requirements.
Will you also come to me for the inspection?+
Yes. We inspect properties nationwide — even on short notice. Travel costs are included in the fixed price or disclosed transparently in advance. A personal inspection is always required for a complete appraisal report.
