Classical and Gründerzeit villas. Often listed buildings, often in second or third hand within the families that have lived in them for decades.
We have been brokering residential property between the Outer Alster and the Elbe since 1962 — discreetly, with deep market knowledge, and without the tone of voice our profession is known for.
We focus on premium residential property between the Outer Alster and the Elbe. Many engagements come to us by referral — some of our houses move without ever being publicly listed.
Classical and Gründerzeit villas. Often listed buildings, often in second or third hand within the families that have lived in them for decades.
Period apartments with stucco ceilings, French doors, parquet flooring. Four to seven rooms, often with a loggia or balcony to the quiet courtyard side.
Houses on the Elbe slope. Garden, terraces, view. Rarely on the market — when they are, usually through us.
An excerpt. The complete portfolio is available under Properties — or in the off-market newsletter.

Managing Director, third generation. In conversation about why this firm has belonged to the same family since 1962 — and why that is not by chance.
We don't sell houses. We facilitate handovers. That sounds dramatic — until you witness a seller weeping at the notary's because his parents built the house in 1956."
Helena Musterfrau took over the firm in 2018 from her father Friedrich, who had taken it over from his father Gustav — the founder — in 1994. Three generations, two handovers, one address.
„We broker houses to people who know that buying a house is not something done quickly."
— Friedrich Höffermann, 2nd generation, in conversation 2017
