Moving to Berlin
Relocation Service
From the first briefing abroad to the key handover in Berlin — a personal service for professionals, families, and companies arriving in the city.
Our Promise
Arrive in Berlin. We handle the rest.
Finding a home in Berlin from abroad is hard: the market moves fast, contracts are in German, and the paperwork begins before you have an address. Our relocation service closes that gap.
One dedicated advisor manages your entire move — the home search for rent or purchase, viewings, negotiations, and the practical steps that follow. Most of it can be handled remotely before you land.
We have relocated international executives, diplomatic families, and entire teams to Berlin. Whatever brings you to the city, you move in knowing everything has been taken care of.
What We Do
One service, the whole move
Dedicated home search
A curated search across our rental portfolio, the open market, and off-market opportunities — matched to your budget, districts, and timeline.
Shortlists & viewings
We pre-screen every property, arrange viewings around your schedule, and accompany you — in person or via video call if you are still abroad.
Lease review & negotiation
German rental contracts, deposits, and notice periods explained in plain English — and negotiated on your behalf before you sign.
Registration & paperwork
Guidance through the Anmeldung (address registration), landlord documentation such as the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung, and the documents you need to prepare.
Settling-in support
Trusted contacts for banking, insurance, utilities, and internet — plus orientation on schools, kitas, and daily life in your new neighbourhood.
Corporate & diplomatic relocation
Housing support for employers, HR teams, and family offices — and discreet coordination with embassies through our dedicated diplomatic service.
