Which documents should I prepare?

Is the first estimate free?
Many agents offer a non-binding initial estimate. Ask beforehand whether any costs apply.

Editorial context
Working with a provider in Cologne – what matters
When choosing an estate agent in Cologne, prospective clients should first establish whether the provider’s activities match their property and intended transaction. KSK-Immobilien lists residential and commercial properties, as well as existing and new-build properties, among its business areas. The initial discussion should therefore identify the specific task: selling an apartment, letting a house or purchasing an investment property.
With a provider operating across a broad region, it is worth asking who will personally handle the property and what experience they have in the relevant Cologne submarket. Responsibilities, communication arrangements and the organisation of viewings should also be agreed before an instruction is given. The number of locations alone does not answer these questions.
The online valuation calculator is expressly presented as an initial estimate. For subsequent pricing decisions, owners should ask how location, condition, specifications and comparable properties are taken into account. The scope of services, fees and any additional costs should also be discussed transparently; specific terms are not stated in the supplied sources.
For new-build listings, prospective buyers should examine project-specific information, particularly construction progress, included specifications, energy performance figures and expected completion. General statements about new buildings do not replace documentation for an individual property. Google reviews can provide additional indications of how clients experience the service. However, a selected group of positive reviews does not represent every customer experience.

Absolut empfehlenswert – ein rundum positives Erlebnis! Ich bin begeistert von der Zusammenarbeit mit der KSK-Immobilien in Köln. Ein ganz großes Lob und vielen Dank an Herrn Zapke! Von den ersten Objekt-Besichtigungsterminen bis hin zum finalen Notarabschluss war die Begleitung einfach perfekt. Auch die gesamte Vermittlung hat einwandfrei geklappt. Mein Gesamteindruck ist durchweg positiv, da Herr Zapke mich absolut kompetent beraten, sich viel Zeit genommen und jede Frage geduldig beantwortet hat. Klare 5 Sterne für diesen erstklassigen Service!
Wir haben mit Herrn Antonio Profeta unsere Wohnung gekauft und hätten uns keine bessere Begleitung wünschen können. Vom ersten Kontakt war er stets freundlich, engagiert und zuverlässig. Besonders angenehm fanden wir die unkomplizierte Kommunikation und dass er sich immer Zeit für unsere Fragen genommen hat. Vielen Dank für die tolle Unterstützung auf dem Weg zu unserem neuen Zuhause. Wir können Herrn Profeta sehr empfehlen! 😊
Herr Giuliana und Herr Schirrmacher sind die sympathischsten Immobilienmakler, mit denen ich bisher zu tun hatte. Von Anfang an war der Kontakt angenehm, unkompliziert und auf Augenhöhe. Beide haben sich Zeit genommen, alle Fragen verständlich zu beantworten und den gesamten Prozess transparent zu erklären. Besonders positiv fand ich, dass man sich nicht unter Druck gesetzt fühlt, sondern ehrlich beraten wird. Termine wurden zuverlässig eingehalten und die Kommunikation war jederzeit freundlich und klar. Insgesamt habe ich mich gut betreut gefühlt und kann die Zusammenarbeit mit ihnen guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.
So macht Immobilienerwerb Spaß: guter Service, faire Vermittlung zwischen Käufer und Verkäufer und menschlich sympatisch! Wir wurden von Frau Scherf beim Kauf einer Immobilie begleitet und sind rundum zufrieden. Von ersten Mailkontakt bis zum Abschluss beim Notar wurden wir freundlich und vertrauensvoll betreut - auch größere "Baustellen" wurden von Frau Scherf professionell moderiert und konnten so letztlich aus dem Weg geräumt werden. Auch kurzfristige Nachfragen wurden per Telefon oder Mail verständnisvoll beantwortet. Gerne wieder!
Die KSK-Immobilien, in unserem Fall vertreten durch Frau Lobitz, hat uns beim Verkauf unseres Einfamilienhauses überaus kompetent, vertrauensvoll, zuvorkommend und seriös beraten. Sie war immer sehr gut vorbereitet, hatte alle nötigen Informationen bereit, beantwortete sämtliche Fragen freundlich, geduldig und ausführlich. Sie kümmerte sich lückenlos um die Verkaufsabwicklung. Wir haben uns bei Frau Lobitz sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder die KSK-Immobilien GmbH wählen. Herzlichen Dank für Ihre sehr gute Arbeit. Wir empfehlen Sie uneingeschränkt weiter.

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
