Selling well is not luck.
for anyone looking for a home in Berlin and in Italy
Selected properties. Real opportunities.
We don't collect listings. We take them to market with a strategy.
Taking on a mandate means taking on a responsibility towards the owner. That is why we do not simply publish a property on the portals: before starting a sale we analyse its value, its positioning and the real market conditions.
Read moreWe are not just an agency. We are a strategy.
We work to sell, not to publish. Every property is analysed, positioned and presented to achieve the best result in the shortest time. No stock photos, no inflated prices, no endless listings.
Selection, not volume. We handle thirty or forty properties per season — not three hundred. For each one we know the building, the aspect, the price per square metre on the same block, the negotiation margin, the history.
Your property in Italy, looked after in every detail
For over 20 years we have worked in the German property market, guiding our clients through the sale and purchase of their homes and building a deep knowledge of the procedures, the paperwork and the demands of international property transactions.

We select apartments the way you select a five-star hotel room — for the light, the aspect, the neighbourhood and the way they give back the feel of the city. Long-term leases, clear contracts, in-house management. No subletting, no surprises at check-in.
Clear contracts, in Italian and German
Translated and annotated Mietvertrag. We explain Nebenkosten, Kaution, indexation and termination clauses before signing — not after.
In-house management, one contact
An Italian property manager dedicated to the tenant. Payments, maintenance, communications with the Hausverwaltung: all through us.

Rentals with a proper Wohnungsgeberbestätigung, first Bürgeramt visit accompanied. The day after check-in you have your Meldebescheinigung.
Rental as investment
For landlords: professional property management, net yield in writing. Three minimum tenant filters, two inspections per year, separate accounts.
What is your property really worth?

04Can I buy a property in Berlin from abroad?
Yes. m² Bear's specialises in assisting Italian and international buyers on the Berlin property market, with multilingual advice at every stage of the purchase.
05What are property prices in Berlin?
Prices vary by district. On average: €4,000–€7,000/m² to buy, €12–€22/m² per month to rent. Contact our consultants for an up-to-date estimate.
06What are the additional costs of buying in Berlin?
On top of the price you pay 6% real estate transfer tax (Grunderwerbsteuer), around 1.5–2% for the notary and land registry (Grundbuch), and the agent's commission, which by law is split equally between seller and buyer (typically 3.57% each, VAT included). Overall, budget about 10–12% of the price.
07How long does a property purchase in Germany take?
From agreeing on the price to signing at the notary (Beurkundung) usually takes 4–8 weeks. The notary then checks the conditions for payment; transfer of ownership and entry in the Grundbuch generally take another 2–3 months.
08Do I need to speak German to sign at the notary?
No. The deed is drawn up in German, but if the buyer does not understand it well enough the law requires an interpreter and, on request, a written translation. m² Bear's handles the whole negotiation in English, Italian or French.
09Can a non-resident buyer get a mortgage in Germany?
Yes, German banks also lend to buyers living in other EU countries, but they usually require more equity: at least 20–40% of the price plus the additional costs. Terms depend on income, country of residence and the bank.
10What rules apply to rentals in Berlin?
Berlin applies the rent brake (Mietpreisbremse): in new contracts the rent may not exceed the local reference rent in the Mietspiegel by more than 10%, with exceptions such as new buildings or fully modernised flats. The deposit is capped at three months' net rent.
