02 Challenges
Are you familiar with
these challenges?
Unproductive search
Are you losing valuable time reviewing properties that are not actually available - or repeatedly receiving low-quality listings that do not even match your investment criteria?
Uncertain pricing assessment
Do you need a realistic market value for your property and want to avoid selling too low - without pricing so high that you deter investors?
Failed transactions
Are sales failing due to financing problems of potential investors, poorly prepared property documents, or unexpected due diligence findings?
Concern about discretion
Do you want a targeted, discreet marketing approach - without wasted outreach and without “burning” your asset on the market?
Lack of transparency
Are you not receiving reliable reporting, leaving the marketing status unclear - and do you lack a dedicated point of contact?
Standardized brokerage services
Instead of specialising in retail real estate, are you only getting “standard marketing”? Are you lacking a services concept that precisely matches your goals - and a partner who can handle the entire transaction process and truly understands your asset class?
We have the solution:
Exclusive off-market access
Our closed network provides access to qualified properties that are never publicly listed and precisely match your requirements.
In-depth market analysis
Our experts determine the fair market value, taking into account location, leases, and market conditions.
Credit check and documentation
We screen investors in advance, create a professional property presentation, and assist with the preparation of the data room.
Discreet B2B marketing
We present your property exclusively through our exclusive national and international off-market networks - targeting institutional investors, family offices, and professional buyers, without public listings.
Complete transparency
With a dedicated contact person and regular reporting, you can keep track of the marketing status at all times.
Tailored strategies
We develop a customized concept for your property - and your current mix of requirements in terms of return, discretion, or speed. Whether you want transparent, close coordination throughout the entire transaction process or maximum support from market analysis to notarization, we will find the best solution for you!
03 Asset class
What we bring together is built to last and offers perspective
We implement tailor-made solutions for investors and owners of retail properties – from valuation to successful transaction.
Core assets with constant returns
Whether hypermarkets, drugstores, or non-food retailers, retail properties with established chain stores offer high value retention and stable returns. Locations with low online substitution risk are particularly attractive – they remain relevant in the long term and ensure a reliable return base in the portfolio.
Stable income thanks to systemically important tenants
Supermarkets are among the most reliable forms of investment in commercial real estate. They offer attractive features such as systemically important tenants, long-term leases, and consistently high footfall. Especially in times of economic uncertainty, they ensure stable cash flows – with low default risks and high predictability for investors.
High demand, solid returns
Discounters are clearly positioned retail formats with lean floor space and efficient operations. They combine cost advantages with high demand, especially in peripheral locations. For investors, this means low volatility and a constant cash flow – even when consumer spending is subdued.
Highly creditworthy chain stores, attractive cash flows
Specialist retail stores often offer large, flexible rental spaces with creditworthy chain stores from sectors such as DIY, furniture, and electronics. This makes them a stable addition to any portfolio with an attractive risk/return profile.
Diversity meets location stability
Local shopping centers combine various types of retail under one roof, such as food, drugstores, and complementary retail outlets. This tenant structure generates footfall, reduces vacancy risks, and appeals to different target groups. For investors, they therefore offer stable, long-term earnings prospects.

08 FAQ
Typical questions from investors
How do I find suitable retail real estate investments?
We analyze your investment criteria (target yield, asset type/use, location, etc.) and present suitable off-market opportunities from our exclusive network. The entire process – from your initial inquiry through to notarization- is supported individually and end-to-end.
How does a typical transaction work?
After the requirements analysis, the process continues with property selection, viewings, and negotiations. We pre-screen buyers, prepare market valuations, and support you through notarization. The average timeline is 3–9 months, depending on complexity and market conditions.
Why use off-market deals?
Off-market transactions offer sellers and investors maximum discretion, a pre-qualified buyer pool, improved transaction certainty, and a more efficient sales process. We broker exclusively through closed channels to institutional investors, family offices, and professional buyers – without public listings.
What are the costs for your services?
Our fees depend on the transaction volume and the level of effort involved, and they become due only after our services have been used. We would be happy to explain the potential costs and terms in detail in a personal conversation.
How do we differ from other service providers?
As a specialized investment boutique for retail real estate, we combine the expertise of international brokerage firms with the flexibility of an owner-managed family business. As an independent partner without corporate structures, we consistently represent your interests – transparent, discreet, and results-driven. You benefit from personal support by our expert team and managing partners, short decision-making paths, and a service scope tailored to the needs of institutional investors, family offices, and professional buyers. Our focus is on delivering a secure, efficient, and successful transaction.
