Hello, I'm Olga.

I'm a licensed real estate agent in Berlin. After many deals with a renowned German real estate firm, I now work independently for buyers, sellers and landlords in Berlin and beyond.

For more than ten years I have worked with expats in Germany. I know which German steps make people from abroad unsure, and I explain each of them.

Being independent means I choose whom I work with: notaries, lawyers, mortgage consultants, renovation companies and other agents. That lets me do more for my clients.

My favourite part is seeing the parties' happy faces after the deal is signed.

Tell me what you have in mind, and we will find the next step together.
