Denmark’s Radio, Søren Hessel Berg, Chairman of the holiday fund:

“The leasing of our apartment is well underway and we have no negative feedback, only positive.

We are very pleased that we are waited for the right opportunity and the amenities that are in the building.

I would like to add that we have been very happy with the service ConnectGermany contributed. We felt well equipped to tackle the practical challenges of purchasing property in another country, thank you! “

Karsten Mouritsen, Representative for an owner’s association consisting of 12 families:

“Buying real estate is not commonplace for most people – and much greater uncertainty can arise when new housing is to be purchased abroad.

We are a group of 12 families who came together to purchase an apartment in Berlin. We formed an association to manage the apartment, which the families use as a holiday home. Each family has the apartment at their disposal every 12 weeks – or approximately four times a year – according to a plan of distribution over 10 years. There were not very many apartments available that matched our criteria, with a desired location in Prenzlauer Berg and newly-modernized Altbau. We soon came in contact with Hanne Birgitte Dalgaard from ConnectGermany, who was the guarantor of a project that met our needs. Language was no barrier, we were well assisted by German notary, who speaks and writes Danish.

Once we were aware that the broker was a seller’s representative in Denmark, we were confident that we were in very safe hands with Hanne. We’ve really seen Hanne as a worthy representative of both seller and buyer – and we’ve received good advice and great help with the many questions that arise when buying property abroad. Assistance ranging far beyond what one normally expects as a buyer of real estate. If you want to buy real estate in Berlin, we strongly recommend purchasing through Hanne and ConnectGermany. “

On behalf of all of us,

Kaj Rasmussen, Chairman of the City of Struer’s holiday fund:

The holiday fund for members of Struer Municipality has just bought an apartment in Berlin. We used Hanne Birgitte Dalgaard from ConnectGermany as a consultant in connection with the acquisition.

Buying property in Germany is somewhat different than in Denmark and we have had great help from ConnectGermany who is experienced with the process and paperwork in Germany. Hanne Dalgaard performed many of the negotiations with the German partners and has continually told us what documents to expect and how we should deal with them.

She also helped with contacts for painters and a kitchen installation company and participated in negotiations with them. We are extremely satisfied with the service we received.

We can highly recommend ConnectGermany as a consultant for others who are considering buying an apartment in Germany.”

Annette Borchsenius, Office Manager and Niels Erik D. Jensen, International Director:

“Throughout the entire purchase cycle, from our first expression of interest until everything related to the purchase was in place, ConnectGermany has provided a very professional service.

We got answers, information and help immediately. ConnectGermany has always followed up on issues and provided perfect service. We felt very well treated and we always felt comfortable with ConnectGermany’s advice. Even after the trade, we have received fantastic service.

In short, ConnectGermany offered very competent and personal service from A to Z. We give ConnectGermany our highest recommendation. “

Anja and Uffe Viegh Jørgensen:

“Our experience with home purchases through ConnectGermany has been unsurpassed. We were taken by the hand in a secure and comfortable way from out first contact and were not released until the final administrative things fell into place.

Help from ConnectGermany has been fantastic before, during and after our purchase. The experience of buying property in Berlin was as easy as buying a house in Denmark, thanks to ConnectGermany.

Our impression is that the service ConnectGermany provides is out of the ordinary, and we can highly recommend others to purchase property via ConnectGermany. “

Claus Hjarnø, Economic Advisor:

“We were excited by the TV broadcast ‘Hammerslag’ in Berlin and thought, well, why not buy an apartment in Europe’s new metropolis.

We thought that we could find an apartment quickly, but we quickly learned different. We saw maybe 20 apartments and climbed up and down stairs, travelling to Berlin 3-4 times. Not once did our broker in Berlin tire of us, not even when we ended up at the wrong address at the opposite end of town from where he was. We are very grateful to him.

We lost count of how many emails Hanne helped us decipher and even she hasn’t tired of us, which is great because, I’m not sure that it isn’t over yet.

Be prepared that your letter box will overflow with letters and bills, some bigger than others. Especially the purchase tax of 4.5% was a surprise, but now ConnectGermany has fortunately made an overview of the costs of buying apartment in Berlin. Have we regretted our decision? No, not for a moment. We look forward to the next time we can escape to Berlin, and I think many years will pass before we cannot find something new to discover down there”

Lykke and John Johannessen, Sales Managers:

“When we wanted to buy an apartment in Berlin, we were a little lost with our tourist-German. Then we remembered the episode of DR’s ‘Hammerslag’ in Berlin. We quickly found Hanne on the Internet and she was our saviour, because without her we would have had many problems along the way.

Hanne could advise us on which areas in Berlin were attractive to buy in. We were invited to the office in Berlin, where we had a very high level of service, particularly with apartment viewings.

When we found what we were looking at a another broker in town, Hanne was on the sidelines with a translation of everything that came our way by mail, advice on questions we should ask, and the reading of the contract.

After the purchase, we were also informed about what bills we should expect. We can only say that without Hanne we would not have come so easily through the sometimes difficult task of buying property abroad.

Finally, we’d like to mention that if Hanne was not by the phone when we called, we got a call back very quickly. And as for our contact via email, we got very quick responses whenever we sent questions.

We can really recommend that you make use of ConnectGermanys Service Packs, if you follow the dream to purchase property in Berlin. “
