Costs & agency fees
For direct property sales, Benderbal Immobilien uses a transparent standard model. The seller and buyer each enter into a separate agency agreement.
Defined sales model
The terms are agreed in writing before the assignment begins. The following information explains the standard model for direct property sales.

The total purchase price recorded in the notarial deed, including accessories and inventory sold with the property. Property transfer tax, notary, land-register and financing costs are excluded.
Benderbal Immobilien's usual own services, including ordinary online marketing, are covered by the success fee.
No hidden flat charges.
There is no flat marketing, administration, cancellation or reservation fee. Special third-party costs are commissioned only after a separate prior agreement defining the service, payer and maximum gross amount.
Worked example
For a total notarised purchase price of €500,000, the fee is €17,850 gross for each contracting party.
Lettings, standalone property-search assignments, and B2B or local services for companies and partners are agreed separately. The 3.57% stated here does not automatically apply to them.
This page explains the standard model. The specific agency agreement entered into is always decisive.German Money Laundering Act
Real-estate agents are obliged entities under the German Money Laundering Act. For a specific property purchase, Benderbal Immobilien must fulfil the statutory due-diligence duties.
The contracting parties, any persons acting on their behalf and beneficial owners, where applicable.
As soon as the parties have a serious interest in completing the brokered transaction and are sufficiently identified.
The required identity, representation and authority evidence is requested separately and securely – not through the initial enquiry form.
If the statutory due-diligence duties cannot be fulfilled, the business relationship may not be established or continued.
For letting or lease brokerage, the general due-diligence duties for real-estate agents apply from a monthly net rent or net lease of €10,000.
