Our Key People… A Blend of Diverse Cultures
Having worked since 1992 in the German Property Market I have had some ‘interesting’ experiences; Most good, some bad, a lot happy, some not so.. (a true-life-mix). The one common factor to overcoming tough situations and adversity, in-order to move forward, is the importance of having good people around you. We all need help at times and as an Englishman in a foreign land, Germany, I knew my limitations and leaned on the experience and knowledge of people that I am now privileged to have as colleagues….
Walter our Commercial Director is as American as ‘Apple-Pie’ and mixes a Lawyer’s sense of balance with a pragmatic approach to getting things done. His local knowledge of the small things that work, here in Germany, has been critical in overcoming seemingly insurmountable hurdles. A dry sense of humour also goes a long way….and keeps us all sane and grounded…
Our Property Management expertise is embodied in Markus, a German national, with intimate local knowledge and a network of expert contacts. In his early years he travelled the world extensively and combines those multi-cultural experiences with a stoic German attention-to-detail that ‘oils-the-wheels’ of what is the complex process of managing a large portfolio of properties.
These diverse backgrounds underpin the essence that is GermanHouses.de, a strong blend of different cultures that deliver the Customer experience that helps differentiate us from the crowd, in a market not known for innovation or a service-focused approach (all things that we embrace).
A good business is only as good as it’s happy Customers…. We look forward to welcoming you on your journey with GermanHouses.de….
