Dagmar Faltis, CEO of Aroundhome, recommends using a real estate agent when selling a property.
A broker helps to set the right selling price, avoid time pressure and optimize the sales process.
The expert emphasizes the importance of complete documents, cosmetic improvements and the right emotional presentation of the property.
There is no question: Real estate is an emotional topic. Houses or apartments are usually not just four walls that frame a building. They are often walls full of memories, feelings and connections. Selling a property is therefore not always easy. Dagmar Faltis knows this. “When a lot of money is involved, emotions should not play a role,” says the CEO of AroundhomeFor this reason, the expert advises that you should definitely seek support from a broker when selling.
There are various reasons for this. “You just have to imagine that when you sell a property, lots of people are walking through your house, criticizing things and maybe not always acting in an appreciative manner. You have to be able to put up with that,” the expert stresses. Dagmar Faltis is convinced that an independent third party, i.e. a broker, can help in this situation.

Previously, the Berliner was part of the Immoscout24 management team. She says: “First and foremost, I am a digitization expert.” The topic of real estate came along over the course of her career, but she is still very enthusiastic about it.
In a recent conversation with Business Insider, the CEO explained how Generation Z investors can enter the real estate market with as little as 400 euros. She is keen to ensure that more young people in particular consider buying a suitable property. “When you're young, you have more options,” says Dagmar Faltis.
In terms of content, however, the expert not only deals with the purchase, but also with the sale of real estate. One thing is particularly important to her: “You should always sell with the help of an agent,” she says. The work of an agent is thorough. That is incredibly important when selling. “Nothing can be missing, otherwise there could be problems later. In the worst case, the buyer can still withdraw at the notary's office.”
