About us

An office on Lychener Straße. For more than 20 years.

Herbert + Kohlmeyer is an owner-run estate agency in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. Small enough that you always speak to the same person. Experienced enough that this person has known the market through more than 900 sales.

Approach

Our word is our bond.

Mindful of tradition and open to the world: our work rests on values older than any portal. Trust and reliability come first – towards our clients as much as towards the people who buy with us.

In Berlin we have sold more than 900 flats to owner-occupiers and investors – new-builds for first occupancy as well as rented period flats. We have placed blocks of flats, developments and building plots with investors and found the right buyers for commercial property. Most of it in Prenzlauer Berg, Pankow and Mitte – the part of the city we truly know.

Properties sold: 900+flats, houses and plots sold since the company was founded
Client reviews: 150+reviews from buyers and sellers
years: 20+years owner-run at the same address in Prenzlauer Berg

Team

Two people, no hotline.

Anyone who calls us speaks to someone who knows your property – not a call centre. That is why we stay small.

Helge Gebhardt

What we stand for

A different kind of estate agent. On principle.

No open-house viewings

We are considerate – of you, your tenants and the people interested in your property. Individual appointments, vetted buyers, no crowding on the stairs.

Straight talking

We work transparently and on fair terms. Tell us what you need, and we will tell you honestly what we can do for you – and what we cannot.

We work for both sides

A sale is only a good sale when seller and buyer part on good terms after the notary appointment. Many of yesterday’s buyers are today’s sellers.

We speak your language

And that of your buyers. Our team is multilingual and internationally minded – buyers from abroad are everyday in Prenzlauer Berg.

We belong to the neighbourhood

More than 20 years at the same address. We support the Arbeiterwohlfahrt, the local youth association and neighbourhood charities – because we do not just work here, we live here.
