Secrets to Renting Your Dream Apartment in Munich
Are You Living Abroad in Germany or Planning to Move to Germany in the next 6 to 12 Months?
Beware!!! Munich Business Customs and Traditions Could Turn Your Once in a Lifetime Experience into a Nightmare.
If you are moving to Munich, Germany, I'd just like to say…
Congratulations on having the courage to take such a big step!
You're excited, the family's excited, your friends are jealous and you already have a job offer. You never ever expected to have such a huge opportunity. But, guess what? You have the opportunity and it's awesome!
You're going to live in Germany. YEAH!!!
Not so fast… You're about to get a FRIGHTENING WAKE UP CALL!
No. Not because you're throwing caution to the wind and pursuing a new life in Europe. That's awesome! You'll be the envy of all your friends. You'll have experiences that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
You'll finally have something interesting to post to your Facebook wall. Culturally, your children will be ahead of all your friends' children. From whatever angle you look at it, you're in a great place in your life right now.
But, if you're not well-informed, you're in for a SHOCK!
If you have already made the move and are currently living in Germany, you've already been slapped in the face with this reality.
There is one MAJOR obstacle that you might not even be aware of. Foreign visitor after foreign visitor have made these same mistakes. They've underestimated the necessity to prepare for the rental market in Munich. Many Americans (and other nationals) before you have horror stories to tell about housing in the Bavarian capital city of Munich.
Many of them find themselves still living out of a hotel six months down the line.
- Can you afford to spend thousands of dollars on hotel fees?
- Do you enjoy living out of a suitcase for a seemingly endless period of time?
- Over the next year, can you afford to pay the hotel rates you are currently paying as well as put enough aside to pay move-in costs when you do find a permanent apartment?
- Are you already desperate and ready to give up on that dream apartment of yours you're so eager to move into?
Many foreigners have to move back to their home country before they're ready to return because they've run out of money… because they are eating out every night without a kitchen to cook a meal in and save on food. No one told them about the challenges of finding an apartment in Germany.
Here's the bottom line…
Munich is not like Denver, New York, Los Angeles or any other American city when it comes to finding and leasing an apartment. In America, apartment hunting is pretty much the same no matter what state you move to.
In European cities, such as Munich, expectations and protocol for finding an apartment to rent are worlds apart from those in America.
For example, did you know that you will pay twice the commission for hiring a real estate agent even though you only get the services comparable to one agent?
Don't sell your home or sublet your apartment in your home country prematurely. You need to read this first.

This One of a Kind Resource Was Created from Personal Experiences, Interviews and Market Studies
If all you know about Germany is Oktoberfest, then you are in for a treat.
It's no wonder Munich, Germany is such a competitive marketplace for rental properties. You'll find everything from stunning attractions, world-class museums, delicious Bavarian food, to throbbing nightlife, and beer gardens.
I, myself, never want to leave Munich. The time arose when my family needed to move into a bigger property. That's when I was thrust into the chaos of Munich's rental market.
My family and I were planning a move to a bigger house and we needed to rent out the apartment that we had moved from. I was shocked (pleasantly) to discover that I was in the driver's seat as the landlady.
24 hours after posting my listing online, my two bedroom flat had raked in 35 inquiries. I had to remove the ad so that I could catch up with all the calls and emails that I was receiving.
I had planned to re-post it once I had gone through the initial inquiries. But after 23 visits in one week, there was no need to re-post the listing. I had my pick of the litter of who I wanted to rent my flat to.
I learned two important lessons which led me to dabble in real estate more seriously:
The Landlord is in the driving seat.
Foreigners have no idea how competitive apartment searches in Munich can be.
In Munich, the landlady makes the rules. There are far more people who want to live in beautiful apartments in the center of the capital, but there aren't nearly as many properties available to accommodate the demand.
Before you can get a Mietvertrag (rental agreement) that secures your dream apartment, the landlord has to find favor in you over potentially a hundred other applicants.
The best properties can be snatched up before you can even call to inquire about it.
How do you compete to find the best apartment for your family's needs when the competition is so fierce?
Native Germans Only Have One Advantage Over Foreigners… They Know the System
It's especially hard for foreigners for several reasons.
You may not speak German, the owners may not speak English
You just arrived in Germany and don't have any references
Your nationality may have a bad image
For Americans in particular, the reality of the apartment search atmosphere in Germany may be a hard pill to swallow.
Even if you took a course on basic German language, you're still going to have a problem with the more technical terms.
However, your fluency in the language isn't going to make up for the fact that you most likely won't have any German references. Your native counterparts will have one leg up on you already in a marketplace where you're already at a disadvantage.
You can't change your ethnicity, but it could work against you if you don't know how to offset the perceptions that the landlord may have about people from your same background.
Off course there are laws to safeguard you from this kind of discrimination. But the truth is that it still happens everywhere. How do you know whether the landlord has negative preconceived notions about your ethnicity and how do you overcome that?
It may sound different than you're used to, but the landlord has to like you more than the other applicants before you can get the apartment. Your credit worthiness is not enough to secure the apartment for you.
Usually if you want to rent an apartment you can either ask a real estate agent to help avoid these pitfalls. The problem in that is that German real estate agents can be very expensive.

Important Note: The natural tendency for new residents is to look for a real estate agent to help with the transition into the new city. The belief is that the real estate agent knows the terrain more than the new resident. In Munich, there is more to hiring a real estate agent. The real estate agents always work for the landlord and will be virtually useless in protecting your interests, plus you'll incur twice the fees.
If for no other reason, you must access this guide by clicking the link on the bottom of the page, so you can understand the phenomenon of working with a real estate agent in Germany.

The other way new arrivals avoid the pitfalls or costs associated with real estate agents is by relying on connections.
If you're willing and able to pay any price, you can easily have your dream apartment without worrying about the competition.
If you don't have unlimited financial resources, a real estate agent in Germany that you can trust, or connections that you can rely on click the link at the bottom of this page and you can also avoid the pitfalls that most foreigners consider the worst learning curve EVER.
