Malines Group

What Malines Group does

Malines Group is a privately held, full-service real estate brokerage headquartered in Mechelen, Belgium, operating since 1992. The company serves individual buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords in the Mechelen region and broader Flemish municipalities (Mechelen, Blaasveld, Willebroek, Rotselaar, Boortmeerbeek, Puurs-Sint-Amands, and the Brussels periphery), with a stated geographic reach of approximately 20 km around its two physical offices and a recent extension into Spanish Mediterranean real estate (Costa del Sol/Costa Blanca). It reports 16 employees, 231 completed real estate transactions, and 285 properties sold or managed.

The firm operates three interconnected service lines. The core Malines Group platform handles brokerage sales and rentals with an in-house self-service online valuation tool, professional photography/video, and sales file preparation (EPC, electrical, soil, water certificates). Malines Rental, a wholly-owned subsidiary, provides dedicated rental management including tenant screening, contract drafting, property administration (rent collection, indexation, technical management), and inventory condition reports priced at €200-€330 per party. Malines Group Nieuwbouw commercializes new construction projects for developers, holding a portfolio of 35 active projects across multiple municipalities with units priced from €180,000 to €493,000. Technology is built on standard third-party SaaS integrations (Connective for qualified digital signatures, Rentio and Korfine for rental guarantees, Smooved for utility transfers, Mason.immo for owner portal) rather than proprietary systems.

Revenue is generated through transaction commissions on sales and rentals, recurring fees from rental management contracts, fixed fees for inventory condition reports, and project commercialization fees from developers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with traditional brokerage economics in the Flemish market. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via two physical offices, a corporate website, presence on major Belgian property portals (Immoweb, Immoscoop, Luxevastgoed), and an active social media presence including TikTok, supported by an email newsletter and offline signage.
