PARAT GmbH

What PARAT GmbH does

PARAT GmbH operates as a dual-entity property management and real-estate group based in Berlin, Germany. The group is composed of two legally separate limited liability companies (GmbH): PARAT Grundstücksverwaltung GmbH, founded in 1996, and PARAT Liegenschaften GmbH, founded in 1994 and taken over by the current managing shareholders in early 1999. Together they manage a combined portfolio of approximately 87 residential and mixed-use properties spread across eight Berlin districts — Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg, Wilmersdorf, Charlottenburg, Lichtenberg, Zehlendorf, and Schöneberg. Roughly two-thirds of the portfolio is comprised of Wohnungseigentumsanlagen (WEA, condominium complexes), including assets sourced from German mortgage banks (Hypothekenbanken); the remainder is concentrated on extensively renovated Altbau (heritage) buildings converted to individual ownership. The customer base spans mid-market individual property owners, residential homeowner associations (Wohnungseigentümergemeinschaften), and select institutional clients.

The group's offering is organized into three service modules: Immobilienverwaltung (full administration covering cost planning, transparent accounting, legal counsel, owner representation, monthly reporting, service-charge calculation, debt collection, and rental management); Instandhaltung und Instandsetzung (maintenance and repair coordination including warranty monitoring and repair budgeting); and Kontaktpflege und Erreichbarkeit (owner liaison plus a 24-hour emergency hotline). Operations are run on flexible property management software configured per client, with no disclosed proprietary platform, AI components, or external technology integrations; the only disclosed technology is routine administrative software that supports standard WEA accounting and reporting workflows.

Revenue is generated through individually negotiated managed-service fees charged to property owners and housing communities; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, relying on personal outreach, founder-led relationships, and reputation-driven referrals rather than digital marketing or channel partners. The group operates with a small combined workforce of 15 employees — 10 at Grundstücksverwaltung (which doubles as a formal Ausbildungsbetrieb, training company) and 5 at Liegenschaften — under unified leadership by managing partners Ralf Michalak and Hans-Joachim Paschke, both with continuous housing-industry tenure since the early 1990s. The company is privately held with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds.

Regional players

• degewo AG: Berlin municipal housing company managing ~75,000 apartments primarily in central Berlin. Comparable as a Berlin-focused residential property manager serving both owner-occupier and rental housing, though operating at municipal scale.
• WBM Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte mbH: Berlin municipal housing company managing ~33,000 apartments concentrated in central Berlin districts. Comparable as a Berlin-focused residential property manager with similar administrative services to PARAT's Wohnungseigentumsanlage focus.
• Gesobau AG: Berlin municipal housing company managing ~45,000 apartments in the northern Berlin districts. Comparable as a Berlin-focused residential manager operating across similar districts (including Wilmersdorf) to PARAT.

Emerging players

• Accentro Real Estate AG: Berlin-focused residential real estate company specializing in the privatization of residential portfolios and Altbau conversions to condominium ownership. Highly comparable to PARAT Liegenschaften's Altbau conversion specialization, though now operating as part of the Adler Group.

Broad incumbents

• Vonovia SE: Germany's largest residential property company with ~500,000 apartments across Germany, including a major Berlin footprint after absorbing Deutsche Wohnen. Comparable as a residential property manager, but operates at vastly greater scale and across multiple German cities.
• Deutsche Wohnen SE: Berlin-headquartered residential landlord and manager with a portfolio heavily concentrated in the German capital. Comparable to PARAT in its Berlin focus and residential management services, but operates at much larger scale; now a Vonovia subsidiary.
• Adler Group S.A. German residential real estate company managing a portfolio of ~70,000 units across Germany with meaningful Berlin exposure through Accentro. Comparable as a German residential manager, though substantially larger and currently undergoing balance-sheet restructuring.

Direct peers

• TAG Immobilien AG: German residential property company with a significant Berlin and northern Germany portfolio, including the former ACCO Immobilien book. Directly comparable as a mid-sized German residential landlord and manager with Berlin exposure.
• Grand City Properties S.A. Berlin-focused residential real estate company that owns and manages a portfolio of multi-family properties primarily in North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin. Comparable mid-market positioning and Berlin-centric geographic focus to PARAT's model.
• Aigner Immobilien GmbH: Mid-sized German property management firm offering WEG administration, rental management, and facility management for residential portfolios. Comparable to PARAT in mid-market positioning and service scope, though geographically more concentrated in Bavaria.
