What Best Place does

Best Place Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG is a Berlin-based, founder-controlled independent real estate sales platform that markets and sells exclusive condominium projects on behalf of property developers and portfolio owners. Founded in 2014 and led by Managing Directors Danny Wolf (founder) and Nikolai Dombrowski, the company operates a multi-city footprint across four major German metropolitan markets — Berlin (HQ), Munich, Frankfurt, and Hamburg — with additional listings reaching Potsdam, Rügen, Alicante (Spain), and Dubai. Its flagship differentiator is the interactive "Immobilien-Erlebniswelt" showroom at Unter den Linden 39 in Berlin, the city's first real estate experience world featuring touch-screen exploration of available projects, complemented by consultation appointments bookable through an online scheduling system.

The company sells individual condominium projects (named projects include The Mind, Hey Charlottenburg, Sunday Village, and Sophie & Charlotte) priced from approximately €279,000 to over €1 million, spanning compact 1-room apartments to 5-room penthouses and maisonettes. Annual transaction volume exceeds €270 million across new-build and existing properties, sourced from a diversified mandate base of developers and portfolio owners and distributed to a fragmented buyer base of owner-occupiers and capital investors.

Best Place monetizes primarily through transaction commissions on property sales, supplemented by ancillary professional services: real estate financing referrals, chauffeur service for property viewings and notary appointments, rental management, and WEG/Sondereigentumsverwaltung (condominium and freehold property administration). It markets through a multi-channel approach combining the website, an editorial Best Blog, social media (Facebook, Instagram), a newsletter that grants subscribers one-week pre-sale access to new projects before public listing, podcast appearances, and event sponsorships (including the Diana-Trial at Fashion Raceday Hoppegarten). The company holds multiple International Property Awards and a 2022 Kununu Top Company workplace recognition, and operates a dual-study talent pipeline with Berliner Hochschule für Technik.
