Caesar Behrendt Immobilien

What Caesar Behrendt Immobilien does

Artur Caesar Behrendt Immobilien KG is a Berlin-based, family-owned real estate firm founded on April 21, 1888, organized as a Kommanditgesellschaft (limited partnership) registered in Berlin-Charlottenburg under HRA 56895B. The company describes itself as Berlin's oldest real estate firm and is currently in its sixth generation of family ownership, led by managing director Alexander Caesar Behrendt (5th generation) and his daughters Anastasia Caecila and Alicia Caelina Behrendt (6th generation, the first female partners in company history). Headcount is reported as 11–50 employees, with the headquarters at Hohenzollerndamm 169, Berlin.

The company's offerings comprise investment property brokerage (including off-market transactions in residential and commercial buildings, hotel properties, warehouses, and logistics halls across Germany), residential sales (condominiums, townhouses, villas), rental intermediation, project sales support for developers, free property valuation, and recurring property management for Mietshäuser (rental buildings) and office/commercial spaces. The technology base is conventional rather than proprietary: a WordPress website with property search and inquiry forms, Google Analytics, MailChimp newsletters, Borlabs Cookie for GDPR compliance, and Zoom/TeamViewer for virtual client meetings; there are no disclosed patents, APIs, or proprietary AI systems.

Revenue is generated primarily through brokerage commissions of 7.14% (including 19% VAT) on transaction value—split equally between buyer and seller for residential properties and borne fully by the buyer for investment deals—payable upon notarized purchase contract signing, supplemented by recurring property management fees. Go-to-market is relationship-led and discretion-driven, emphasizing the firm's 138+ year track record (cumulative transaction volume of more than €3 billion) and an "exponential network" of off-market buyers and sellers; this is reinforced by content marketing (blog), social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), email newsletters, SEO, and partnerships with ImmoScout24 and the Ring Deutscher Makler (RDM) broker association.

Direct peers

• Engel & Völkers: Hamburg-headquartered German luxury real estate brokerage with a strong Berlin franchise. Directly comparable to ACB on luxury residential, investment brokerage, and international investor reach — but at much larger scale.
• von Poll Immobilien: German premium real estate brokerage with a presence in Berlin, focused on upscale residential and investment properties. Comparable on luxury positioning and commission-based brokerage model; operates more franchises across Germany and Europe.
• ZIEGERT Immobilien: Berlin-based premium real estate broker specializing in new-build project marketing and high-end sales. Direct competitor to ACB on project sales support for developers and luxury resale brokerage in the Berlin market.
• Berlin Sotheby's International Realty: Luxury residential brokerage in Berlin affiliated with the Sotheby's global brand. Competes with ACB on high-net-worth villa, penthouse, and premium property transactions in Berlin's prime districts.

Emerging players

• McMakler: Berlin-based digital-first real estate brokerage using technology-driven lead generation and a hybrid agent model. Represents the new wave of brokerages competing with traditional firms like ACB on efficiency and digital customer acquisition.
• Homeday: German full-service real estate broker with a tech-enabled agent network, focused on simplifying the sale process. Competes with ACB on residential brokerage but targets a more mainstream customer segment.
• Möblis: Berlin-based online real estate brokerage offering flat-fee and reduced-commission sales. Targets the same private-seller segment as ACB but with a digital value proposition that pressures traditional commission structures.

Broad incumbents

• Dr. Klein Privatkunden AG: Germany-wide real estate financing and brokerage services firm with deep branch network. Overlaps with ACB on residential brokerage and investment property intermediation, but operates at much greater scale with broader financial services.
• PlanetHome Group: German real estate services firm covering brokerage, financing, and investment advisory. Comparable to ACB on residential brokerage and investor services but with national coverage and institutional capabilities ACB lacks.

Others

• ImmoScout24: Germany's largest real estate listing platform and a channel partner for ACB (which holds the Vermittlungsprofi seal). Not a direct competitor but the dominant marketplace where ACB and its peers source leads and listings.
