MSI Gewerbeimmobilien GmbH

What MSI Gewerbeimmobilien GmbH does

MSI Gewerbeimmobilien GmbH is an independent commercial real estate brokerage firm headquartered in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, founded in 2007 and operating in the surrounding Upper Rhine/Baden-Württemberg corridor including Karlsruhe since 2014. The firm brokers the purchase, sale, and rental of commercial properties — offices, retail, warehouses, industrial halls, and production sites — serving property owners, investors, and commercial tenants. It complements brokerage with a stack of advisory services including market screening, location analysis, DIA-certified property valuation, data room creation, expert inspections, due diligence, interim property management, and a dedicated Sale and Lease Back advisory line. The company also publishes the MSI Immobilienreport Gewerbe, an annual market analysis for the regional commercial sector.

Revenue is generated entirely on a transaction-fee basis. Standard rental commissions are 3 net monthly cold rents plus VAT, while purchase commissions are object-specific. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining direct personal consulting, a website with 25 active listings, syndication on ImmobilienScout24, organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), email newsletter, and a strategic partnership with Swiss consultancy Board Advisors AG to serve Swiss investors seeking German commercial real estate. MSI explicitly positions itself as independent of banks, insurance carriers, and corporate conglomerates, targeting the German Mittelstand and cross-border Swiss clients. The firm operates with a small core team of five (Managing Director Raoul Röder, Prokurist Michael Wierzbicki, plus back-office and project management) supplemented by DIA-certified experts, architects, and geographers. There is no proprietary technology, no software products, no AI capabilities, and no disclosed funding or institutional ownership.
