Estate agents in the Five Lakes Region — Sales with local market expertise

Berg is situated on the eastern shore of Lake Starnberg, south of Starnberg, and is known for its peaceful lakeside properties, dense tree canopy and close proximity to the shore. Villas and country houses with lake views or private lake access compete directly here for a small but affluent group of buyers, whilst hillside properties above the lake offer sweeping views and greater seclusion.

Feldafing, on the western shore of the lake, is regarded as one of the region’s most historic locations: the view of Roseninsel, the prestigious townscape and its proximity to Starnberg are complemented by a collection of older villas and manor houses. Plots with mature trees and direct access to the lake are rare. When selling a villa, therefore, factors such as the condition of the property, any listed building restrictions and its potential uses are just as important as the location.

Pöcking is situated between Starnberg and Feldafing and, unlike the areas directly on the lake, mainly offers properties with indirect lake views and good access. The properties range from older detached houses to newer estates. Buyers therefore regularly turn to this area when nothing is available in the front row along the lakeshore.

Tutzing, on the western shore of Lake Starnberg, has a distinct local character, with a market square, a monastery and a direct S-Bahn link to Munich. Historic buildings from the Gründerzeit era, modernised country houses and new-build properties stand side by side here. This diverse mix of properties appeals particularly to prospective buyers for whom the town centre, local amenities and lakeside location are equally important.

Seefeld, situated on the western shore of Lake Pilsensee and Lake Wessling, attracts less public attention than the towns on Lake Starnberg. The housing stock is quiet and consists of small properties. Its appeal lies in its distance from the hustle and bustle of Munich, without having to sacrifice access to the lake.

Inning, situated on the north-eastern shore of Lake Ammer, is characterised by its close proximity to the lake, its own infrastructure and a quieter property market than that of Lake Starnberg. Houses and country homes with views of the lake are typical of the area.

Herrsching am Ammersee boasts the best infrastructure on the eastern shore of the lake: an S-Bahn link, a lakeside resort, restaurants and cultural attractions make the town appealing to a wide range of buyers. Added to this are the lakeside promenade and its proximity to Andechs Abbey.

Dießen, one of the larger towns on Lake Ammersee, boasts an architectural landmark in the form of the Marienmünster. A tradition of craftsmanship and a vibrant cultural scene define the town’s distinctive character. The property market here is less heavily influenced by its lakeside location than in the towns on Lake Starnberg.

Before a valuation takes place, there is a discussion: what does the owner wish to achieve, when should the property be sold, and are there any preferences regarding a discreet or public marketing approach? These questions determine the strategy, not the other way round.

Dr Paul Schönberger or another RIEDEL adviser will visit the property in person and analyse its location, building condition, plot, access, legal framework (such as the local development plan, listed building status and easements), as well as comparable properties in the immediate vicinity.

Based on this analysis, RIEDEL produces a valuation that sets out a realistic price range, explains the factors influencing pricing and makes a specific recommendation regarding the marketing approach: discreetly via the buyer network, through selected Christie’s channels, or via a wider call for bids, depending on the owner’s priorities.

RIEDEL designs the property presentation (photographs, property description, texts) itself. Prospective buyers are targeted specifically from the database of interested parties and via the Christie’s network. Viewings are arranged and supervised; negotiations on the purchase price and coordination with the notary’s office form part of the standard procedure.
