Property purchase & broker behavior: Is this normal?

Oh, you meant the Barthel tips :) Sure - village pub, baker and so on, everything works a bit differently at the moment. But garbage bins are emptied as usual, and also undertakers, care services and divorce lawyers are consistently better "target group owners" than real estate agents (in whose circles I still consider competence and seriousness to be exceptions).

Exactly!
We were also on site again today and wandered a bit through the "alleys" to look for houses ready for demolition. Then we got the idea whether it would make sense to make "Handwurfzettel" to throw into the mailboxes.
The disadvantage is, of course, that for such houses often no one empties the mailbox anymore. But it would be worth a try.

We have now also spoken to the guy from the car workshop opposite.
He is not the owner ;)
But he said that apparently a "Baufirma" has bought the property and plans a semi-detached house....Mhm...
Also, we were given the tip that the neighbor is probably not the youngest anymore, and the house next door might also be available soon :D
However, they haven’t spotted an enormous number of interested parties on the property yet.

The realtor also got back to us with some information. Yes, the documents (i.e., the land register excerpt) will hopefully be available soon... regarding the trees: yes, they can be cut down, the arrangement of the carports as we wish would also be possible... and she would also be happy if we solve this together... Well.. We’re staying on it!

This thought, as far as I recall, was the one whose commentary opened my Barthel cycle (the links usually bounce, then you have to turn "Threads" back into "threads"). The person dealing with the topic of occupied or unoccupied houses returns to that later with the garbage collection.

Nice, another step forward.

The real estate agent also got back to us with some information once again. [...] regarding the trees: yes, they can be cut down,

Blah blah. I believe every word a real estate agent says exclusively against collateral.

Ah! Yes, now I see the thread too. I struggled with the search function for a while.

I have also had to take the detour via external search engines several times when "egogugeling" here, haha.

Blah blah. I believe every word from realtors only against a deposit.

Yep. Realtors also cannot make any reliable statements regarding the placement of the carport on the property. Take note of statements. But never rely on them.

We got our property through knocking on neighbors' doors. It is very tedious and often frustrating. But as a result, after 3 months we had our property (and even had a second option). In an area where the market is practically swept clean and others who rely only on Immoscout and municipal properties have been searching for years...
