new shops von Poll Immobilien opened between 2014 and 2017 on average per year
von Poll Immobilien has created a profitable and very scalable platform over recent years. The company has therefore developed an excellent foundation from which it can take advantage of existing potential and increase its share in a fragmented market.
PROFILE
Founded in 2000, von Poll Immobilien is an estate agency that focuses on high-quality residential properties in the Rhine-Main area. Over the years, von Poll Immobilien has become one of the leading agency platforms in its segment in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The company’s network today comprises some 280 offices across Germany and ten further European countries. Almost all shops are operated by independent sales partners. More than 800 estate agents work under the von Poll Immobilien brand. The companys‘ headquarter provides them with training, marketing materials and many other support. Together, they offer customers real estate services around the mediation of stable residential and commercial real estate in preferred locations. Among other things this includes the free, non-binding market price estimate.
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT
In a macroeconomic climate currently following a consistently positive trend, the agency is be-nefiting from increased demand for high-quality residential property in cities, metropolitan areas and holiday destinations. It is therefore expected that von Poll Immobilien will continue to grow by opening new and expand existing offices, and to expand on its market position, particularly outside of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its first targets will be European markets such as Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, the UK and Poland. Further focal points for the development of the company are the further digitisation of the business and the strengthening of the brand.
FINANCIAL YEAR 2018
Since the start of the investment in July 2018, von Poll Immobilien has pushed ahead with measures to exploit the existing market potential. In the financial year 2018, the company is expected to increase both its revenues and its earnings compared to the previous year under continued favourable macroeconomic conditions.
