Your property management business in good hands.
You have built up a property management company over many years and are now thinking about succession. PANI buys property management businesses in Berlin: the whole company or individual managed portfolios. We pay a fair price and carry your life's work on with the same care, personally and with regard for the people who are part of it. Every conversation stays confidential, from the first call.
It is about more than a number.
Handing over a property management business means handing over more than contracts and files. Behind it stand owners who have trusted you for years, staff who keep the business running and a reputation that has grown over a long time.
We want this transition to be orderly, and we want nobody to be left on their own afterwards. We buy in order to manage for the long term ourselves, not to sell on for a quick return.
Property managers ourselves. Not an anonymous buyer.
PANI is a personally led property management company with an office in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. We look after buildings across Berlin, today more than 500 units: owners’ associations, rental buildings and individually owned flats, as well as Zinshäuser for investors and long-term holders.
Niclas Paprocki comes from a family that has managed buildings for generations and is responsible for properties and operations. Paul Harm is responsible for finance and strategy and brings experience of valuations and transactions from investment banking. At PANI, you speak with the owners, not with an intermediary.

Outlook
Carrying on, not winding down
We take over in order to stay. We continue portfolios, processes and points of contact and develop them with the coming years in mind.
Fairly valued, individually structured.
Every offer is based on a valuation in line with the market, and we show you how we arrive at it: which figures we look at, how we weight them and where we make assumptions. Our experience of valuations and transactions from investment banking helps here.
There is no standard contract for everyone. How the handover is structured depends on your situation and your wishes.
How the handover works.
Initial discussion
We get to know each other, as equals and in confidence. You tell us what matters to you. We explain how we work.
Indicative offer
After reviewing a few key figures, you receive a non-binding indication of how we value your business.
Detailed review
We take a closer look at contracts, portfolios and processes. All documents are treated in confidence.
Contract and notarisation
We agree the purchase agreement and its terms together. Depending on the structure, the transaction is notarised.
Joint start
Together with you, we inform staff, owners and partners and organise the transition step by step.
Common questions about succession.
Will my interest in selling remain confidential?
Yes. From the first conversation, we treat your interest and all documents in confidence. If you wish, we sign a confidentiality agreement before the detailed review. Staff, owners and partners only learn of the handover once you decide this together with us.
What happens to my staff?
We want your team to stay. Your staff know the properties and the owners, and this knowledge is essential for a good transition. We discuss the continuation of employment openly and early with you.
How do owners and clients learn about the change?
Together with you, and at a time we agree. We introduce ourselves in person, explain what stays the same and what changes, and name fixed points of contact. How existing management contracts are handled depends on the structure of the handover and is clarified with you.
Can I stay involved for a while after the handover?
Yes, if you wish. A transition period in which you introduce us to owners and pass on your knowledge helps everyone involved. We agree the scope and duration with you.
Which documents are enough for an initial assessment?
For an indicative offer, a few details are usually sufficient: the number of units and properties under management, the split between owners’ associations, rental buildings and individual flats, the annual management fees and the number of staff. We only look at detailed documents during the detailed review.
How long does a handover take?
This depends on the structure of your company, the completeness of the documents and your own expectations. After the initial discussion, we give you a realistic timeframe and agree the timetable with you.
Speak directly with the owners.
