First Citiz Berlin is a Berlin-based real estate agency specialising in helping expats and international professionals find apartments and properties in the capital. The agency understands the particular challenges that international buyers and renters face in Berlin’s competitive and fast-moving property market.
For renters, First Citiz provides targeted apartment search support — identifying suitable listings, coordinating viewings, and supporting the application process with the documents and presentation approach most likely to succeed with German landlords. In a market where dozens of applicants may compete for a single apartment, professional support in crafting a compelling application is genuinely valuable.
For buyers, the agency provides access to Berlin’s broad property market — from new build apartments in emerging neighbourhoods to pre-war Altbau buildings in established areas. The team guides international clients through the purchase process, including connecting them with English-speaking notaries, mortgage advisers, and property lawyers.
First Citiz’s English-language service covers the full client journey from initial search to key handover, providing the continuity and local expertise that makes the difference between a stressful property experience and a successful one in an unfamiliar market.
