Homefinding in Germany
ProfOrg provides end-to-end relocation and immigration services – a key factor is finding the right home in a tight, competitive market. Here are key pitfalls – and how we help:
“I saw plenty online.” The challenge isn’t finding listings – it’s being chosen. We represent employees professionally, ask the right questions, translate contracts, and help avoid hidden issues.
Unrealistic expectations. Many newcomers map their current standard onto Germany. We set expectations early – with empathy and clarity – identifying realistic options and smart compromises.
Negotiating like back home. In Germany, aggressive haggling can shut doors. We strike the right balance to secure fair terms and market rent without jeopardising the deal.
Speed & timing. Good homes can go within hours. We monitor the market, organise fast viewings, and submit complete, compelling applications first time.
Costly surprises when moving out. We document the property at handover, ensure issues are addressed, and explain tenant duties (e.g. repainting, professional cleaning) so costs don’t bite later.
With 40+ years’ experience, ISO-certified processes, and a nationwide network, ProfOrg makes homefinding not just possible, but successful.

Moving means trust.
Moving is much more than simply carrying a box from A to B. Since our founding in 1904, we at Ludwig Hofmann jr. GmbH & Co. KG have grown from a traditional moving company into a modern relocation and logistics specialist based in Frankfurt.

Ei Gude and welcome to Mainhatten!
The best news first: You have chosen a fantastic piece of Germany for your new chapter! The Rhine-Main region is economically attractive, diverse, and full of opportunities. However, in order to truly enjoy all of this, you need a place to switch off and recharge.

SRR Group: The strong foundation for the Rhine-Main region
When you move to the vibrant Rhine-Main region, you are not only looking for a new home, but also for a community and the right partners to help you settle in and get your career off to a good start.
How to find the right place for you
One of the first things newcomers have to do is find somewhere to live. Housing in Frankfurt Rhine-Main is pretty affordable compared to other international cities, but you‘ll have to put in the effort to find the right place.
How to Apartment Hunt
When looking for a property, it always helps to dress for the occasion. Due to the shortage in the housing market, landlords often choose between several candidates.
Registration
Germany, you‘ll soon discover, is a very well-run country. But bureaucracy is a price for keeping a well-run operation.
Residency and Work Permits
Citizens of the EU, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, are permitted to work and live in Germany without a work or residence permit.
Choosing a Relocation Agency
The range of services on offer to assist in international relocations is extensive, but not all of the services will be applicable to every expatriate.
Moving with Children
Even if your belongings have arrived on time and your house hunt has gone well, it’s important to make sure your kids feel at home.
Getting Married in Germany
If you become smitten with love during your stay in Germany, there is a chance you’ll want to get married.
Nannies
Often, international families hire a profession nanny to help look after small children, particularly if both parents are in full-time employment.
