In Frankfurt and throughout Hesse, the standard real estate agent’s commission is typically between 5.95% and 7.14% of the purchase price (including VAT). Since the new legal regulations took effect, this commission for residential properties is generally split equally between the seller and the buyer.

The sale is completely tax-free if you have owned the property for at least 10 years (expiration of the statutory capital gains period). If you can prove that you lived in the house or apartment yourself in the year of the sale as well as in the two preceding years, the tax is waived even much earlier. If neither the owner-occupancy requirement nor the 10-year period is met, the profit must be taxed at your personal income tax rate.
