Property in the Hochsauerlandkreis
From Arnsberg to Winterberg: we are regularly out and about in the Sauerland, bringing houses, farmsteads and holiday homes together with the right people — whether you are selling or letting.
The market
One region, twelve markets
The Hochsauerlandkreis is owner-occupier country: across all twelve towns and municipalities the owner-occupancy rate lies between 46 and 66%, and one- and two-family homes account for 80 to 92% of the housing stock. What is sold here is rarely "just some property" — more often it is the family home, the farmstead, the house with a large plot. Decisions like these need time, and a partner who does not push.
At the same time, the differences within the district are considerable: the medians of the official guideline land values (Bodenrichtwerte) for residential land range from around €34/m² in Hallenberg and Medebach to €173/m² in Arnsberg. In Winterberg and Schmallenberg, the tourist market comes into play as well — holiday and second homes draw interest from far beyond the region, right up to buyers from the Netherlands. Winterberg is one of the few municipalities in the district that is growing (+4.4% residents over five years). What your property is worth therefore depends very much on where it stands and whom it can appeal to. That is exactly what we clarify before the sale — with official data and an honest conversation.
Lettings
Letting in the Sauerland
Letting is part of what we do, too — from an apartment in Arnsberg, Meschede or Brilon to a holiday home in Winterberg. Rent levels range from around €4.50 to €5.60/m² net cold depending on the municipality; the spread may seem small, but getting the calibration right is what decides between reliable income and a vacancy. We set the rent on the basis of data, vet applicants carefully and see the letting through to the handover.
For your future tenants, our service is commission-free thanks to the "polluter-pays" commission principle (Bestellerprinzip) — in rural areas in particular, an argument that broadens the pool of applicants.

Frequently asked questions
What owners most often ask
What is my house in the Sauerland worth?
The ranges are wide — across the district the median guideline land values (Bodenrichtwerte) run from around €34 to €173/m², and condition, plot and location make the difference. We value your property free of charge on the basis of official data and current market data — and tell you honestly what is realistic.
What will the sale cost me?
The initial consultation and valuation are free. The agent's commission only becomes due upon a successful sale — and we agree the amount with you transparently in advance.
What costs are involved in letting?
For residential lettings, the "polluter-pays" commission principle (Bestellerprinzip) applies: you, the landlord, commission us, and your tenants pay no commission. We set out the terms transparently in advance during the initial consultation — with no hidden costs.
I've inherited a house. Where do I start?
With a free valuation and a conversation with no time pressure. We show you the options — selling, letting, or simply waiting for now — and you decide at your own pace.
How do you find buyers for rural locations?
Through our pool of more than 20,000 contacts reaching beyond the region — including prospective buyers from the Rhineland and the Ruhr area — and through cooperation with local agent colleagues. One instruction, every avenue covered.
Can I have a holiday home sold or let?
Both. In Winterberg and Schmallenberg in particular, there is demand from beyond the region for holiday and second homes. We will discuss honestly in the initial consultation what is realistic for your property.
Do you also look after small villages and outlying districts?
Yes, all twelve towns and municipalities of the Hochsauerlandkreis, including their outlying districts. We are out and about in the region on a regular basis.
