Property Search: 7 Tips for a Successful Search

The Property Search Can Be Challenging

Especially in popular cities, competition is fierce. With the right preparation and strategy, however, you can significantly increase your chances.

1. Have Documents Ready Early

Create a folder with all relevant documents:

• ID card or passport
• Pay slips from the last 3 months
• Credit report (Schufa or equivalent)
• Rental reference from current landlord
• Employment contract or termination confirmation

2. Set Realistic Expectations

Think in advance: What really matters to you? Location, size, price – rarely does everything fit perfectly. Prioritize your criteria.

3. React Quickly

For popular properties, speed often matters. Enable notifications and respond promptly to new listings.

4. Complete Your Profile Fully

On WOHNO, your tenant profile counts. The more complete and honest your information, the better we can recommend matching properties.

5. Prepare for the Viewing

Note down questions and systematically check the property – from heating to potential noise sources.

6. Stay Patient

The perfect property doesn't appear overnight. Stay persistent and use matching platforms like WOHNO for more targeted results.

7. Stay Flexible

Sometimes a compromise is worth it – perhaps a different area or a slightly higher budget for more living quality.
