Moving To Germany – Home Search

/in , , by

Home Search in Germany – One of the Biggest Challenges When Moving to Germany

International Moving is an exciting step, but it can quickly become stressful – especially when it comes to finding a home in Germany.

How do we find suitable accommodation when relocating to Germany?

Through:
👉 an experienced relocation expert team operating throughout Germany
👉 in-depth knowledge of local real estate markets and regional specifics
👉 established contacts with real estate agents and landlords, including access to listings before they are publicly advertised
👉 professional review and realistic assessment of housing offers, including awareness of typical fraud risks
👉 structured communication between all parties involved, even in cases of language barriers
👉 professional support when SCHUFA records or income documentation are missing

Housing search is only one part of our holistic relocation process. We support companies and international employees with all aspects of relocation – including the move itself.

For HR departments and responsible specialist teams, this means:

A centrally managed relocation process.

International Moving Company DONATH Receives Partnership Award 2025

A clear signal for trust, collaboration, and international performance

At this year’s one-group, European Alliance convention in Siena, we were recognized for our development in international cooperation and business growth.

We were honored to receive the Partnership Improvement Award 2025, presented to the member company with the strongest year-on-year increase in business volume within the global network.

This recognition reflects the trust our partners place in us – and confirms our approach of combining high-quality service with long-term collaboration across borders.

As a family-run company with over a century of experience, we know that real growth isn’t just about numbers. It’s about relationships, clear communication, and delivering consistent value in every single move and relocation we manage.

We’re grateful to the one-group, European Alliance team for the recognition – and to all our international partners for their continued support and cooperation.

We look ahead to 2026 with confidence, energy, and the motivation to keep improving.

We’re now a member of GARP – the German Association of Relocation Professionals

Strengthening industry standards through collaboration

This year, we became an official member of GARP – the German Association of Relocation Professionals. As part of this network, we join other relocation providers in Germany who are committed to professional standards, transparency, and quality in all aspects of destination and mobility services.

What is GARP?
GARP (German Association of Relocation Professionals) is an industry organization that brings together companies and individuals who work in the field of relocation, destination services, and global mobility. The association promotes:

  • Quality standards and professional development
  • Transparency and ethical business practices
  • Knowledge exchange and networking
  • Representation of the industry’s interests in dialogue with companies, policymakers, and partners

Members include relocation providers of all sizes, as well as related service providers and consultants working with international transferees.

Why it matters
Being part of GARP gives us access to valuable dialogue, joint initiatives, and peer exchange – all with the aim of improving services for companies and their employees navigating international moves.

In a world that’s increasingly mobile and complex, shared standards and open communication are key. We believe in contributing to a strong, unified voice for the relocation industry in Germany – and GARP is the right platform to support that goal.

We look forward to working with fellow members and helping shape the future of relocation together.
