Real Estate

The attractiveness and the associated professionalization of the real estate industry, its internationalization and the increase in transaction volumes have not only led to a further development of methods and standards, but also to an increasing complexity of real estate-related issues.

Isolated viewing methods no longer meet this increasing complexity. Rather, a holistic, interdisciplinary approach around the property is required to master the future challenges of the real estate market.

In order to meet the increasing demands, the specific know-how of the audit, tax, business services & outsourcing and advisory departments is bundled in the BDO Competence Center Real Estate. Our experts have extensive industry expertise and the necessary many years of experience to assist you professionally. The individual needs of our clients are always the focus of attention, regardless of whether concerning corporations, banks, institutional or private investors or the public sector.

Our networking ensures that all problems are competently recorded and processed into a holistic solution concept. Based on the findings, conclusions and options for action are clearly visible to you.
