Property management in the Rhine-Main region.

Frankfurt’s housing stock is unusually mixed. Nordend, Bornheim, Sachsenhausen and Westend are full of late nineteenth-century buildings with ornate façades, timber-beam ceilings and pipework that has been patched more than once. Many outer districts are dominated by post-war and 1960s and 70s blocks that now face their first major energy refurbishment. New districts like the Europaviertel or Riedberg bring a different task: warranty periods that must be checked before they expire.

Landlords also deal with local rules. The Frankfurt rent index (Mietspiegel) is the basis for rent increases under § 558 of the German Civil Code (BGB), and several districts, including Nordend and Bornheim, are covered by conservation statutes under § 172 of the Federal Building Code. There, structural alterations and many modernisation projects require approval from the city.

Many of our references are in Frankfurt: a 54-unit association in Nied where we cleared substantial service-charge arrears, a 24-unit period building in Nordend, 30 rental flats near the main station and a new building that combines flats with a fire station.

Our head office is at Mühlstraße 36 in Eschborn, between Frankfurt and the Taunus hills, and since October 2026 we have a second office in Mannheim for the Rhine-Neckar region. From these two offices we manage properties throughout both regions, and each city has its own character.

• Offenbach am Main: dense period and post-war stock, many non-resident owners. We supported a riser replacement in an 82-unit association.
• Wiesbaden: one of Germany’s largest continuous areas of late nineteenth-century housing, much of it listed. We manage an office and warehouse property there.
• Mainz: in Rhineland-Palatinate, with its own building regulations and rent index. We manage 14 rental flats for one owner.
• Darmstadt: Art Nouveau on the Mathildenhöhe and many international tenants from university and research.
• Hanau: new owners’ associations in Pioneer Park alongside post-war stock in Kesselstadt.
• Bad Homburg: villas around the spa gardens and many owners living abroad. We manage 14 new-build rental flats there.
• Oberursel: the largest town in the Hochtaunus district, with an underground line to Frankfurt. We manage a 66-unit estate with terraced houses and a car park.
• Eschborn, Giessen and Aschaffenburg: our home town, a university city with a semester-driven rental market, and a Bavarian city closely tied to the Frankfurt housing market.

Whether a manager suits your building shows in how they answer specific questions. These points can be checked before you appoint anyone.

• Certification: since December 2023, owners can require a manager certified under § 26a WEG. Ask for the certificates of the people who will handle your property.
• Staffing: ask how many people are responsible for your building and who covers holidays and sickness. With us, at least two certified property managers, more for large properties.
• Technical expertise: who assesses water damage, reviews refurbishment quotes and plans maintenance over several years?
• Accounts: the annual statement, budget and asset report under § 28 WEG should arrive on time and with receipts.
• Transparency: can owners and the advisory board view the account, receipts and resolutions themselves?
• Contract: core and additional services should be listed separately, with a clear term and notice period.

Management fees are usually agreed as a fixed price per unit per month, with garages, parking spaces and commercial units charged separately. The amount depends far more on the property than on the city: the size of the association, the age and condition of the building, technical installations such as lifts, boiler rooms or car parks, the share of rented units, upcoming refurbishments and the state of the records at handover.

At Verto you receive a written proposal after a free initial consultation and an inspection. The core fee is a fixed price per unit per month, and additional services are listed individually. Our guide to property management costs explains the factors in more detail.

In large associations the advisory board carries real responsibility. Under § 29 WEG it reviews the budget and annual statement and prepares decisions on refurbishment. We support it with complete records, receipts in the portal and resolution proposals that set options and costs side by side. Our technical team assesses quotes and workmanship on major projects, and we plan the maintenance reserve over several years so that large expenses do not arrive as a surprise levy.
