It may well be that the Berlin office of the company is trying hard to be independent from the group and behave in a more reputable fashion than their other offices around the world.
Having said that, this particular company which is based in Spain has videos of salespeople on Youtube blatantly lying to clients and is quite infamous among investors worldwide with their name coming up normally related to aftersales problems, as can be seen when you "google" the company name. They are on almost every real estate forum I've seen with reports of dodgy activity.
If you are working with a real estate agency in Berlin which is British owned or operated and you are concerned it might be them, just "google" their name or do a search on Youtube and get some background information about them. |
As I suspected. Know the company concerned and you and everyone else coming into contact with them should also be concerned. They have been named many times on this and other property forums - before the spectre of court appearances caused us all to speak of them in cryptic, non specific terms.
Didn't want you to paint yourself into a corner, merely being able to ID them (through my own cognitions of course. Any information you have successfully hidden from us has not been available for me to draw my personal conclusion) is quite sufficient.
My company is Anglo-German and operating throughout Germany - my fear is we are all going to be tarred with the same brush.
