I cannot emphasize how helpful Hypofriend has been to get our mortgage in place. We had a rather tricky income situation and were rejected by almost all German banks, but Oliver went above and beyond... See more

Hypofriend helped us in finding a mortgage and navigating during this tough economic times

Hypofriend helped us in finding a mortgage for our new home. We were completely new to this field and with lot of unknown risks, it was initially overwhelming for us. The blogs and the process explained within Hypofriend helped bring some clarity initially. Luka our advisor navigated us efficiently during the process and was always available for clarifying our questions. Definitely recommend Hypofriend for first time buyers and expats who will find the whole process in German slightly difficult.

Very professional, friendly and reliable service and support

I worked with Hypofriend two times. I have found the service provided by Hypofriend very professional, reliable and friendly, in both German and English languages. I definitely recommend Hypofriend for financing from the start and a successful end.
One practical hint: Hypofriend intends to suggest you to provide less equity for a mortgage and instead apply for a higher mortgage. This is in favor of both Hypofriend and a bank, but not you are a mortgage borrower. Be aware of it and try to push back their first suggestion in favor of more equity and less mortgage - if applicable to you!

They make the process of buying so simple!

My girlfriend and I used Hypofriend to help us purchase a property after moving to Germany from the UK. Having only moved recently and with a limited understanding of the language and the property buying process here we a bit nervous as to how difficult it would be. Hypofriend have made the process incredible simple throughout, from setting expectations at the start and then with clear communication throughout. They were always proactive in moving the buying process along and on hand to help out when we had any questions or issues. I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone in a similar situation as us.

Very helpful and professional team

I'm truly impressed by the help and support given by my Hypofriend Mortgage Expert (shout out to Helge Schünemann!).

From the very first call and ongoing, Helge has been responsive and clear in his explanations. He's given balanced advice, pointing out the pro's and con's of my different options and always explained why he was recommending one path or another. As a new expat in Germany, I had quite a few hurdles and Helge was patient, reassuring and helpful all the way through the process.

The Hypofriend portal and public blog posts are simple enough to use, and they were a good introduction to Hypofriend. In the end, most of my interactions were over email and voice/video call scheduled through the online portal.

I would highly recommend Hypofriend.

Michael was very helpful in giving all the information and he made sure that the process is done smoothly.

I had a great experience finalizing…

I had a great experience finalizing mortgage with Hypofriend. I feel well informed with details conversation and video session with Janik and Jaclyn Berg. In parallel taking with Hypofriend I was takeing offers from other banks as PostBank, Sparkasse and VolksBank. Consultation from other banks are also friendly and helpful but offer from Hypofriend is unbeatable.

I am especially thankful to Jaclyn Berg for clarifying lots of questions and guidance throughout the process. It was always pleasure to talk with her. It feels like clarifying doubts with friends. It was a nice experience for me. I would definitely recommend Hypofriend !

We got our mortgage through Hypofriend

We got our mortgage through Hypofriend. Both, my wife and I are not speaking German to be able to follow with all the paperwork. Tim was assigned for our case, who speaks perfect English and was able to guide us through options as well as help us close the deal with the bank. Another reason we went with Hypofriend is their best interest rate offerings among other mortgage brokers.

Incredibly helpful with mortgages in Germany

It was really helpful to have Johannes on our side to find a mortgage that would match our situation. He took the time to explain everything and could be reached easily for subsequent questions. Overall, it was pretty smooth. Thanks a lot!

Expert advice

Had an amazing experience finding my mortgage through Hypofriend. As a first time buyer I had a lot of questions, and Martin answered all of them clearly and patiently. He generated several mortgage offers, and that helped me understand the computation and choose the best option for me. Hypofriend knows the typical problems expats encounter with mortgage applications and how to deal with them.

Great mortgage service

The whole process was effortless and straightforward. Our advisor was very helpful in clarifying our questions and informing us about the next steps. The phone call and video conference were particularly useful in getting everything sorted and clarified quickly. I would highly recommend anyone this service in the future.

Hypofriend is the ideal Mortage Services for Expats

Hypofriend was one of the reasons that encouraged me to buy a property in Germany. They provide wide range of tools and calculators that can support you in making financial decisions related to mortgages. In addition, they are offering great mortgage consultancy and brokerage services by professional employees who can guide you to the best options. In general, it was a great experience for someone like me who is an Expat with limited German skills

An overall 5-star experience with Hypofriend

The whole process has been extremely smooth and easy from start to finish. I have been extremely lucky to collaborate with both Helge and Janik, they have been very friendly and pro-active during the whole process.

Their broad knowledge around housing, loans, market economics, central bank & interest rates were extremely helpful into making the right mortgage choice.

They have been great in listening to my needs, questions, and did an amazing work in explaining what would have been impossible to understand in German.

In addition to this, both agents have always been very reachable and reactive to emails, always working with professionalism.

I can only recommend Hypofriend if you are looking into property investments as a foreigner in Germany!

I was a little sceptical too, but...

I was a little sceptical at the beginning when landed at the Hypofriend webpage, but looking into the many positive public comments and feedback from people like me that worked with the HypoFriend team to get their loan for their house or project, gave me the confidence to take the chance.
I'm now one more of those who can strongly recommend working with this team. In my case, I had the opportunity to work with Sven, who spent countless hours supporting me and driving me through the complex process for getting a loan and buying a house in Germany. Today I'm a happy owner of a dreamed historical house thanks to his guidance.
And yes, it's all free for you, unbelievable.
Thanks a ton Sven and Hypofriend team!
