Training for Real Estate Agents (Immobilienmakler) and Property Managers
(Wohnimmobilienverwalter) under Section 34c Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung)
In the real estate business, legally secure processes, clear documentation and up-to-date expertise decide whether you face liability and disputes or build stable client relationships. Our trainings are aimed at residential property managers (Wohnimmobilienverwalter), condominium association managers (WEG-Verwalter), real estate agents (Immobilienmakler) and other professionals operating under section 34c of the Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung, § 34c GewO) who are subject to a statutory continuing education obligation (Weiterbildungspflicht) or who want to raise their practice to a professional, low-liability level.
OUR TRAININGS
We combine current real estate, condominium and brokerage law with typical day-to-day situations in management and sales, focusing on solutions that can be implemented directly in practice.
Training 1: Condominium and Residential Property Management – Continuing Education under Section 34c Trade Regulation Act (WEG- und Wohnimmobilienverwaltung – Fortbildung nach § 34c GewO)
This training targets residential property managers (Wohnimmobilienverwalter) and condominium association managers (WEG-Verwalter), in particular residential property managers within the meaning of section 34c subsection 1 sentence 1 no. 4 Trade Regulation Act (Wohnimmobilienverwalter im Sinne von § 34c Abs. 1 Satz 1 Nr. 4 GewO). It focuses on statutory duties, typical liability risks and the practical implementation of the requirements under the Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung), the Regulation on Estate Agents and Property Developers (Makler- und Bauträgerverordnung, MaBV) and the Condominium Act (Wohnungseigentumsgesetz).
Key contents include:
- Position, duties and liability of the property manager (Verwalterhaftung) in condominium and residential tenancy management
- Preparation, conduct and implementation of owners’ meetings and resolutions (Eigentümerversammlungen und Beschlüsse)
- Design and review of service charge statements, budget plans and maintenance reserves (Abrechnung, Wirtschaftsplan, Instandhaltungsrücklage)
- Classification and practical fulfilment of the continuing education obligation (Weiterbildungspflicht) under section 34c subsection 2a Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung, § 34c Abs. 2a GewO) – 20 hours within three calendar years – including meaningful documentation of contents and attendance in line with MaBV
The aim is to structure management activities in a legally secure way, reduce liability and conflicts with owners and tenants, and fulfil statutory continuing education obligations in an orderly and verifiable manner.
Training 2: Practical Real Estate Brokerage Law (Praxis des Maklerrechts)
This training is aimed at real estate agents (Immobilienmakler) and senior staff in brokerage firms who want to design their contract and advisory processes in a legally secure manner and minimise liability risks. It covers the basics of brokerage contract law as well as typical problem areas in daily practice.
Key focus areas:
- Legal basis and drafting of brokerage contracts (Maklerverträge) under the Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB) and the Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung)
- Securing commission claims (Provisionsansprüche) and handling typical objections raised by clients
- Implementation of information and withdrawal rights (Informations- und Widerrufspflichten) for consumers
- Advisory, disclosure and documentation duties (Beratungs-, Aufklärungs- und Dokumentationspflichten) and their impact on liability
The goal is to organise day-to-day brokerage business so that commission claims remain enforceable, errors in marketing materials, withdrawal notices and communication are avoided, and overall liability risk is significantly reduced.
Who Should Attend?
Our trainings are particularly suitable for:
- Residential property managers and condominium association managers (Wohnimmobilienverwalter, WEG-Verwalter) who want to fulfil their continuing education obligation (Weiterbildungspflicht) under section 34c Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung, § 34c GewO) in a professionally meaningful way
- Real estate agents (Immobilienmakler) who wish to make their internal processes and contract templates legally robust
- Staff directly involved in regulated activities (erlaubnispflichtige Tätigkeiten) whose qualifications must be transparently documented
- Companies seeking to establish or further develop a structured compliance and quality concept (Compliance- und Qualitätskonzept) for real estate brokerage and property management
For each training, we provide detailed certificates documenting content, duration and participation, which can be used as evidence vis-à-vis supervisory authorities, professional associations or internal compliance functions.
Our Approach
The trainings are delivered by lawyers specialised in real estate, condominium, tenancy and corporate law (Immobilienrecht, WEG-Recht, Mietrecht, Gesellschaftsrecht) who know typical case constellations from advisory work and litigation. We limit legal theory to what is necessary and work with:
- Practical case studies from property management and brokerage
- Clear guidance and verifiable standards for daily work
- Drafting suggestions for contracts, resolution wording and internal procedures
Upon request, we develop a tailor-made training concept (maßgeschneidertes Fortbildungskonzept) with you that covers your statutory requirements under section 34c Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung, § 34c GewO) as well as your internal needs regarding quality, liability prevention and documentation.
