Generation Tech Partners buys owner-managed service providers around real estate: condominium (WEG) and rental management, real estate accounting, technical property management, commercial property management and facility services. Directly or through your advisor, response usually within 72 hours.
Anyone who wants to buy your company has to understand what your people are talking about. This is our vocabulary.
A buyer has to know the market. These are the facts we work with.
Three out of four management companies have fewer than ten employees. That is where succession pressure builds, and that is where we buy.
Our assessment for each segment of this sector, side by side. The bar shows what share of today's working time can be automated with available technology.

Germany has 31,279 property management companies (GTP analysis 09/2026). 59.3% of them have fewer than ten employees. The number of VAT-registered businesses has fallen by 9% since 2017, to 22,300 (Destatis 2021). If you manage 800 to 8,000 units today, you are exactly in the zone that successors and buyers are looking for.
70% of management companies are overloaded, 14% no longer take on new mandates (VDIV barometer 2025). At the same time, managers plan to raise WEG fees by 12% to 13% (VDIV 2025). A sector with pricing power and a staff shortage is the right place for back-office automation.
Since December 2023, Section 26a WEG requires a certified manager. The HKVO requires remote reading by 12/31/2026, and GEG 2024 brings advisory obligations. The 2020 WEG reform allows removal at any time. These rules favor management companies with certified staff and digital accounting.
The first call takes 30 minutes, is confidential and is held with a Managing Partner. We work out your value with your numbers and name the three factors that move it most, including possible discounts. Afterwards you get our assessment in writing, even if we decline.
Enterprise value is not the payout. What reaches your account depends on four items:
If one of these points applies, the value drops:
We calculate your value in the first call using your numbers. We go through the four items openly with you, even if the result is below your expectations.
We build a group from several owner-managed businesses. Each business stays independent and shares back office and purchasing with the others.
What applies to your company, we put in the purchase agreement.
Succession is settled, and your business stays independent under its own name. In the group it buys more cheaply and finds staff more easily. You decide whether you keep leading or leave after the handover.
If the highest price matters most, look at both types of buyer. The table shows what each route means for your team and your role.
| Generation Tech Partners | Large consolidators (Odevo, Emeria, Novumstate) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | Calculated openly with your numbers | Often higher |
| Response | Usually within 72 hours, with reasons | Weeks, often in an auction |
| Name and location | Stay | Often rebranding and a head office |
| Your role afterwards | Interim managing director, advisory board, rollover of up to 25% | Usually exit after handover |
| Team | Stays, gets back-office relief | Integration into group processes |
| Sector knowledge | Market data, regulation, sub-segments on this page | Yes, often deeper |
Both routes work directly or through an M&A advisor. We are just as happy to work with an advisor.
A management company lives on the trust of advisory councils, owners and tenants in your team. That is why we talk about your people first and the price second.
I am responsible for the purchase agreement and the handover. In a share deal, your appointments remain in place, and no owners' association has to pass a new resolution. We clarify this before the offer.
Here are our minimum sizes per segment and the metrics we need in the teaser.
| Segment | Minimum size |
|---|---|
| WEG management (platform) | 2,500 or more units, at least 50% WEG |
| Rental management and condominium unit management (SEV) | 800 or more units as an add-on |
| Real estate accounting and back office | EBITDA from €0.5m or as an add-on |
| Technical property management and renovation support | EBITDA from €0.5m or as an add-on |
| Commercial property management | EBITDA from €0.5m or as an add-on, team of 5 or more, contracts longer than 18 months |
| Caretaking and facility services | EBITDA from €0.5m or as an add-on, business based on framework contracts |
All 24 segments and minimum sizes: Acquisition profile for advisors
Buyers also value property management companies by units, and WEG units count more than rental units. We value accounting, technical and facility service providers on EBITDA and the share of recurring contracts. We work out your value in the first call using your numbers.
No, you stay as long as you want. 6 to 24 months as interim managing director or an advisory board seat is common. We fix both in the purchase agreement. You set the end date.
All employment contracts remain unchanged. That is required by law under Section 613a BGB and is our stated model. We buy property management companies for their team. We create relief with central accounting and automation, and we do not cut jobs.
Yes, a rollover of up to 25% is possible. You sell the majority, secure your capital and share in the group's increase in value. Alternatively, we buy 100%. We regularly offer both options.
We usually reply within 72 hours of your enquiry. You find out whether your management company fits our profile. The indicative offer follows within 2 to 4 weeks, under NDA if you wish.
That is your decision. Many owners work with an advisor, and we are happy to work with them. A good advisor prepares documents and saves both sides time. If you come directly, the partners run the process themselves. In any case, you should bring in your own lawyer and tax advisor.
Yes. We buy real estate accounting, technical property management and facility services as standalone companies from €0.5m EBITDA or as an add-on to a management platform. The requirement is predictable, recurring revenue and a team that delivers without the owner.
Large consolidators often pay more, but they move back office and decisions to head offices. We offer speed, rollover, a focus on your region and team continuity. If only the price counts, look at both routes. If name and team should stay, a direct buyer like GTP is the better fit.
A 30-minute call is enough to know whether we fit. Afterwards you get a written assessment with reasons.
