Immo scout, ads etc. It's difficult to decide the providers are legit or not, most of them having "conditions apply" hidden in there somewhere. I wish I could find someone, who does honest work for the money they take

The IVD (Immobilienverband Deutschland) keeps a public list of certified agents on their site, and filtering by Berlin plus English services helps cut through the noise. I've had decent luck with smaller neighborhood agencies in districts like Prenzlauer Berg or Friedrichshain, since they often know the local market better than the big chains. Just ask upfront for a full breakdown of their commission and any Nebenkosten, a trustworthy agent will walk you through it without dodging.

Look for agents who are members of the Berliner Maklerverband. They have a public directory on their site and members agree to transparent pricing and a binding code of ethics. Also, if you're buying, keep in mind the agent's commission is typically split 50/50 between buyer and seller in Berlin, so you're not paying the full 7.14% yourself. I've found smaller boutique agencies in Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain are often more responsive than the big names, they actually return calls within a day.

I'd look for agents who are part of the Immobilienverband Deutschland (IVD). They have a strict ethical code and you can file complaints if something feels off. A good place to start is their official directory at ivd-berlin.de, where you can filter by language and specialty. I've also heard that agents who work with the Berliner Volksbank or Sparkasse tend to be more transparent because those banks have internal compliance checks on the properties they finance.
