Becoming successful with a system
DAHLER is one of the best-known and most successful real estate companies in the world of premium real estate.

Successful brokering with a system
Become a DAHLER franchise partner
Today, we are already represented with more than 80 brokerage offices in Germany and more than seven locations on the Balearic Islands and the Spanish mainland. In addition to Ibiza, Mallorca and the Costa del Sol, many more locations are planned - whether Fuerteventura, Malaga or along the Costa Brava. The strong network, together with a sophisticated franchise concept, excellently trained specialist teams and the highest standards in service quality form the basis for the success of our franchise system.
Real estate is pure joie de vivre for you. You are curious about people, outgoing and an enthusiastic networker. You want to make a difference and be successful in a creative environment. And you know that globalisation has also arrived in real estate brokerage and that without a professional network, clear specialisation and a strong brand, no successful market position and performance is possible in the long term. If you are already self-employed or want to become self-employed and take off with a strong partner, then get to know us personally.
Partner satisfaction
We define our corporate success by the success of our partners. This is also expressed in what our partners say about us.
"DAHLER's good name and brand image have convinced me personally. Today I have owners who tell me that if it says DAHLER on a sales order, they can sign blindly."

The relationship with our partners?
Excellent!
We are pleased that our constant efforts to develop and improve have been rewarded for the sixth time in a row with the igenda Gold Award for a particularly good relationship with our licensees.
In an online survey conducted by the independent igenda Institute under the scientific supervision of the International Centre for Franchising and Cooperation (F&C), all franchise partners were asked to anonymously rate their satisfaction as partners of DAHLER in various categories.
Once again, the overall result was even better than in the previous year: Global satisfaction was rated "very good" with a mean value of 1.5 (school grading scale). 100 % of the participants said that they would choose DAHLER as franchisor again.
