IQI is planting its flag in Europe’s economic powerhouse with the launch of IQI Germany, expanding its global real estate network into ultraprime second-home markets across the continent.
Formed through a strategic partnership with boutique luxury residential brand, DIANIUM RESIDENCE, IQI Germany marks a major step in connecting Europe and Asia’s property markets.
“Our mission is simple: to make cross-border property transactions easier and safer,” said Kashif Ansari, Co-Founder and Group CEO of IQI.
By bringing the IQI platform to Germany, we’re opening global opportunities to German buyers that were once out of reach – especially in Asia – while giving international investors a new gateway into Germany’s own thriving market.”

To add to the excitement, Ansari also notes that IQI has grown to more than 60,000 agents in over 32 countries, generating roughly ten million consumer engagements each month.
The addition of IQI Germany comes soon after other recent launches in Netherland, Italy, Portugal, Iceland and Montenegro.
Ansari emphasises that Germany’s strong, affluent economy makes it Europe’s leading source of outbound property investment.
“German buyers are among the continent’s most active in cross-border real estate, representing around 18% of foreign purchases in regions of France such as the Var, 16% of luxury acquisitions in Italy, and similarly significant shares in Portugal, Greece, and Spain,” says Ansari.
He adds that their presence in Asian second-home markets is also set to expand substantially over time.
Daniel Ho, Co-Founder and Group Managing Director of IQI adds,
This is an excellent time to launch IQI Germany. After three years of stagnation, the economy is growing again and families have more money to spend on second homes.”

“In Germany itself, home prices there are expected to jump by 3.5% this year. Rents are also climbing, with investors’ average yield in Germany now 3.83%, according to our partners at Global Property Guide,” says Ho.
In addition, prime cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt attract investors from our network in Asia and the Middle East who want both income stability and long-term capital protection.
IQI Germany will be led by Michael Lamm, CEO of Dianium Residence and Head of IQI Germany.
“We’re proud to be joining IQI’s global network. Over the past three years, we have closed more than €250 million (US$290 million) in luxury and commercial transactions and twice earned the Bellevue Property Award,” says Lamm.
Our multilingual team will fit right into IQI’s multinational network. We expect IQI Germany to bring new investment into the country and to make it easier for Germans to invest in sought-after second-home markets in Spain, Portugal, and beyond.

According to Lamm, joining the IQI family allows them to maintain their boutique, white-glove approach while instantly gaining access to a global client base and world-class marketing tools.
“Our sellers gain reach to serious buyers from overseas, especially from China and Asia. And our German clients gain trusted on-the-ground assistance when they look for property overseas. It’s a true two-way bridge,” Lamm concludes.
With IQI Germany now established, the group is positioned to connect Europe’s wealthiest buyers with exclusive opportunities worldwide while giving international investors an easier path into Germany’s thriving property market.
