Wendt Immobilien is a fictional premium estate agency based in Starnberg that sells lake houses, villas, penthouses and estates around Lake Starnberg and in Munich. The demo shows how a high-end agency can communicate discretion, expertise and transparency online – the three things wealthy buyers and sellers look for before they pick up the phone.
The problem this website solves
At the luxury end of the market, many homes are never advertised. Buyers want proof that an agency has access and experience; sellers want reassurance that their privacy will be protected. A cluttered portal-style website undermines both. This design uses a restrained, editorial look – a serif display typeface, sharp square corners, deep forest-green accents and large photography – so the brand feels as exclusive as the properties it sells.
Key features in detail
1. Buying cost and mortgage calculator
Expensive purchases come with expensive side costs, and surprises destroy trust. The calculator lets visitors set the purchase price (€500,000–€5,000,000), their equity (0–60%), the 10-year fixed interest rate (3.4%, 3.7% or 4.0%) and the yearly repayment (2–4%). It then shows transfer tax (3.5% in Bavaria), notary and land register costs (about 2%), the agent fee (3.57%), total buying costs, the equity used and the resulting monthly rate. With the defaults – a €1,690,000 townhouse and 30% equity – the demo shows total buying costs of about €153,000 and a monthly rate of roughly €6,350. A note clearly states that this is an example, not a loan offer, which keeps the tool credible. The button “Talk to our financing partner” turns a calculation into a lead.
2. Curated listings, not an endless catalogue
Six homes are presented like a gallery: a lake house in Berg with private jetty (€4,950,000), a 2021 villa in Pöcking with pool and sauna (€3,280,000), a penthouse in Munich-Lehel with a 120 m² roof terrace (€3,900,000), a restored 1820 farmhouse in Andechs (€2,650,000), a family townhouse in Starnberg (€1,690,000) and an invitation to sell with a free valuation and a discreet marketing plan. A note explains that exact addresses are shared after registration and that more homes are offered privately – a smart way to encourage sign-ups.
3. Private viewing and buyer registration
The booking section matches the culture of the segment: viewings only for registered buyers, proof of financing before a second viewing and a free market valuation for owners. Visitors choose a private viewing, a video buyer registration, a financing consultation or a 90-minute valuation, pick their preferred adviser or “first available” and indicate a budget range. The confirmation promises the exposé and exact address after confirmation.
4. Personal advisers, reviews and FAQ
Three advisers are introduced with their specialities and languages, supporting the promise that each client has one contact from first call to notary appointment. Reviews (4.9 / 5 from 140 reviews) highlight outcomes such as an off-market lake house sold in five weeks at asking price. The FAQ explains the agent fee split, what off-market means, how long a purchase takes and how foreign buyers are supported with translators at the notary.
