Hi everyone,

I’m seriously considering becoming an Immobilienmakler in Germany, ideally working for a company first (not freelancing immediately), and I’m trying to understand how realistic this career actually is today — especially in Munich.

At first I became very motivated by the idea:

\* working in real estate
\* helping sell properties
\* learning the market
\* earning through commissions + salary
\* and maybe one day investing in property myself

But recently someone ( my frend) told me that:

\* Munich already has too many Immobilienmakler
\* selling property there is “easy” so agents are less needed
\* beginners struggle a lot financially
\* companies prefer native Germans for client-facing roles
\* income can be very unstable
\* and only a small percentage earn really well

Now I honestly don’t know what to think anymore.

I know no profession is easy and I’m not expecting instant success, but I’d really like honest opinions from people actually working as Immobilienmakler in Germany.

Especially:

\* How stressful is the job in reality?
\* Is it possible to make a stable living as an employed Immobilienmakler in a company?
\* How hard is it for beginners?
\* How much does language/accent matter?
\* And do you still think it’s a good profession to enter in 2026?
