Our society is undergoing a multidimensional transformation that is resulting in massive changes to our socio-economic structures. This situation calls for new approaches and solutions, especially in the real estate industry. How can we improve our developed and undeveloped environment in an ecological and social context? The necessary trend reversal can only be achieved through cross-industry collaboration, a creative pioneering spirit and clever value creation strategies. At Ehret+Klein, these attributes are reflected both in our projects and in our personnel development policy. Anyone can contribute to human-centered urban development – not merely as an employee but as a co-creator. It is precisely this opportunity for entrepreneurial initiative and openness to new, innovative ideas that make the work environment here particularly attractive for me.

What I truly appreciate at ehret+klein is the high level of personal responsibility that comes with the tasks. It has allowed me to grow from a dual student to a marketing manager. Curiosity, ambition, and a hands-on mentality are, in my opinion, the key for anyone who wants to take control of their career development . You can define the role you play yourself. I now supervise a large number of projects for which I not only develop marketing concepts, but also implement them independently. 

Property management doesn't sound particularly exciting to most people - why exactly did you choose it?
I came into contact with this field very early on through my family, who work in various areas of te real estate sector. During my apprenticeship, I discovered my passion for property management, as this is where I can make the most of my strengths.

Specifically, what I like about property management is the varied mix of organization, communication and solution-oriented work. You have to deal with a wide variety of people and issues every day, which require individual approaches and solutions. It never gets boring!

What does the perfect working day look like for you?
I would say it's all about the mix: A constructive exchange with the tenants, dynamic teamwork with my colleagues and a sense of achievement because you were able to solve a problem.

Why did you choose ehret+klein as your employer?
ehret+klein combines everything I imagine an ideal workplace to be: exciting projects, modern office space, a great team and flexible organization of my everyday life. I also find the versatile and future-oriented combination of asset and property management, development, sustainability and fund management particularly exciting.

When and why did you decide to join ehret+klein?
Here at ehret+klein, I find it easy to stand behind the projects and position them initially as products on the market. The next step, however, involves much more, namely emotions. I want future tenants and buyers to understand the story behind the properties.
 

What is your intrinsic motivation for marketing projects?
For me, it's a combination of a number of different aspects that motivates me in the long term. On the one hand, I have the feeling that I'm not selling merely a space but the most important asset that many people will ever acquire. It's something useful and valuable that I can offer them. On the other hand, it's important to me that I understand the needs of the customer and take these into account when marketing the project. Once the buyers or tenants have moved in, I walk through the properties again. It makes me happy to see that we have created spaces in which people live.
 

Why did you choose a medium-sized company?
Short communication paths, quick decision-making, and a positive team spirit were the key factors that convinced me.

What has been your biggest success in a project so far?
The completion and handover of the apartments in the quarter "Am Papierbach" in Landsberg am Lech, along with the happy faces of the new owners and residents. It gives me the sense of creating lasting value.
 

What challenges still lie ahead?
Implementing the overall development of the urban quarter in the current market environment and realizing the vision for the district with all stakeholders.
 

Can you imagine living there yourself?
Absolutely, if the architectural quality and vision align. What matters to me is a family-friendly environment, sustainable buildings, cultural and social diversity, and a high standard of architectural design. In my opinion, the district in Landsberg offers exactly that.
 

What excites you about your job? IT is not everyone's cup of tea.

That's true! And yet we all have to deal with these machines on a daily basis. Nowadays, nothing works without IT. I probably didn't realize this when I assembled my first PC at the age of 6, but I've been incredibly fascinated by the subject ever since!

In my career so far, I've been able to gather a lot of impressions, whether as a typical system administrator - all alone in a cold server room (which is probably the cliché of the IT specialist) - or as a consultant in the Microsoft 365 area. The latter is exactly my thing. I love interacting with people - without a ticket - but in person in our IT department!

A few years ago, you were already working as an external service provider - including for ehret+klein. What is it like to be part of the team yourself now?

In my 10 years as an IT service provider, I was able to build up a sound knowledge base in all areas of IT. By supporting a wide variety of medium-sized companies, from medical practices to cytology, I was able to implement a wide range of processes and get to know a large number of software solutions.
At ehret+klein in particular, I was very impressed by the working atmosphere, the positive team spirit and the high standard with which the projects were implemented. Being able to play my part now makes me happy.

The real estate industry is not necessarily considered an innovative stronghold for software - where do you see development potential for the industry?

I don't think that can be said across the board for the real estate industry alone! Nowadays, many industries are faced with the challenge of recognizing the added value of new IT technologies and using them to their advantage. Above all, however, employees need to be brought on board and supported through the change process. Nowadays, we can rely on both tried-and-tested and new IT infrastructures that make our daily work easier. My mission: to drive digital collaboration even further, because I love and live modern working.
