Buyer’s guide · Greater Munich
What does a relocation service in Munich cost?
A transparent guide to the difference between a focused individual service, a connected relocation programme and a bespoke mandate — including current BRS starting-price guidance.
The figures below are current BRS service-price guidance, not a market-wide price comparison or a binding quote. Every written proposal reflects the agreed scope, allowances, service period and third-party costs. Public-authority, landlord, broker and provider decisions remain outside BRS control.
Step 1
Start with the engagement model, not the package name
Relocation support is easier to compare when you first decide how much coordination you actually want. The lowest sensible fee is not automatically the first published programme price.
Focused individual service
Choose one defined outcome — for example a registration step, a property handover or selected settling-in coordination. Because the workstream is narrower, the proposal can be below the MUNICH SELECT starting guide.
Connected programme
Use a programme when several tasks need to move together under one plan. The published guide sets a realistic reference scope, allowances and service period; the final proposal still adapts to the household or assignment.
Bespoke mandate
Private Office and complex corporate work are designed around discretion, authorised stakeholders, communication routes and the level of delegation required. They are priced only after a confidential scope review.
Step 2
Read the published starting prices in context
Starting prices make a comparable reference scope visible without pretending every move is identical. They are useful anchors for complete programmes, not mandatory minimum packages for every enquiry.
MUNICH SELECT
From €3,570 incl. VAT for the published focused home-search reference scope, including search strategy, qualified proposals, agreed accompanied viewings, tenancy coordination and one handover.
MUNICH SIGNATURE
From €5,355 incl. VAT for the published integrated home-search and arrival reference scope, connecting a broader search with selected formalities, provider setup and aftercare.
DEPARTURE SELECT
From €1,785 incl. VAT for the published essential departure reference scope, including agreed deregistration, provider close-out and one property handover.
DEPARTURE SIGNATURE
From €2,975 incl. VAT for the published connected household close-out reference scope with broader provider, property and aftercare coordination.
Corporate Professional, Corporate Executive and all Private Office mandates remain price on request. Their value depends on reporting, authorised stakeholders, assignment volume, discretion and the actual workstreams — not a public one-size-fits-all number.
Step 3
Understand what changes the final fee
A professional proposal should explain the operational work behind the number. These factors usually matter more than the label attached to the service.
Search intensity and allowances
A tightly defined home search with a realistic location, budget and timeline requires a different level of work from a broad search with more property proposals, accompanied viewings or temporary-housing options.
Number of connected workstreams
Housing, registration, providers, school or childcare, household setup and departure tasks can be commissioned separately or coordinated together. More interfaces and dependencies require more senior coordination.
Household, assignment and communication
Family needs, employer reporting, authorised representatives, confidentiality requirements and the number of decision-makers affect the service design even when the destination is the same.
Timing and service period
A realistic lead time creates more options. Compressed deadlines, remote handovers, extended aftercare or work outside the agreed service period need to be assessed separately rather than hidden inside a vague package promise.
External and third-party costs
Rent, deposits, authority charges, certified translations, legal or tax advice, broker fees and service-provider invoices are not BRS service fees unless the written proposal expressly includes them. The responsible third party sets those amounts and decisions.
Step 4
Know when a smaller individual scope is the better buy
A complete programme creates value when tasks interact. When the outcome is narrow and the client can own the surrounding work, a focused proposal is often the more proportionate route.
One administrative outcome
If the home is secured and only one clearly defined arrival task needs practical coordination, ask for that outcome rather than starting with a full home-search programme.
One property milestone
A remote handover, a viewing allowance or a specific tenancy-coordination task may be scoped on its own when the wider search is already managed by the client or employer.
Selected settling-in work
Provider setup, orientation or family-related research can be combined into a defined brief without commissioning every capability shown on the website.
A brief that is still uncertain
Share the desired outcome, current location and timing first. BRS can identify the smallest sensible scope before you commit to a programme label or send sensitive documents.
Step 5
Compare the proposal, not only the headline price
A lower number is not automatically better value if responsibility, allowances and handover are unclear. A useful relocation proposal should let you see what will actually happen next.
Defined outcome and ownership
Check which results BRS coordinates, what you or the employer must provide and who owns each decision or external response.
Visible allowances and period
Property proposals, accompanied viewings, orientation time, handovers, aftercare and service duration should be visible where they form part of the agreed scope.
Clear exclusions
A credible proposal separates service fees from rent, deposits, provider invoices and specialist advice. It also avoids promising landlord, school, authority or provider decisions.
A direct point of contact
The practical value of relocation support is not a longer checklist. It is clear ownership, faster coordination and fewer hand-offs across the work you chose to delegate.
When you want support
Start with the smallest useful scope.
Tell Irene what outcome you need, when the move should happen and which tasks you want to keep. BRS will recommend a focused service, a connected programme or a bespoke mandate — without forcing the brief into a fixed package.
- No commitment and no documents for the first brief
- Individual services can sit below the first programme guide
- Complete programmes connect several workstreams
- Final fee and third-party costs are confirmed in writing
