Our real estate debt management team

Home » Team

A well-established team with a new perspective

In the summer of 2020, we founded Aukera Real Estate AG with the aim of continuing our successful relationship with investors and borrowers but in our own setting. With Aukera, we are creating our own platform to continue our success story.

We see ourselves as a young, modern team recognised for its efficient and straightforward way of working. We are very well connected in the Real Estate industry and are familiar with our investors’ individual requirements from our own first-hand experience.

You can rely on us! We are some of the most successful German-speaking real estate debt management professionals in the European investment market.
