Immobilien: Immowelt greift Immoscout an – so will das Portal zum Marktführer aufschließen

Nürnberg – Immowelt, the leading German real estate portal, is ramping up its efforts to challenge Immoscout, according to Theo Mseka, the company's CEO since last autumn. Speaking to the Handelsblatt, Mseka expressed the company's ambition to work on equal terms with estate agents and property providers. To achieve this, he stated that the management is currently overhauling the platform, which is part of the international AVIV group.

Mseka aimed to "address specific issues rather than merely increasing prices," explaining that the 44-year-old, born in Tanzania, previously led Turkey's market leader Hepsiemlak and with Private Property, one of South Africa's top real estate portals.

The unspoken target of this challenge is the market leader, DAX company Scout24, the parent company of Immoscout. In the past, Immoscout faced criticism for its pricing models for renters and continuous fee hikes for commercial providers like estate agents.
