Document background
The Real Estate Buyer Intake Form is a critical initial document in the German property acquisition process, designed to streamline the collection of essential information from prospective buyers while ensuring compliance with German legal requirements. It is typically used at the first formal interaction between a buyer and real estate professional, gathering comprehensive details about the buyer's identity, financial capacity, property requirements, and purchase intentions. The form addresses requirements set forth in German property law, including anti-money laundering regulations (Geldwäschegesetz), and helps identify any potential legal or practical issues early in the transaction process. This document serves as a foundation for subsequent steps in the property purchase process, including property viewing selections, financing arrangements, and eventual contract preparation.
