“A property is more than an asset. It is a decision — and decisions deserve trust.”

Tiani Nihar's career began in North Rhine-Westphalia with a Bachelor's degree in Real Estate Management. During her first positions at established German brokerage houses she developed an early understanding of what premium clients expect: not loud marketing, but calm, precise service — and the ability to identify, for a given property, the one buyer who recognises its actual value.
Years in the German market — specialised in NRW and the Ruhr region (Düsseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, Essen, Dortmund, Bochum) with a Germany-wide premium portfolio reaching Frankfurt and Munich — were followed by a move to the United Arab Emirates. In Dubai she came to know one of the most international real estate markets in the world and established working relationships with local developers, family offices, legal advisors and investors from Europe, India, Russia and Asia. That network has expanded with every transaction since — in Germany as well as internationally.
Today Tiani works at the interface between both markets. She understands her role less as that of an intermediary and more as that of a connector — between owners who wish to place their property discreetly and at an appropriate price, and buyers seeking substance rather than volume. Every mandate is directed towards an outcome that serves both sides: a price that reflects value, a process that holds up, and a client relationship that endures beyond the single transaction.
TN Immobilien is not the generalist with a pitch for every enquiry. We are deep — in clearly defined fields where our clients give us a clear mandate. That is the specialisation behind the more than €80M in transaction volume we have closed.
Specialised in NRW and the Ruhr region (Düsseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, Essen, Dortmund, Bochum, Duisburg) — Germany-wide for premium mandates from Frankfurt through Munich to Hamburg and Berlin. We know the regulatory nuances (GEG energy law, transfer tax per federal state, speculation period, the 2020 broker fee reform) and work with a fixed network of notaries, tax lawyers and surveyors.
Direct access to pre-launch allocations at Emaar, DAMAC, Sobha and Nakheel. We review every SPA, optimise payment-plan structures (60/40 to 80/20, plus post-handover models), coordinate Oqood registration at the DLD and monitor construction progress monthly.
Discreet placement beyond public portals. Our buyer pool is made up of vetted HNWIs, family offices and institutional investors across DACH and the UAE. NDA-based process from first enquiry through to closing.
Strategic advice for international investors. Portfolio review, market-entry strategy DACH ↔ UAE, asset allocation across residential, investment and hospitality real estate. Introductions to specialised tax lawyers and asset managers.
DTA Germany-UAE, residency planning, Golden Visa (from AED 2M investment), dirham-to-euro transfer free of capital controls, inheritance structuring via DIFC Wills. We open the doors — the structuring is delivered by our certified partners.
Comparative value and income-capitalisation methods for German existing assets, yield modelling for Dubai investments including service charges and gross-to-net calculation. We deliver substantiated pre-sale assessments and exit scenarios — free of charge in the initial phase.
Every decision is explained — no black-box advisory. You understand what happens and why.
Confidentiality is not a nice-to-have, it's the baseline. Under NDA from first contact if needed.
A relationship that outlasts a single deal. Many clients return years later — that is not a coincidence.
Not a compromise broker who 'also does Dubai' — but active brokerage and presence in both markets.
No team handoff, no assistant. You speak directly with the principal — from first contact to closing.
HNWIs, developers, lawyers, tax advisors, family offices — in Frankfurt as in Dubai. Connections that open doors.
Off-market is not an add-on, it is the norm. Your interests remain confidential — from first enquiry to closing.
We work with three main profiles: (1) HNWIs and family offices in the DACH region that hold German assets or seek diversification into Dubai; (2) international investors from Europe, India and the broader region adding German prime locations or Dubai off-plan to their portfolios; (3) entrepreneurs and self-employed clients relocating to Dubai or holding yield properties there. Mandates typically start from €1M in property value.
Step 1: confidential intake and profile build (investment objective, budget, time horizon, risk profile). Step 2: NDA and onboarding to our off-market pool. Step 3: curated shortlist of matching properties — typically 3-6 exposés per quarter, no mass mailings. Step 4: viewings, SPA review, negotiation support. Step 5: coordination of the German notary process or DLD registration (Dubai), incl. introductions to specialised tax counsel. Step 6: optional property management post-handover.
We open the doors — structuring is delivered by our certified partners: DTA-aligned tax optimisation Germany/UAE, holding structures for Dubai investments, residency and Golden Visa planning (from AED 750,000 / 2M), AED-to-euro repatriation without capital controls, and DIFC Wills for clean inheritance arrangements. On German purchases we coordinate the classic notary and land registry process and work with tax lawyers on transfer tax, speculation period and GEG energy law topics.
Our sweet spot sits between €1M and €20M per asset. In Germany predominantly urban villas, premium apartments and multi-family houses in NRW and the Ruhr region; in Dubai off-plan allocations, branded residences and custom-built villas. In total we have closed transactions exceeding €80M. Individual mandates above €20M are reviewed case by case — what matters is substance and fit to the profile, not absolute price.
Discretion is the baseline with us, not a premium add-on. Specifically: all mandates under NDA, anonymised initial conversations on request, structuring via holding entities where desired, no portal listings, no social media marketing. Buyer and seller communicate only through us — identities are disclosed only when both sides have signalled concrete interest. For particularly sensitive mandates (public figures, divorce situations, inheritances) we work with specialised lawyers and escrow agents.
We don't do mass marketing, no standard brokerage, no quick sales without strategic depth. Specifically: no mandates below €500K asset value (except special cases), no sales to developers for speculative resale, no off-plan placements with tier-3 developers without a proven track record. This discipline is the reason our clients return year after year — instead of disappearing after a single deal.
Buyers go through a three-step process before accessing concrete off-market properties: (1) profile build (investment objective, budget, time horizon, preferred locations), (2) credit and capital evidence on larger mandates, (3) NDA signature. This way sellers only see serious, solvent interest — and buyers only receive properties that fit their profile. Our pool currently includes over 200 pre-qualified HNWIs and family offices across DACH and the UAE.
Our compensation is success-based — we earn only when the transaction closes. In Germany the shared broker fee applies (law since 2020): typically 3.57 % incl. VAT per side on residential property. In Dubai market-standard rates are 2 % on the buyer side, sometimes covered by the developer on off-plan placements. Initial consultation, profile build, valuation and off-market access are free of charge. All terms are agreed in writing before the mandate begins.
