How can we make the future more reliable?

Max and I addressed precisely this issue during Sparkassentag 2025. It took place on 21 and 22 May in Nuremberg under the motto "Zukunft. Machen.“ ("Shaping the future.")

This event was particularly important for us, because it always gives us the opportunity to engage with many board members from a wide range of Sparkasse banks. And for exactly this reason, we came up with an idea and sent postcards to the board members  in advance to invite them personally to our stand. Our fingers are now sore, but it was worth it! The turnout was great, and we were able to have numerous interesting conversations about the future.

Admittedly, answering the initial question may not have been the only reason for visiting us. As a small token of appreciation for stopping by our stand, visitors could take home our booklet "Meine Eltern sind Immobiliengutachter“ (“My parents are surveyors”). Yet curiosity prevailed, and many stayed to discuss the possibilities of enhancing portfolios with ESG data. Another topic was how Lora could be integrated more comprehensively to bring the back office and the market even closer together.


The Sparkassentag 2025 was an enriching event for us in every respect. In addition to the many interesting conversations at the stand, we were able to listen to various presentations by political and economic figures. And of course, networking was also a key focus. We had the opportunity to exchange views with many different people on current trends and topics that perhaps had nothing to do with banking-related valuation for a change.

Our takeaway was that on-geo and our solutions were perceived as a well-known and valued partner. I won’t lie: it felt good to hear this directly and to know that we are an important point of contact in the industry. For us, this made the event a complete success, and we are already looking forward to the next one!

By the way: the next Sparkassentag will take place in 2028 in Erfurt. It goes without saying that we want to be there again – perhaps with one or two events on the evening before!

“My parents are surveyors” – the first children’s book in the #ImmoMinis series is here!

Yes, you read that correctly: a children’s book. And not just any book, but the first children’s book for little property valuation experts – created in cooperation with HypZert GmbH and with plenty of passion, enthusiasm and, of course, a good dose of real estate love.


**Why a children’s book?**

If you are now wondering “Why on earth a children’s book about property valuation?”, then let me explain briefly.

About a year ago, at the “Treffpunkt Immobilienkommunikation”, I was musing during a panel discussion. I talked about podcasts, internships and how to inspire young people for the real estate industry. And suddenly the idea appeared: why not start much earlier? Why not spark enthusiasm for our sector already in childhood?

The idea was there, and so was the motivation – only the detailed expertise for every potential specialism was missing. But fortunately, there were people in the audience with exactly that expertise – and with the desire to join in. There was a warm “I’m happy to be part of this!” and I knew: we’ll do it.


**From the idea to the #ImmoMinis book series**

With a bit of persuasion I was also able to excite my colleagues at on-geo GmbH (including approval of the budget – thanks again!). And so we began with a topic close to our heart: **valuation experts and surveyors.**

Together with the wonderful Tanja Reiss from HypZert, who brings real expertise to the table, we got to work. And eventually, there was Charly, our main character. Whether Charly is a boy or a girl? Each child decides that for themselves.

**What makes the book special**

“My parents are surveyors” is not a dry factual book. It is lovingly illustrated, told in a child-friendly way and gives a playful insight into the everyday work of property valuation experts. It is aimed both at children who want to understand what Mum or Dad actually do for a living, and at experts themselves who want to explain their profession to their families in a likeable way.

The illustrations are hand-painted, the texts written by humans – without ChatGPT or Midjourney. And you can feel that in the book: it is created with genuine passion! 


**What comes next**

This book is only the beginning. It marks the launch of the new #ImmoMinis series. More books are already being planned – featuring other professions in the real estate industry and additional co-authors from the sector.

For our goal is clear: we want to inspire the next generation for the exciting, diverse and often underestimated world of the real estate industry. And what could be better suited for that than a children’s book?

Towards digital mortgage processes: real estate professionals in dialogue

Expert opinions matter – especially in the real estate industry. With this in mind, we created our format “The Expert Talk” to engage in dialogue with experienced professionals on the digitalisation of the mortgage sector.

And the results speak for themselves: in four episodes so far, we have invited the crème de la crème of the real estate industry every second Wednesday of the month from 9:00 to 9:30 to discuss mortgage financing, loan decisions and much more.

However, this is not merely an analogue conversation between experts, but an interactive event via Teams: the audience can ask questions and participate in numerous polls of each episode. And it is well received: up to 60 participants per episode have already joined us as viewers, and we have delved into many different topics.

**Curtain up!**

On 13 November 2024 we kicked off with our first guest: Ralph Korduan, expert for property valuation HypZert F/M. With him we discussed the differing views of object values from sales and back office. The valuation of the object does not match the mortgage lending value used in the back office. The result: financing collapses and hard-won notary appointments fall through. But our Expert Talk is just as solution-oriented as our software, and this is where Lora comes in. Thanks to the web-based software, customers can automatically generate an initial value indication for residential properties, multi-family houses or mixed-use properties in minutes. The advantage: loan decisions are accelerated and notary appointments no longer need to be cancelled.

**The master of document procurement**

In the second episode we welcomed Senior Sales Account Manager Raymond Durant. With him we talked about perhaps the biggest pain point and time-consuming task in any mortgage process: document procurement.

With more than 20 years of experience, he knows firsthand how arduous the procurement of essential documents for property valuation can be, and is internally known as the showstopper of document procurement. He is the man behind the software that can solve this problem. We are talking about Geoport. Through our software solution, clients can access numerous data sets, reports and documents such as contamination and building encumbrance information, declarations of division and floor plans, helping them to value properties efficiently, carry out market analyses and make well-founded decisions. Land register extracts at the touch of a button, one could say.

**Mortgage financing made easy**

However, there was another topic close to our hearts: mortgage financing from the insurer’s perspective. So we spontaneously invited Maximilian Schroll. As Managing Director of yumata consulting GmbH, he shared his perspective on the challenges of mortgage financing. Among other things, we discussed the issue of long processing times resulting from a shortage of skilled workers, which often leads to delays in financing. Here too, we already had the right solution ready: the fully automated mortgage software baufi.me makes it possible to design the entire process from lead to back office efficiently — saving resources, time and ensuring transparency.

**The journey continues**

In the most recent, fourth episode, we brought another guest into the Expert Talk: Stefan Hodolitsch, Senior Project Manager at Interhyp AG. With him we discussed the bank-specific property value. Although broker and mortgage platforms were originally intended as temporary solutions, every second mortgage application is now submitted through these platforms. They have since become an integral part of the loan and approval process. Accurate property values are essential to ensure good cooperation between customers, brokers and lenders.

But that’s not all: the next Expert Talk is already in progress, and we are delighted to welcome Alexander Naumann – Senior Director at 1822direkt – as our next guest. We will be drawing on his expertise on the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in mortgage financing.
