ABOUT NAVANI & MAIN
Built On a Question We Kept Hearing.
We started Navani & Main because too many capable, high-earning professionals building a life in Germany were making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives without a trusted advisor by their side. We believe buying property is about more than an investment, it's about finding a place to call home.
With over 18 years of experience in financial strategy and residential real estate advisory, we help international buyers navigate the German property market with clarity, confidence, and independent guidance. Every recommendation is tailored to your goals, your circumstances, and your future, ensuring you feel supported through every step of the journey.

Highly recommended! We felt very well supported throughout the entire process of purchasing my apartment. The detailed on-site property inspection and market value assessment, assistance with the mortgage broker, and support with the notary appointment, including translation, were especially valuable. The support in English, and German also made communication with everyone involved much easier.
