"This affiliation strengthens our presence in Germany, where we already have offices in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Essen and Wiesbaden. Berlin is an exciting real estate market, and we are very pleased that our global clientele will have access to our services in this historic and beautiful city."
