Financing property in Germany (with Kerstin Brunner)
Kerstin Brunner is a finance coach, and she comes on the podcast to discuss what goes into buying property in Germany. First we look at how to decide if purchasing a property is right for you. Then we consider the additional costs (notary fee, agent fee, etc.). And she walks us through all the steps, from deciding you want to buy through to getting the keys.
If you have questions for Kerstin, you can find her on LinkedIn.

House hunting, finding day care, and handling rough starts (Wafeeqa from Saudi Arabia)
When Wafeeqa and her family moved to Germany, they thought things would be easier: her husband had a job, and his employer was arranging accommodation for them. Plus, they both had experience with learning languages, so they thought maybe German wouldn't be too much of a challenge. But as is so often the case, things didn't go according to plan...
Wafeeqa discusses finding a place to live, finding daycare for her twins, trying not to disturb neighbors, and more.

Kundenrezensionen
A wealth of knowledge and humour
I came across this podcast when I was part of the parkrun group interviewed for one of the earlier podcasts. I have become a regular listener (having never really been a podcast listener before). I have lived in Germany for 7 years and to listen to other people’s experiences and realize that I am not alone or crazy, has been wonderful. I love the humour in these podcasts, I love the sincerity, I love the sympathy and I love the honesty. Anyone who has moved to Germany or thinking of moving to Germany should have a listen.
Lots of practical advices
Very lively podcast with a whole bunch of stories and practical advices. Way to go Shaun!
Story-sharing in a fun way!
So many different stories of people with diverse backgrounds end up discovering the joys (and sometimes woes) of living in Germany.
Thanks to Shaun we get to hear and learn from them!
Hope to enjoy many more new episodes... :)
