Scout24

Scout24 operates ImmoScout24, a leading digital marketplace for residential and commercial real estate across Germany. The platform effectively connects homeowners, real estate agents, tenants, and prospective buyers. It provides extensive services and market transparency, simplifying complex real estate decisions while consistently developing new digital products to facilitate property transactions.

The company was established in 1998 by internet entrepreneur Joachim Schoss, with initial financial backing from Otto Beisheim. Schoss identified the significant potential to digitize property listings and streamline connections within the fragmented real estate market, which formed the foundational insight for the creation of the ImmoScout24 platform.

ImmoScout24 serves a diverse user base, including property owners, professional agents, and individuals seeking to rent or purchase real estate. Scout24’s overarching vision is to cultivate a comprehensive digital ecosystem that enables entirely digital real estate transactions, continuously enhancing its offerings for buying, renting, and commercial properties to provide a seamless and transparent experience for all users.
