was founded in 2017 in Berlin by Nick Mulder, Dr. Chris Mulder and Pavel Jurasek and is owned entirely by its founders. There is no bank, platform operator or financial investor behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every broker is paid by the lender. Ownership still differs: Interhyp is part of ING Group, which also lends mortgages itself; Dr. Klein belongs to Hypoport SE, which operates the Europace platform; Baufi24's majority owner is the investor Nordic Capital. Hypofriend's group also includes Investfriend and Pensionfriend; if we recommend one of them, we tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>How advisors are paid\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>At Hypofriend, every advisor is a full-time employee and there are no individual bonuses. Your advisor does not earn more if you borrow more, choose a particular bank or sign faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, Baufi24's own job ads offer employed advisors a fixed salary plus commission, while self-employed advisors are paid purely on results. Dr. Klein works with a franchise system of self-employed advisors. Interhyp mainly employs its advisors; its pay model is not published.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>Why comparing across platforms matters\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Many banks offer different terms on each broker platform, so comparing on a single platform shows only part of the market. Hypofriend works with both major platforms, Europace and eHyp, and picks the better available offer for the same bank. In our experience ING is the exception: it offers the same terms on every platform. For comparison, Dr. Klein uses its group's own platform Europace, and Interhyp uses its own platform eHyp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cb>A recommendation instead of a list of offers\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Hypofriend's recommendation engine was built by co-founder Dr. Chris Mulder, a former senior economist and manager at the IMF and the World Bank, where he developed models to help countries manage their debt. It compares options with different fixed-rate periods, repayment rates and down payments, stress-tests each one like a bank would, and recommends the one with the lowest expected total cost. The conditions of more than 750 lenders are reviewed daily to feed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhypofriend.de\u002Fen\u002Faccount\u002Fproperty-search\">Property Radar\u003C\u002Fa> bundles listings from the major property portals and rates the price.

A typical case: one partner is German, the other comes from abroad. You both see the same financing, each in your own language, and sign with the same understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other brokers also offer English-speaking advisors. At Hypofriend the entire digital product is in English too, not just the conversation.

Many banks offer different terms on different platforms; in our experience ING is an exception. Comparing across several platforms shows you more offers from the same bank.
