CBRE announces that Sandro Höselbarth (48) will take on the role of Managing Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services Germany, as of 1 January 2026. In this position, Höselbarth will assume overall responsibility for commercial and residential valuations in Germany.
With more than 25 years of experience in the real estate industry – including around 18 years at CBRE – Sandro brings extensive expertise and long-standing leadership experience. Since 2008, he has been a valued leader in the company and has built up a successful residential valuation business.
“With Sandro Höselbarth, we have gained an experienced expert for this role who, together with his team, has already played a key part in shaping the development of our Valuation & Advisory Services division. I am confident that with his commitment and expertise Sandro will continue to drive the successful development of the entire Valuation & Advisory Services business.”

We would like to thank Simon Ritsch, who will leave CBRE at his own request at the end of the year after 19 years of successful service as Head of Valuation & Advisory Services Germany.
“Simon has made a decisive contribution to the development of the division with his expertise and dedication. We thank him for his many years of commitment to CBRE and wish him all the best for the future,” said Clare Sheils.
“A successful valuation business thrives on reliability, professionalism and accuracy – and on the transparency of its results. It is precisely these values that I will continue to build on and nurture in the long term – as the best foundation for our continued growth.”
