About IVV

IVV

IVV immobilien vermieten & verwalten is the nationwide specialist magazine for the property managers: published by the Berlin-based HUSS-MEDIEN GmbH, the magazine reaches with high journalistic competence the managers of residential and commercial properties and the investment decision-makers in the housing companies, housing cooperatives, and private housing enterprises across Germany. In its 27th volume, IVV is the forum for the constructive dialogue within the housing industry: the renting and managing, from the technology to the law, from the practice to the policy.

Overview

IVV appears as the property-management specialist magazine: the medium for the Verwalter (property managers) of the residential and commercial real estate, and for the investment decision-makers in the Wohnungsgesellschaften (housing companies), Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften (housing cooperatives), and private housing enterprises, nationwide. The editorial program informs comprehensively on the topic areas: the Wohnungswirtschaft (housing industry), the Gewerbeimmobilien (commercial properties), the Technik (technology), the Management, the Recht (law), and the editorial focus specials on the current modernization, renovation, and energy topics that shape the building stock.

The magazine's positioning is the practitioners' forum: the effective contacts to the property-management companies, the housing construction companies, and the private housing enterprises, guaranteed by the nationwide reach and the 27-year tradition. The crossmedia offering extends the magazine: the website, the weekly newsletter, the special publication, the online trainings with the top-class speakers, and the IVV specialist events, a versatile information spectrum with the multimedia content for the modern property managers.

The Energy Transition in the Buildings

The energy transition in the buildings that IVV covers is the property management's defining challenge: the heating transition away from the fossil fuels, the efficiency retrofits of the millions of units, and the climate-neutral building stock that the law demands. The magazine's editorial focus specials on the modernization, renovation, and energy topics guide the managers: the technical solutions, the financing, and the legal requirements.

The managers that the magazine serves implement this transition: the heating replacements, the insulation, and the renewable installations, decided in the owners' meetings and financed through the reserves. The investment decision-makers that the magazine reaches fund it: the housing companies' and cooperatives' billions. The magazine's role is the translation: from the energy law's paragraphs to the managers' practice, from the technology's promises to the buildings' reality. In the transition where the buildings cause the significant emissions, the magazine tells the property industry how to decarbonize.

History

IVV's history spans 27 volumes: the magazine was founded in the late 1990s as the HUSS-MEDIEN's property-management title, serving the Verwalter through the decades of the housing industry's transformation. The HUSS-MEDIEN GmbH, Am Friedrichshain 22, 10407 Berlin, with the publisher Wolfgang Huss, built the magazine into the nationwide specialist medium: the overregional magazine that the property managers read, trust, and recommend. The editor Thomas Engelbrecht leads the editorial: the journalistic competence for the housing industry, with the team that understands the Verwalter's everyday.

The magazine's development tracked the property management's professionalization: from the caretaking to the certified administration, from the paper files to the digital management, from the energy ignorance to the climate responsibility, decade by decade. The "Zertifizierter Verwalter" (certified manager) online training reflects this: the magazine educates the profession it serves. The modernization, renovation, and energy specials reflect the building stock's transformation: the magazine guides the managers through the energy transition.

Coverage and Content

The housing-industry coverage addresses the renting and managing: the residential properties' administration, the commercial properties' management, and the investment decisions. The technology coverage addresses the building technology: the heating, the sanitation, and the digitalization. The management coverage addresses the business: the processes, the personnel, and the strategy. The law coverage addresses the regulation: the tenancy law, the condominium law, and the energy law.

The focus specials address the current: the modernization and renovation projects in the building stock and the new buildings, the energy topics from the heating transition to the efficiency. The online trainings address the education: the high-class speakers teaching the managers, the 60 teaching units callable anytime, unlimited, and repeatedly. The events address the exchange: the IVV specialist events with the content cooperation for the companies.

The Property Managers

The property managers that IVV serves administer the German housing: the millions of rental units, the condominiums, and the commercial spaces, in the cities and the countryside. The managers' work combines the technical with the legal, the commercial with the human: the maintenance and the modernization, the rent collection and the tenant relations, the owners' meetings and the energy retrofits, day after day. The magazine speaks to this work: the comprehensive information on the topics that the managers need, delivered with the journalistic competence they trust.

The investment decision-makers that the magazine reaches decide the building stock's future: the modernization and renovation projects, the new buildings, and the energy investments that shape the decades. The magazine's high sold circulation and subscription circulation (IVW-audited) document the reach: the decision-makers who invest. In the housing where the energy transition demands the billions, the magazine tells the managers and the investors what they need to know, issue after issue.

The Certified Manager

The "Zertifizierter Verwalter" (certified manager) that IVV's online training creates is the property management's professionalization: the managers proving their competence through the structured education. The online training's 60 teaching units, callable anytime, unlimited, and repeatedly, fit the working managers: the education alongside the practice. The magazine's role as the educator extends its journalism: not just informing the profession, but qualifying it.

The professionalization reflects the management's growing demands: the energy law's complexity, the digitalization's tools, and the tenants' expectations. The certified managers signal the quality: the owners and the tenants trusting the qualified administration. The magazine's training, with the contact to the editor-in-chief Thomas Engelbrecht, connects the education with the editorial: the practitioners learning from the journalists who cover their industry. In the profession where the trust matters, the certification is the signal.
