The problem: Property portals tell you what is for sale. They do not tell you what you should do next. A first-time buyer in Germany has to juggle a search, a budget they cannot turn into a monthly payment, unfamiliar terms like Eigentumswohnung and Grunderwerbsteuer, and a chain of real actions — book a viewing, send an inquiry, start a listing — usually across five tabs and an agent's voicemail. A normal chatbot makes this worse: you still do not know whether the house it described is real, or whether it just booked something you did not confirm.
The solution: Nikan is a real-estate consultant you talk to in plain English. Point it at the platform and ask "I want a house in Stuttgart under 600k with a garden," "What would 490k cost per month with 100k down?" or "What is an Eigentumswohnung?" It searches the actual inventory, remembers your budget and saved homes after you log out, and explains German buying rules with the passage it used. Every answer shows the tool it called, so you can see it is not making the listing up. It will not book a viewing, send an inquiry, or save a listing draft until you say yes in a later message — and the server checks that yes, so the model cannot skip it.
