Stofanel
quality of life, without compromise
Meet The Owners - Interview with Ludwig Maximilian Stoffel
Imagination is a tortuous path of possibilities where at the end the possible becomes reality
What was the motivation to create Stofanel?
Stofanel was created because we wanted to do something special, something unique. The real estate business is something that like everything is always growing, always changing, so without new ideas there is no development. As in every area, you have to improve.
Also, I wanted to have my wife talking to me about interesting things. Like a farmer talking to his wife: are we harvesting today or tomorrow? What’s the weather like? What’s the price for potatoes next year? Are we breeding sheep or horses?
Two people came together and this is fortunate, because these two people want to create something special. I couldn’t create Stofanel without Giovanna: I think a family should work together - it keeps it interesting.
What is German reliability?
The Germans are famous for being on time, being reliable. But what are the Germans missing? An easy-going lifestyle. Why do the Germans go to Italy, wear Italian clothes, drink Italian wine? Because they’re not sure of their taste. The Germans usually don’t know what is really trendy, what is fashionable. The Italians are so sure: from clothes to glasses, from decoration to cars. They made Ferrari - however, a Mercedes is also nice because you have no problems with it.
If you buy from a reliable, German real estate company that has experience, that has a name, that has tradition, you can be sure that you have something with quality. That everything is delivered on time. We are a company with 100 years tradition. Three generations of experience in the German way of doing business.
When you buy a house you want it to last for hundreds of years, for eternity, to have it for the children, the grandchildren. This is the basic idea: safety, security. But when you look into most apartment buildings – what do you see? Ugly things without any feeling: a house, stones. Combine this practicality with Italian atmosphere, lifestyle, the details, the loving details… We want to create something that gives you all the quality you can dream of. We will create the difference - something that we can be proud of, and something that the people who buy can be proud of. Whatever we do, we’ll only do it if the location is unique, if the architecture is special, with the best architects for every project. We care for our buyers – we give them quality: quality of building and quality of life
