About

Diana Pankratz is a Capital Markets professional at Cushman & Wakefield, based in the Munich office. She advises clients on real estate investment transactions, bringing a focused and analytical approach to one of the most complex and consequential areas of commercial real estate advisory.

Diana has developed her expertise in capital markets through hands-on transactional experience, working with investors and owners navigating the German and broader European real estate investment landscape. Her background equips her to guide clients through the full arc of a transaction, from initial market analysis and asset evaluation through to deal structuring and execution.

Her advisory work is grounded in rigorous market intelligence and a clear-eyed understanding of what drives investment decisions. She combines deep knowledge of pricing dynamics, buyer and seller behaviour, and capital flows with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset that keeps transactions on track even in complex market conditions.

Diana's geographic focus centres on the German market, with Munich serving as her primary base. Germany remains one of Europe's most significant commercial real estate investment markets, and her positioning in the country's economic heartland gives her direct access to both domestic and cross-border capital sources active in the region.

Her transactional focus spans the investment market, where she works with a range of client types including institutional investors, private equity, and owner-occupiers seeking to optimise their real estate holdings through targeted acquisitions and disposals.
