Nathalie Tegethoff on trust, attitude and the culture at Black Label Immobilien
Together instead of next to each other
Nathalie Tegethoff has been responsible for finances at Black Label Immobilien for more than eleven years. She shapes the strategic brand orientation and, together with Achim Amann and Andreas Müller, leads a team that stands for openness, trust and joint growth. Three areas of responsibility that are not a contradiction in terms for her, but rather an expression of an attitude: economic clarity, human closeness and responsibility for the whole.
„I love achieving goals - and I firmly believe that we can achieve them better together than alone“, says Nathalie. This sentence describes what drives her. For her, success is not an individual triumph, but the result of trust, communication and cohesion.
That's why she makes sure that there is room for encounters in everyday life - lunch together, discussions in the kitchen, team events or excursions. „Our brokers take this positive energy with them to their customers“, she explains. Such moments give rise to tangible authenticity - the basis for turning colleagues into a team that speaks the same language.
Attitude changes perception
Nathalie Tegethoff knows that the image of the estate agent is not always a good one. „Partly justified“, she says openly. But instead of distancing herself from the weaknesses of the industry, she favours change through attitude.
For them, credibility begins within the company. If you want to live transparency, fairness and respect, you first have to anchor them in your own behaviour. „The way we treat each other - transparently and fairly - is also the way we treat our customers.“ Under her co-responsibility, Black Label Immobilien has developed into a brand that focuses on integrity rather than staging. Here, brand does not mean appearance, but reality.
The aim is clear: to contribute in the long term to ensuring that the work of estate agents is once again perceived as what it is at best - an honest, professional and responsible profession that accompanies people in important life decisions.
Growing through responsibility
Anyone who works with Nathalie Tegethoff quickly realises that for her, leadership means empowering people - not controlling them. As the contact person for contracts, budgets and strategic issues, she always maintains an overview without losing sight of the personal.
„There are no problems for me in that sense - only solutions. Maybe a building site, but no problems.“ This sentence aptly summarises her attitude: calm, solution-oriented and approachable.
It attaches particular importance to the further development of each individual. There are coaching programmes, mentoring and events that inspire and connect. From working students to experienced property experts - everyone should have the opportunity to learn new things, take on responsibility and surpass themselves. For Nathalie Tegethof, this attitude is part of the company's strategic DNA. Because a team that is allowed to develop further becomes more resilient, creative and loyal - and that is precisely what makes Black Label Immobilien strong.
Private and professional life in harmony
In addition to her responsibilities at the company, Nathalie Tegethoff is also the mother of a young son. She knows how challenging it can be to combine family and career - and how important it is to have structures that make both possible.
It is precisely this experience that characterises her view of leadership and cooperation. She understands that flexibility, trust and mutual respect not only make everyday family life easier, but also strengthen cooperation within the company.
Giving people freedom creates loyalty. Those who focus on understanding create loyalty.
This is how Nathalie Tegethoff manages not to separate her private and professional lives, but to keep them in balance. Both are part of the same attitude: taking responsibility for what is entrusted to you, both professionally and privately.
