Background

About Markus Hoecherl

Real estate is one of the world's most complex industries — and I've spent 20+ years operating at its most demanding intersections. From being part of executing the $35B New Songdo City master plan at KPF and leading developments of W Hotels & Residences across North America at Starwood, to advising institutional investors, family offices, and developers through my independent practice — every mandate has reinforced the same discipline: see the full picture before you move. Physical feasibility, financial performance, market dynamics, operational risk — simultaneously, not sequentially. I call it 360° thinking. It's not a framework I learned. It's what the work demanded. That discipline led directly to Domunus — a B2B transaction management platform I founded, patented, and have spent years developing and refining based on firsthand deal friction. The premise is straightforward: real estate transactions are extraordinarily complex, but the infrastructure most practitioners use to manage them is not. Domunus changes that — a unified workspace where buyers, sellers, brokers, and service providers collaborate across the full transaction lifecycle with structured workflows, clear accountability, and documented decision trails. The platform has earned two Best Transaction Management Platform awards and multiple cover features in industry publications. I also teach Strategic Asset Management at the NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate — a role that keeps my frameworks honest. Real practitioners sit in those sessions. That constant pressure-testing is one reason my work product, whether for clients or for Domunus, stays grounded in what deals actually require. My activity crosses various real estate sectors: advancing the emerging company Domunus through pilot clients and strategic partnerships; open to advising institutional and entrepreneurial real estate clients where deep transactional and operational experience creates direct value; maximizing real estate value through teaching at New York University. If any of these intersect with something you're working on — or if you're navigating a complex transaction or deal process and need a solution or a second perspective — don't hesitate and reach out.
