Sell an apartment building in Vienna
Discreetly, without public listings.
We manage off-market sales of Viennese apartment buildings to selected, pre-screened private investors, family offices and developers. We agree the buyer approach and release of information with you. Philipp Trattner remains your personal point of contact.
Your apartment building needs the right buyer group.
An apartment building sale is about more than reach and an asking price. Tenancy structure, income, building condition and the interests of those involved need to fit together. A targeted approach limits the recipient group and enables coordinated communication.
We select prospects according to location, condition, tenancy structure and investment size. Budget, financing capacity and the decision-making process form part of initial screening. We report to you personally on discussions, feedback and next steps.

Frequently asked questions
How does a discreet apartment building sale work?
We first agree the property, objectives and intended buyer group. The approach is targeted rather than through public property portals. The information released at each stage is agreed for the mandate.
How are brokerage and advisory services remunerated?
Brokerage remuneration is agreed before appointment. For a standalone valuation, fees are available on request and the scope is agreed in advance. Further advisory work is commissioned separately. There is no automatic credit against brokerage remuneration.
Which documents do I need for an initial assessment?
An up-to-date rent roll, available floor-area documentation and plans, and information about condition, vacancy and known major works are useful. More detailed assessment also requires leases and amendments, among other documents. We identify missing documents openly rather than replace their contents with assumptions.
Why is a price per square metre not enough for a valuation?
Rental income, contract structure, running expenses, condition and assessable development opportunities can vary substantially between two buildings. A blanket price per square metre does not adequately reflect those differences.
How long does a sale take?
Following an initial review, we discuss a timetable for your property. Price expectations, available documentation, buyer financing and the required assessments are decisive. We identify outstanding prerequisites early and agree the next steps with you personally.
Can I sell a tenanted apartment building?
Yes. However, a sale does not automatically end existing tenancies. The applicable rights and obligations depend on the specific property, the scope of the Austrian Tenancy Act and the contracts. Legal assessment belongs with the relevant legal advisers.
What matters when there are several owners or the building is inherited?
Before a binding sale decision, it must be clear who has authority to dispose of the property or represent the owners, and which consents are required. We can prepare a common commercial basis for the decision. Inheritance and ownership law, and the contract structure, need to be addressed with the relevant legal advisers or notary.
How is the brokerage mandate structured?
We agree the scope, duration, remuneration and coordination of the buyer approach before appointment. This includes clarifying whether an exclusive brokerage mandate is intended for your sale. You know who is responsible for each task.
Can you guarantee that nobody will hear about the sale?
We limit the approach to selected, pre-screened prospects and agree the release of information with you. This supports a discreet process but does not guarantee absolute secrecy. Required disclosures and the involvement of other parties are taken into account.
Why owners come to us
We combine brokerage with Philipp Trattner's eight years of personal real estate experience and a clear view of the eventual sale. This allows us to assess income, development potential and buyer requirements together, and prepare your sale on an understandable basis.
Brokerage and our own project participation are different roles. We agree the mandate, representation of interests and remuneration in advance. Any potential participation of our own is disclosed and agreed separately.
