Sell your hotel or office building discreetly
For hotels and office properties, the sale process must work alongside day-to-day operations. We broker properties in Vienna and across Austria off-market, agreeing the prospect pool, document release and communication with you.
Discretion starts with a clear process.
A public sale process can raise questions among staff, tenants and business partners. Before approaching buyers, we therefore establish which information is needed at each stage and who should be included in the communication.
We approach selected, pre-screened prospects and release identifying information in agreed stages. Confidentiality agreements support this process. We report to you personally on discussions, feedback and next steps, while taking account of any required disclosures.

Frequently asked questions
How can a hotel sale be prepared discreetly?
By selecting and pre-screening prospects, releasing documents in stages and aligning communication with the hotel's ongoing operation. We agree the approach and next steps with you personally. Absolute secrecy cannot be guaranteed; required disclosures are still taken into account.
Does an asset deal exclude the business, while a share deal includes it?
No. In an asset deal, the question is which assets or business units are being transferred. In a share deal, company shares are acquired; what the company actually owns or operates needs separate examination. The property and hotel business may be held by different legal entities.
Can an office building with vacant space be sold?
Yes. Vacancy is a characteristic of the property, not a complete sales strategy. Existing use, condition, lettability and potential new concepts need to be assessed. Conversion potential becomes a credible selling point only when the key legal, technical and commercial prerequisites have been established.
Which buyers are suitable for an operational property?
That depends on whether the proposed sale concerns a property with existing occupation agreements, a business, company shares or another clearly defined structure. Only that distinction enables a precise approach to investors, operators or developers. A general list of interested buyers is no substitute for assessing the specific fit.
What does support with the sale cost?
We agree the scope of work and brokerage remuneration before appointment. Standalone valuations are available with fees on request. Further advisory work and detailed preparation are agreed separately, without automatic fee credits. Legal and tax transaction advice remains separate.
How do you coordinate the timetable and report on progress?
At the outset, we discuss a process that fits the sale structure, available documents, existing contracts and expected due diligence. During marketing, we personally update you on discussions, feedback and the next steps. We approach selected, pre-screened prospects and assess developments in direct conversation with you.
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.
You speak directly to the managing director.
