The Graz metropolitan area is currently recording the strongest population growth in Austria. The resulting need for housing and the uninterrupted new building campaign are one of the reasons that the real estate service provider Rustler has grown steadily in this dynamic environment. The team around branch manager Georg Habersatter already has over 20 employees and covers all ser-vices in the management of real estate in Styria.
Taking care of condominium is one of the most important and central areas of business. The smooth operation, professional cost management and sustainable preservation of the value of the properties are key issues for the property management team at Rustler Styria, for which Michaela Jaklitsch (30) is now responsible as the new team leader for condominium. The experienced prop-erty manager moved to Rustler in 2019.

In the spring of this year, the real estate company of Rustler was commissioned with the exclusive exploitation of a historic apartment building from private hands.
Within a few weeks, this property in Innsbruck's prime location was successfully placed with a Tyrolean investor and real estate developer. It was agreed not to disclose the purchase price, but the seller's purchase price expectations were exceeded.
"Thanks to the structured process and our portfolio of investment customers, the apartment building was able to be sold quickly and successfully", says the branch manager of Rustler Tirol, Gerhard Hauer, happily.
"The deal creates additional synergies, as we can continue to support both contractual partners in real estate management", adds Rustler real estate agent Werner Vorauer.
With this brokerage, Rustler is continuing the successful management of investment properties on the domestic real estate market and has been able to position itself increasingly on the Tyrolean market in recent years.

After several successfully completed residential construction projects in the neighboring district of Vienna Meidling, the property developer Rustler started with two in-house developments in Liesing. After the first project in Franz-Heider-Gasse 10 was recently handed over to the new owners after completion, the sale in Löwenthalgasse 23 took place even faster. The last apartment in the so-called "Twenty3" found its buyer six months before completion.
“The project also impressed our customers with the size of the building, since with a total of 14 apartments it is a comparatively small and easily manageable property for future residents,” says Rustler real estate agent Alissa Oppitzhauser about her experiences with the interested parties. In this way, the project fits perfectly into the partially rural-looking environment.
"Despite the location on the outskirts of the city, Liesing train station as a traffic junction and the Riverside shopping center can be reached in just three minutes on foot," added the authorized signatory of the Rustler property developer, Alexandra Neumann-Hanns, to the customers' motives for buying.

After four successful residential projects in neighboring Meidling, Rustler developed the first own project in the district Liesing.

With the completion, all apartments have been successfully exploited and handed over to the new owners. “The project fulfills many criteria that have become more important for those looking for accommodation, also due to Covid-19,” explains the managing director of the property developer Rustler, Markus Brandstätter. These include the increased desire for open spaces as well as the increasing demand in the outskirts and in Vienna's southern suburbs.
Accordingly, all apartments in Franz-Heider-Gasse have loggias, terraces or balconies, the ground floor apartments also have their own gardens. “The balancing act between a rural environment and urbanity has succeeded here. The proximity of the Liesing train station ensures very good transport connections, and a high quality of life is also achieved through the many surrounding leisure facilities and a diverse range of retail options”, says Rustler real estate agent Alissa Oppitzhauser about her experiences with those interested in apartments.

Ottakring has developed into a very popular residential district in recent years. In particular, the Neulerchenfeld area, which also surrounds the Brunnenviertel, has an excellent infrastructure and transport links.

The Rustler Group opened its Linz branch around 10 years ago and provides real estate services on the Upper Austrian market. In addition to the concentration on the urban agglomerations and the lake area, three years ago we also entered the Salzburg real estate market, which is serviced by a separate branch office on site.
Currently, the team managed by the head of branch Thomas Kastner already employs around 20 people, and the service activities will be expanded in the coming years. After more than nine years, Rustler has now moved to a larger office in a central location in the City Tower. The services in Upper Austria include property management, facility management and real estate brokerage.
“We want to drive our growth consistently and focus on quality in the provision of our services. The consistent quality standard at all locations is also becoming increasingly important because many of our clients own properties in several federal states. We also recognize that clients who previously owned primarily regional properties, that real estate markets in other federal states are also in demand for portfolio expansions”, reports Thomas Kastner.

For 10 years now Rustler has been active with a broker location in Mödling and was able to quickly establish a high reputation and market presence. At the end of 2018, a new, larger and centrally located location in the immediate vicinity of the pedestrian zone in the city centre of Mödling was selected and designed as a “street office”.
“Due to the optimal location of our office and the continuous opening hours from Monday to Friday, our location can be visited by interested buyers and sellers and used for customer appointments”, reports team leader Daniela Andre-Simonnet (46), who has been working for Rustler since 2013 and played a key role in setting up activities in southern suburbs of Vienna.
The Rustler team at the Mödling branch currently has five employees. Last year, they managed around 100 purchase and rental transactions and brokered all types of real estate, from apartments and single or multi-family houses to office space and commercial properties.
In addition to its core competence in the Mödling district, the team focuses on cities and communities of the “Wienerwald” as well as in the south on the region up to Wiener Neustadt and in the east as far as Northern Burgenland.

With its commercial management, the Rustler property management offers a special service for real estate developers or owners who want to outsource only parts of the property management.
“We are pursuing the goal of relieving property owners, who basically manage their properties themselves, in the area of real estate accounting”, comments Walter Seierl, the authorized signatory of the Rustler property management, explaining the benefits of the service.
Communication with tenants or flat owners continues to take place in the name of the respective property owner or client. “The client’s logos are automatically taken over, and, if desired, they can also be sent via accounts of the respective client”, Seierl continues. Rustler thus takes a back seat as a service provider.
Support for real estate developers and owners is provided within the framework of this “commercial management”, for example in the areas of advance notices and reminders, operating cost statements, posting of account statements, payments and posting of incoming invoices, as well as the value assurance of rents.
