a mediator. Bringing tenants and owners<br />
together toward a consensus is a delicate and<br />
skillful juggling act. Transparency is particularly<br />
crucial here.<br />
„The Corona<br />
year has<br />
significantly<br />
increased the<br />
administrative<br />
workload for<br />
all property<br />
managers and<br />
landlords.“<br />
Andrea Dissauer,<br />
EHL Immobilien Management<br />
Do institutional investors tick differently<br />
here than private investors?<br />
Institutional investors have to be accountable<br />
to their investors. This is also a common<br />
thread in asset management. Foundation or<br />
fund directors must be able to prove that they<br />
have handled the money entrusted to them<br />
with care. An all-too-casual waiver of rental<br />
income, for example, could trigger claims for<br />
damages.<br />
that used to take place face-to-face are now<br />
being handled virtually. However, there is no<br />
substitute for personal contact, regardless of<br />
whether it concerns international owners or<br />
our own employees in Vienna, in Carinthia or<br />
Salzburg.<br />
Do you believe in the digital purchase<br />
contract via blockchain?<br />
One should distinguish between negotiation<br />
and settlement in this case. When<br />
negotiating, it is essential to get to know<br />
your counterpart. There are also emotions<br />
involved, and you should be able to feel<br />
them. Personal contact is very important<br />
here. Once everything has been negotiated,<br />
digital processes are faster and make work<br />
much easier. In three years‘ time, we will<br />
undoubtedly be surprised at how quickly this<br />
development has established itself.<br />
How do you define success? Would you<br />
describe yourself as ambitious?<br />
For me, success means being satisfied and<br />
happy with oneself. Ambitious? I pursue<br />
goals consistently. I keep at it, but at the<br />
same time I am careful not to lose myself.<br />
The most important thing for me is that my<br />
team, my family and I are all doing well. This<br />
is the be-all and end-all. And this motto has<br />
accompanied me for many years.<br />
You live in the Wechsel region and commute<br />
to Vienna. Do you drive or take the<br />
train?<br />
I usually drive, but the train is becoming more<br />
of an alternative, since the increasing volume<br />
of traffic. Sitting in traffic jams means that<br />
the time spent on the train could be used<br />
much better.<br />
How many kilometers do you cover in a<br />
year?<br />
Quite a few. I drive about 50,000 kilometers<br />
a year. Vienna, Graz, Salzburg or Carinthia,<br />
the properties we manage, are spread all over<br />
Austria.<br />
I also traveled by train for years. Going home<br />
by car is also a way to shake off the daily grind<br />
a bit and come down. In the morning, we talk<br />
on the phone and listen to music.<br />
Because you mentioned employee management<br />
earlier, what is a no-go for you?<br />
I like to approach people openly. I don‘t want<br />
to be lied to or tricked. If I sense that, I‘m<br />
disappointed, but thank God that has been an<br />
exception in my life.<br />
The gut feeling we discussed earlier?<br />
That‘s the gut feeling. I am not a resentful person,<br />
but I want to be able to rely on employees<br />
Does this mean significantly more documentation<br />
effort?<br />
There‘s no doubt about it: The Corona year<br />
has significantly increased the administrative<br />
workload for all property managers and<br />
landlords.<br />
... and driven digitization forward?<br />
The pandemic has significantly driven the<br />
digitization process. We at EHL have already<br />
digitized many processes. Many meetings<br />
