Retiretoaustria.com was formed as a direct result of the time and research that the we put in, before embarking on purchasing a retirement house in Carinthia (Karnten) for ourselves. We also benefited from 5 years previous experience of running a similar operation in Andalucia – www.alhamavillages.com . We have found out the hard way how much time and money can be wasted meeting with Agents to look at properties that:-

  • Did not come close to meeting the brief given to the Agent!
  • Were in a location that a little local knowledge would have ruled out!
  • Had already been sold, without notifying us in advance of our meeting!
  • Suffered a price increase – as soon as an “expat” was known to be interested.

From the outset, we decided that we would only work with carefully selected Estate Agents, who have a clear and unambiguous client contract – which defines the selling price and what their commission will be.

Boathouses

We have worked hard to develop relationships with Estate Agents who offer an intimate knowledge of all the villages and the, distinct, region of Carinthia that we represent. We do not cover areas of Austria, where we have insufficient knowledge to offer a good standard of service to our clients

Unlike Estate Agents, who work on behalf of the seller, we are a wholly independent property search company dedicated to working for you - The Buyer.

If you wish to avail yourselves of our service, please fully complete our detailed questionnaire and submit to us so that we may begin gathering information on all relevant properties on your behalf.

Once we have a clear understanding of your needs and situation, we will contact you and discuss your options fully.

Throughout the process we can recommend specialists to work on your behalf (English speaking Lawyers, help with translation, transfer of finance etc).

What does our service cost?

Our business model is very simple, and transparent. As you can see, below, you get the benefit of our local knowledge, detailed research and access to carefully selected professionals at no additional cost to you!

The Business Process

  • Fully complete questionnaire and send to us
  • We contact you to confirm details and feasibility within your budget
  • We undertake a detailed search for suitable properties
  • We arrange for you to view relevant properties, at a mutually agreed time and date

Please Note
We work on the same basis with all our carefully selected agents - thus ensuring that there is no "Bias" towards any one agent.
