Ms. Helga Brun as best real estate manager and Ms. Astrid Grantner MSc MRICS as best real estate service provider.

After her graduation from the program “Technology and Law in Real Estate Management" at TU Wien, Ms. Brun took over the family firm.

In addition to managing her two firms, Ms. Brun is also active as examiner for trade examinations.

For the next ten years, Ms. Brun has set herself the goal of optimizing her "...administrative building stock structurally and economically, implementing further building projects with sustainable energy and creating affordable housing."

Astrid Grantner MSc MRICS has been responsible for real estate valuation in the EHL Group for more than five years and has been Managing Director since the independent company was founded in 2017.

Ms. Grantner studied Real Estate Investment and Valuation at TU Wien, is a member of RICS and a sworn and court-certified expert.

As for her goals for the next few years, Ms. Grantner says: "I have to admit that I am not one of those people who set specific long-term goals. It is important to me to drive the development of EHL Immobilien Bewertung GmbH forward every day together with my great team. From my daily work as a real estate service manager, I see the entire personnel area as one of the most important topics. And this is indeed not a future topic, but requires full attention right now. In addition, the topic of ESG will, of course, significantly determine the next few years for all those working in the industry."
