Ms. Karin Huemer
Our agency was established by my husband Wilhelm Huemer 1985 and is located in the center of Linz.
I work since nearly 20 years as a real estate agent and do administration and often I meet interested clients and show our objects to buy or to hire. Also I visit people who want to sell or to rent. We have a secretary and one sales representative. I work mainly in Linz and surroundings.
I enjoy my job because every house or flat is different and every client also. So I need a lot of diplomacy to make good business.
