Reyton Scheffel
Our story
Atria came to life in 2020, more specifically on December 31st, as a token of a new time and opportunities after the pandemic’s first wave. We wanted to remember both events – one uncertain and one exciting – as happening simultaneously at the same year, because both types of moments make up our lives.
Since the end of 2020, we have been planning and working to bring an innovative way for real estate investments and property income. Opening the doors for any kind and size of investors to international properties, while at the same time bringing amazing properties and services to the market of digital nomads and traveller-living.
Our Team
We are made of world nomads, a mixture of cultures, passionate travellers and tech enthusiasts.
