• What is the process of buying property in Greece?

  The process of buying property in Greece is long and arduous, especially when we are talking about buying property from abroad. Ploumis-Sotiropoulos stands by its Greek and foreign buyer clients and assists them at all stages including the down payment, the title check, the signing of the contract and the transfer to the mortgage registry. Our associates will advise you on the transfer costs, taxes and notary fees. The real estate market in Greece is booming and with the abundance of purchases and sales taking place daily, choosing the right partners is a key factor in the success of any purchase and sale. Golden Visa and non-dom purchases are fundamental elements of the real estate market.

• In which areas of Greece will I find luxury properties?

  Areas with luxurious properties in the Athens area include the following: in central Athens - Kolonaki, Presidential Palace, Mets and the historic center; in the northern suburbs - Paleo Psychico, Filothei, Kefalari, Kifisia, Politeia and Ekali ; in the southern suburbs - Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Kavouri, and the coastal region known as the Athenian Riviera. Outside of Athens, major areas include : the Saronic - Hydra, Spetses, and Porto Heli ; the Cyclades - Mykonos, Antiparos and Santorini ; the Ionian - Corfu, Ithaca, and Cephalonia. There are also luxurious properties in many other less well-known areas in Greece. In the center of Athens we offer luxury properties, detached houses and apartments with views of the Acropolis, newly built or listed with a swimming pool and with special features and amenities, such as spas, gyms, high-quality furniture and designs by important architects of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Villas in the Cyclades are offered in locations where properties are rarely found and include features such as heated swimming pools, access to private beaches, home cinema, open air gym and much more. The real estate on offer in the Athenian Riviera includes villas or apartments on the beach, facing the sea and with access to water sports. These homes can be used either as permanent or holiday homes.

The experience that our associates have built from sales in Greece and abroad, combined with the 100-year real estate archive of our company, make the product we offer unbeatable. The time we invest in clients to meet them in our office, show them the properties and understand their needs, make the relationship that is created between us very special.

• Are there career opportunities for real estate agents in Ploumis-Sotiropoulos?

  Ploumis-Sotiropoulos is actively looking for candidates to join the company and work on specific areas and types of properties. Interested associates of the company must have culture and university-level education. They do not need to have previous work experience or market knowledge. Our company will teach them these things and train them so that they do not try to "sell", but rather present the properties to clients in the best way, highlighting the advantages, but never hiding the disadvantages of each property. Only in this way are lifelong relationships built and misunderstandings and opportunistic buying and selling avoided.
