We will arrange everything involved with
purchasing your dream luxury villa. We will pick you up at the airport in
Greece, take you to your hotel, and then to our office, where we will assist you
in finding your dream property. Homes are available in are in all price
ranges. Once you find a house, apartment, or villa, we will guide you through
the purchase process.
We will assist you with:
Negotiations with the
Seller- We will act as your agent in
completing the sale.
Selecting an Attorney-There is no escrow system in Greece. To complete the sale of the property, you must hire an attorney who will research titles and claims to make sure that you are purchasing the property from the rightful owner, and it is free of liens.
Selecting a Notary (Symvoliographos)-This individual makes sure that all paper work is in order. He or she gives the authority to sell the house and verifies that the documents will be sent to the land registry.
Establishing a Bank Account in Greece-This general use bank account will be used in the property sale for wire transfer of funds and for payment of the sales price, fees and taxes. Later, you can use it as your general bank account in Greece.
Greek Government Requirements-We will obtain a Greek tax (social security equivalent) number for you, known as an AFM (a-fee-me). This personal document is required to complete the sale. We will also facilitate the payment of land registration fees (these fees are about 2% of the sales price) and property taxes (generally about 9% to 11% of the sales price). The buyer is responsible for all taxes involved with the transfer of property.
Completing
the Sale-The deed which is
signed two months following the signing of the sales contract. We will insure
that this document is filed properly.
