Find Your Dream Home in Crete with your Property Search Assistants

Searching for the perfect property in Crete? We take the stress out of the process!

With our local knowledge and network of trusted specialists, we make finding, buying and managing your property in Crete smooth, efficient and rewarding.

Searching for your perfect property abroad can feel overwhelming and time-consuming, like navigating in the dark. It’s natural to feel uncertain or even helpless when faced with unfamiliar processes and local differences. Let us take that stress off your shoulders!

With our expertise and extensive knowledge of the local property market, we are here to guide you every step of the way. As property search assistants, we will leverage our local insight and property-finding skills to identify your ideal home. We handle the initial property searches, as well as a thorough local audit on your behalf.

After discussing your preferences, we will present you with a carefully curated shortlist of properties that match your criteria. We will then arrange visits on your behalf, saving you time and the costs of traveling to Crete for viewings. Thanks to our excellent relationships with local real estate agencies, we know exactly what properties are best suited to your needs.

If necessary, we will offer live video viewings so you can explore the property as if you were there in person. Once you’ve selected your favourites, we’ll negotiate on your behalf with the sellers or agents to ensure a smooth process, including setting up convenient viewing schedules.

We will also provide you with all the essential information on local regulations and procedures for buying property, saving you time, effort, and money. Using our local expertise, we frequently secure price reductions of around 5% off the initial asking price—often more than offsetting our fee and delivering exceptional value.

By working with us, you can enjoy several key benefits:
✔ Time and Effort Savings – We handle all the details, from property searches to viewings, ensuring your experience is as efficient and stress-free as possible.
✔ Local Knowledge – We have deep knowledge of the property market and local regulations, which means you get access to the best deals and can navigate the process smoothly.
✔ Price Negotiation – Our local expertise often results in price reductions, making your purchase more affordable and cost-effective.
✔ Comprehensive Services – Beyond helping you find your dream home, we also provide support with residency permits, the Golden Visa process, and connecting you with trusted local specialists, including lawyers, accountants, and notaries.
✔ Property Management – If you’re absent, we can manage your property, offering services such as garden care, building maintenance, and short-term rental management.

Our goal is to make the entire process of purchasing property in Crete as easy and pleasant as possible for you. Beyond business, we are deeply passionate about our island and aim to create a community of satisfied property owners and investors. As families ourselves, we understand what truly matters in life, and we are genuinely motivated to contribute to the positive, happy side of our world. We look forward to helping you make Crete your home!

Our fee structure is straightforward and transparent:
✔ We ask for a small retainer fee until we find your ideal property.
✔ Once you sign the purchase contract, we charge a 1% fee based on the purchase price.

We aim to make your property search and acquisition as smooth and enjoyable as possible, ensuring you get the best value while minimizing stress.
