If you’re buying property in Greece, here’s a little secret nobody tells you upfront:
👉 The tricky part isn’t always the negotiation.
👉 It’s the coordination that follows.
Many international buyers are surprised when deals slow down after the initial agreement.
Why does this happen? Is something wrong? Is someone backing out?
Usually, no. Most of the time, it’s simply a matter of how things work in Greece.
Here’s what can go wrong — even with the best intentions:
- Lawyers feel unsure, especially when large amounts are involved.
- Some legal or planning issues are just… complicated.
- Timelines? Not everyone sticks to them.
- Notary offices and lawyers may have communication gaps or slow paperwork.
It’s not about bad service – it’s just the system. And unless someone keeps everything moving, things tend to… slow down.
💡 That’s where a professional agent becomes the glue.
The agent is often the only one keeping all sides talking, documents flowing, deadlines visible, and everyone calm.
And honestly? When the agent is not involved past the first step, things tend to drift. A lot.
✅ A good agent doesn’t just show you a property.
✅ A good agent follows through until it’s yours.
👉 So if you’re buying in Greece, choose someone who understands the local pace – and knows how to keep things on track.
Because in this country, the difference isn’t just in the view.
It’s in the person helping you get the keys.
