We started PropertyAgora because we felt something was missing in the Greek real estate market: a clear, transparent way for international buyers and tenants to find properties – without all the middlemen.
Our own story started in 2021, when we moved to Greece and like many internationals (and locals) struggled with getting a clear, reliable view of properties for rent or sale. We found the big sites cluttered with outdated, vague, or duplicate listings, and language barriers with realtors only made it harder to navigate.
With thousands of realtor firms and countless solo agents, Greece’s real estate market is highly fragmented. Property owners often list with multiple agents to maximize reach, leading to duplicate listings and agents withholding key information, such as the full address, to prevent buyers from bypassing them. The result? Buyers can’t access all the details they need before a viewing, wasting time for everyone involved and making it nearly impossible to get a comprehensive view of the market online.
After a frustrating search, we finally managed to buy directly from an owner, saving thousands in fees and realizing there could be a better way. While we understand that many property owners wish to work with realtors, we also know there are owners who are happy to connect directly with prospective buyers and tenants – and vice versa.
PropertyAgora is just a simple listings site (and we are still working on it!) – but our goal is to make things more transparent and straightforward. We want to create a place where buyers, sellers, and renters can connect directly – with honest listings, real addresses, and exterior photos – making it easier for everyone to find their next home or investment while saving on fees for both sides.
