Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Greece
Most people in Greece find an agent (mesitis) through the big property portals, where they spot the agencies that list the most homes in their target area, or through personal referrals. It is also common to contact or visit a local agency office in the neighborhood where you want to buy, sell, or rent.

Anyone.com
Most Greeks hunting agents spot them on Spitogatos or XE.gr in their target neighborhood; since local custom splits agent costs evenly between sides, a direct sale wipes out your seller commission. Anyone.com is where owners start: the platform takes no cut from your proceeds, puts you in charge of what you ask, and by its own count draws more than a million visitors a month. Most of the buyers who enquire are looking in the property's own market, and about a quarter of inquiries across the platform cross a border, so expats and Greeks relocating back home see your listing alongside the buyers already here. Buyers can opt into identity verification and are marked once they do; those who have not verified can still message you. Before advertising anywhere, hire a civil engineer to produce the Electronic Building Identity, which is mandatory and catches unauthorized structures early. Resolving those before a buyer appears is the single biggest thing you can do to keep the deal from stalling at the notary.

How to choose a good one
Contact a few agents who already list quality properties in your target area, ask about their recent local sales and their licence and GEMI registration, and remember that the agent commission is negotiable. Get the fee and services in writing before signing, and check whether the agent works mainly for the seller or can genuinely represent your side.
