No, an agent is optional; a Greek lawyer and a notary handle the legal side of the purchase. An agent adds sourcing, viewings, negotiation and coordination, and a buyer's agent, unlike the seller's listing agent, represents only you. Budget about 8–10% of the price for all purchase costs including an agent's commission, or roughly 5–7% without one.
Real estate companies with buyer-side teams, working alongside a Greek lawyer and a notary, which every purchase needs. Look for written fee terms, English-language reporting and independence from the seller. BUY GREECE® is a property technology real estate company with offices in Chicago and Glyfada, Athens, that handles search, due diligence and closing for US and international buyers.
Budget about 8–10% on top of the price including an agent's commission, or roughly 5–7% without one. The main items are the 3.09% transfer tax, charged on the higher of the price and the objective value, notary fees of about 0.8–1.2%, land registry or cadastre fees of about 0.5% and a lawyer at about 1–2% (2026 market guidance). A 15% transfer tax for non-EU buyers was announced for July 2027 but is not yet law.
A buyer's agent works only for the buyer, from the search through to the notary deed. It searches listed and private stock, checks title and permits with your lawyer, negotiates the price and coordinates the AFM, bank, notary and closing. The seller's listing agent, by contrast, is paid to get the seller the best price. Ask for the fee and the scope in writing before any search starts.
Yes. BUY GREECE® markets Greek homes to US and international buyers as well as local ones and coordinates the sale through to the notary deed, including by power of attorney. For individual sellers, the 15% capital gains tax is suspended until 31 December 2026; no extension had been enacted as of October 2026, so a Greek accountant should confirm your position before you price and time a sale.
