Development of Greek Real Estate
The best return of your Greek real estate (e.g. a plot, vacant or not) may sometimes lie in its development rather
than its sale. Accordingly, we can locate and enter into agreements with contractors and/or other professionals for the
building of your property to your wishes and specifications. Keep in mind the very convenient vehicle of "anti-parohi"
which practically results in your attaining one or more completed apartments in exchange of your plot to the
contractor's disposal.
