In a year marked by geopolitical uncertainty and a softening of buyer enquiries across global luxury real estate, Greece’s prime and super-prime market has shown both resilience and opportunity. At Greece Sotheby’s International Realty, we have continued to navigate this environment with a focus on long-term value for our clients, delivering results that reinforce Greece’s standing among the Mediterranean’s most competitive destinations.

Over the past forty days, our team has completed €40 million in high-end property transactions, spanning the Cyclades, the Ionian, the historic heart of Athens, and the Athenian Riviera. Highlights include a landmark €8.2 million sale in Paros — one of more than 25 all-time national record transactions we have achieved in over 20 locations — and a €5.2 million sale in Skiathos, the island’s second highest on record with the number one transaction also achieved by Greece Sotheby’s International Realty . Additional notable sales in Corfu, Kefalonia, and Tinos reflect the breadth of our reach, while sustained activity on the Athens Riviera is on track to push our three-year total there beyond €100 million by September.

Greece in a Competitive Mediterranean Market

Greece’s luxury property sector competes directly with destinations of international renown — from the French Riviera and Mallorca to Sardinia and the Amalfi Coast — while also contending with emerging hotspots such as Croatia and Montenegro. Success in this arena requires more than desirable listings; it depends on consistent visibility, precise pricing, and the ability to build lasting trust with buyers.

Our recent results underscore the fact that Greece’s luxury offering is resonating strongly with high-net-worth clients seeking authenticity, rarity, and natural beauty — qualities that go beyond a purely transactional purchase. This is about securing exceptional assets with enduring appeal.

A Carefully Curated Portfolio

We represent a portfolio valued at over €1.5 billion, with an average property value of €3.3 million — the highest median in the Greek market. Every listing is selected for its location, design, and long-term investment potential. This deliberate curation ensures that our portfolio aligns with the aspirations of an international clientele whose decisions are guided by quality and distinctiveness.

An Experienced Sales Team

Our success is built on the expertise of a senior team whose individual track records range from €60 million to €300 million in closed transactions. This experience brings precision in valuation, strategic positioning in competitive markets, and strong negotiation skills — consistently securing optimal outcomes for our clients.

Global Reach, Local Expertise

As part of the Sotheby’s International Realty network, which achieved over €150 billion in annual global sales, we connect sellers in Greece directly to a worldwide audience of qualified buyers. Our marketing platforms, referral channels, and long-standing relationships in key international markets — from New York and London to Dubai and Hong Kong — enable us to present Greek properties with the same sophistication and reach as the world’s most prestigious destinations.

Looking Ahead

While broader market trends may be shifting, our focus remains on building long-term value. With total executed and pending transactions over the past five years expected to exceed €600 million by the end of 2025, we continue to set a strong pace for the sector. The coming months will see further growth in our team and portfolio, ensuring that our standards of careful selection, strategic pricing, and targeted international marketing remain at the forefront.

As we extend our reach into new national territories and consolidate our long-standing leadership in the Greek luxury brokerage market, we are shaping a new chapter defined by scale, influence, and elevated client experience. This next phase will see the enrolment of distinguished executives at the highest levels of management, alongside exceptional talents in key supporting roles — individuals whose expertise, ambition, and cultural fit will be integral to advancing our vision. This evolution calls for the insight, judgement, and strategic vision of leaders who understand the rarefied world in which we operate, and the drive of emerging professionals ready to excel within it.

Greece Sotheby’s International Realty remains committed to delivering results that serve not just our clients, but the advancement of Greece’s luxury property market as a whole.
