Our story

From a family business to a national real estate group

Founded in 2003 by Roula Rouva, our company began with a clear vision: to provide professional, personalised real estate services built on integrity, local expertise and long-term relationships.

With a background in tourism management and a strong entrepreneurial vision, Roula Rouva developed the business into a broader real estate group serving an increasingly international clientele.

Over the years, our activities have expanded beyond Corfu and the Ionian Islands to cover property opportunities throughout Greece. Today, we assist clients exploring a wide range of destinations, including Athens and the Athens Riviera, the Peloponnese, Crete, the Cyclades and other sought-after Greek locations.

Our portfolio spans a broad range of property types and price points, from homes requiring renovation and land with development potential to exceptional villas, waterfront residences and high-value investment opportunities.

We believe that every property decision deserves the same level of attention, regardless of location or budget. Our approach combines professional expertise with the personal care of a family-founded business.
