From the moment I met Ioanna, I knew in my heart that I was in safe and very capable hands. I had arrived in Paxos alone and on a mission – to find my dream home on Paxos – the heavenly island I had been visiting for many years. Naturally I was anxious about the paperwork involved and not being able to speak Greek !

I originally made contact with the Roula Rouva office in Lakka after I had seen some properties on their website. We arranged to meet in lovely Loggos and Ioanna drove me around. She knows the island like the back of her hand and everywhere we went she was greeted by friendly waves and greetings from the locals. We got on extremely well and her warmth and humour, together with her genuine interest were infectious. I could tell she truly cared and would help and guide me through the process.

She instinctively knew just what I was looking for and suggested she show me a property she had in mind the next day. The house took my breath away – it was perfect. Ioanna put in my offer and later that very day, she rang me with the great news. From that moment, she and the amazing team at Roula Rouva, carried me through the purchase process. With seemingly effortless efficiency, the legal work was underway and all the while the
transactions were translated into English with an interpreter on hand to reassure me.

At the beginning of February, Ioanna and I took the little ferry to Paxos to complete the contract with the vendors at the Notarys office in Gaios.

Purchasing a property abroad can be a daunting process, but not when you have Ioanna and Roula Rouva by your side all the way. We have become great friends and as you can imagine we are both longing to meet up again in Paxos. Any concerns I have regarding the property whilst I am here in England and the Corona Virus rages, are swifty dealt with by Ioanna, I know and trust that she will do her very best for me.

Thank you so much dear Ioanna and all the team from Roula Rouva
