We’ve travelled a lot as a family but we kept coming back to Corfu.We love the island - its welcoming people, its beautiful scenery and its greenness, its special bays, its gorgeous villages and its food. Getting around is easy - nowhere’s very far from anywhere else and  the public transport’s reliable and inexpensive.A few years ago, we decided we wanted to spend as much time as we could there and started to look for possibilities. For us, Roula Rouva was the go-to real estate agency - the island’s biggest, in fact, with a portfolio to suit all ambitions and pockets.We browsed long & hard online (everything’s easy to access, with lots of information about what’s currently on offer, as well as that all-important information about Corfu itself).With the UK sadly leaving the EU, we needed to find somewhere fairly quickly and Roula Tziliou, Natalia Tsiro Rouva & the team stepped up to the task with the friendliness visitors to Kerkyra are used to finding wherever they go. We’re in the early stages of learning Greek, but everyone’s English is excellent.The range of possibilities matches all budgets - from renovation projects to superb villas, only your imagination sets the boundaries.The team worked with us to find the best option, fitting in with our schedule, pointing out the good points but also helping us see any potential pitfalls. We quickly learnt that we didn’t have to be two minutes from the sea or even to have a sea view to find the property that would suit us down to the ground. For us, it was Poulades, a few minutes drive from Corfu Town, set in the hills, green with abundant olive groves, with shops, restaurants & beaches minutes away. There’s everything from exquisite stone & tile merchants to wine retailers, bakeries, butchers, fruit & vegetables & garage services.Once we had chosen our dream house the purchase procedure went very smoothly and quickly for us. We were kept up to date with all developments throughout the conveyancing process and we were told the relationship with Roula Rouva is for life. They are there to help with anything we may need such as gardeners, builder, electrician etc.At Roula Rouva, you get the whole package - from building services to their in-house legal department - big thanks to Georgia & Vikki for getting the paperwork done, handling our residency applications & setting up our banking, electricity & water services & community charges.The company’s professional to a tee. They found us just what we’d been looking for and we’ve found some great new best friends.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Roula Rouva Real Estate team…
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Roula Rouva Real Estate team for their help in purchasing a house on the wonderful island of Corfu.  Finding the right home can be a difficult process and a real estate agent can provide all the resources needed to make the home buying process simpler, from specific neighborhood information to tools to estimate payments that will help through the home buying process.We often ask ourselves the question “How? How did we manage to find such a house so quickly? And exactly where we wanted it to be?''Because we understand that the path to homeownership is typically a multi-year process and a determined search for the perfect home that fits our needs and budget. Only after rounds of negotiations, inspections and paperwork, do you finally get handed the keys to the front door.  But hopefully, we didn't have to go through all this process alone. All we did ourselves was just choosing the location on the map!!! The rest of the work, all the troubles and worries starting from finding the right location, the price negotiations, and paperwork was handled by the ROULA ROUVA Real Estate team.Roula Rouva Real Estate Team showed us endless hospitality, cordiality, and a sincere desire to help us find the right home, to help us turn our dream into reality, and their advice and support through closing were invaluable.Dear Natalia, Anna, Georgia, Angelica, you are a team of professionals who know no barriers, no limits, no fatigue.In your hearts, there is boundless love for the sunny island of Corfu, for people and for your work, and you selflessly shared it with us.It is thanks to you that we are on the threshold of a new page in our life, new discoveries, acquaintances, adventures, and of course - ON THE THRESHOLD OF OUR NEW WONDERFUL HOUSE ON THE ISLAND OF CORFU.Thank you very much!

We are grateful to everyone at Roula Rouva Real Estate Agency for their professionalism and knowledge.We contacted Roula Rouva Real Estate Agency after the decision was made to retire to Corfu in the coming years so after a trawl through of available properties on their website we met up with them for a more in depth discussion and a visit to some of the properties on the market.We found the people and the company to be very knowledgeable and understanding of our requirements and preferred location and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. It became obvious that our initial thoughts of purchasing wasn’t matching up with our requirements being the fussy people that we are so Roula Rouva showed us dozens of pieces of building land and helped us fine tune our location to our budget and size of plot needed.We fell in love with one of these plots and are now part way through our build process.We are grateful to everyone at Roula Rouva Real Estate Agecny for their professionalism and knowledge.

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 thetransactions 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

During the summer of 2019, when we were in Corfu for our annual vacation, we made the decision of buying a property on this beautiful island. We have been spending our summer family vacations in Corfu for the past several years and thought it would be wise investment.I sent an email to the offices of Roula-Rouva in Corfu and was contacted by their office in a matter of few hours, offering an appointment at their offices. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and very welcoming manner by the receptionist and were immediately directed to the office of Ms. Anna Moraiti. After a meeting with her, explaining what we are looking for, and our budget for the purchase, we were provided with the most accurate, detailed and helpful information regarding the process of foreigners buying a property in Corfu.The very next day, I was in her car, visiting several properties that all fit my desired description. Rewinding to our initial meeting with Anna, she told us that usually her clients buy the first property she takes them to see. Of course you’d imagine our skepticism toward that claim. Well, sure enough, we ended up purchasing the first property she took us to see.From that day and the very first introduction visit until today, she has been truthful, helpful, friendly and most importantly, always available. She has been offering her help and expertise not only for the property, but for everything else you may possibly imagine.As anyone would agree and understand, buying a property in another country, thousands of miles, a big ocean and a continent away from where we reside can be very foreign and full of anxiety. There are millions of questions and no shortage of worries. She answered all, resolved all and delivered solid results for everything.We never felt alone or helpless throughout the process. To this date, she calls and contacts us, offering her services and unconditional help, before we even ask. Both my wife and I trust her thousands of miles away with our interest. What she says is like a bible and we have learned to trust her recommendations without even questioning or second guessing it.To anyone out there who is thinking about buying a property, I hope you are first lucky enough to work with Roula-Rouva, and second, lucky enough to have an agent like Anna Moraiti.

We have bought and sold many houses over the years and had mixed experiences with estate agents.When we decided to buy a project in Corfu, we approached a few estate agents and had a highly professional response from Roula Tziliou.From our first contact with Roula, she took time to ask questions and assess our requirements. She then spent time working with us in search of our perfect property and negotiated on our behalf.She then set us up with a good lawyer before we headed back to the UK. Once we decided on the ideal property for us Roula helped us through the often daunting legal and practical process. She responded to all enquiries with punctuality even after the purchase was completed.We now count Roula as a friend and would not hesitate to recommend her to you.Jackie and Richard Wise

We had planned this trip to Corfu, with the intent to find a plot so we could build our home.When we arrived, we encountered some difficulties and were not successful. Since this trip was essential for our future and we only had a few days to scout the area, we started looking for other real estate companies that could help us in a short notice. We were so lucky to find Roula Tziliou from Roula Rouva Real Estate, because despite having such a short notice and limited information we provided in a rush, she was able to put together a list of potential plots to visit the following day.Roula was exceptional and professional. She made us feel so welcome and at peace with the process. She was like a friend who was showing us around and understood our needs.Roula went the extra mile and really made us feel like family. Besides showing us the properties, she took the time to show us around town, explained many things about local life in Corfu, and we had a chance to get useful insight of what our future life would be in this beautiful island.Once we found the plot, we thought was the one, Roula took us back to see the property so we could be 100% sure and spend many hours answering questions, introducing us to key people who would eventually be involved in the buying process, construction process, and more.After we returned to our country, Roula handled the negotiation process. She was always looking after both parties’ interest and she helped us arrive to a win-win result.We have stayed in touch with Roula and she continues to care and be helpful in any way possible.We can say in all honesty we made the right decision to work with Roula and her wonderful Staff!!G.

We found Roula Rouva Real Estate on the web by coincidence.When we started to email about some houses we were interested in, we got very fast and precise responses. Later, when we arrived on Paxos, we met Ioanna Aroni, who was always on time, with a smile on her face. We liked her positive state of mind, her responsiveness and her professionalism. As a native she knows every corner on the island, and seems to know everybody. So we were very happy having her as our agent.The process of the negotiations was accompanied by her and the lawyer she recommended to us, in a smooth and a gentle way. So we highly recommend Ioanna Aroni and the Agency Roula Rouva Real Estate.Louisa and Arthur Galett from Switzerland
