Client testimonials

Dear Roula,We are so grateful to you and your team, Andy, Anita and Maria, for making our dream come true.When we came to Corfu in May fantasizing, asking ourselves: "What if we find a perfect summer house on this stunning island? Why don't we check?", at that moment we did not even dream that in September we would spend an amazing vacation in our own house in a beautiful old village enjoying sunny days and starry nights with a glass of mellow corfiotwine. And yet, here we are - happy Corfu island property owners, and we know that the joy will grow over the years as will our family.Looking for and buying a house in Corfu was a great experience thanks to your support and professionalism. We know that we got the best service we could have possibly hoped for and THE perfect house for us.Our kindest regards,Tatiana and Raoul.

Hi Andy, Roula and all at Roula Rouva Real Estate,So, we are now house owners on Corfu for real! And we want to say a massive thank you to Andy Marshall.From the very start, we knew it was going to be OK as Andy really took the time and trouble to get to know us and what we were looking for. I’m sure we took up far too much of your time, over a few visits to the island, Andy, but it was worth it for us as ‘our’ house became the obvious choice from all the properties you took us round. We really appreciated that we were never pressured, always welcomed and encouraged and, when there were parts of the negotiation and buying process we wanted to do ‘our way’, you accommodated that too. It didn’t stop there, though.The really impressive part for those of us who have dealt with Estate Agents in England came after the sale was completed. We were back in England at the time and Andy kept in touch with us, made sure the house was secure and looked after the keys. There were even a few jobs which needed to be done and he arranged those on our behalf before we could return. A job well done!We won’t hesitate to recommend you to other people who are considering buying on Corfu.

You find yourself half an earth away from Corfu, the lawyer you signed with to represent you in your property deal is acting like so much of thin air, no approach had been done to banks for financing, it turns out that your application to the Ministry of Defence which will allow you to purchase property in Greece has disappeared – the list merely carries on and on …….Then you find a suitable property with RRCorfuRealEstate .. What now?Roula and her team takes over. They sort out all the requirements, find appropriate advisors, lawyers and financing for the purchase. They assist you by continuous communication, keeping you on top of developments every step of the way. They trace the lost permission to purchase application documents and ensure that it is submitted to the relevant authorities with all the attachments and comment, even assist in liaising with the lawyer who seemed to have evaporated. Appointments are made, contact is set up in your resident country with representatives of the bank that agreed to do the financing, all tax registration and legal and auditing representation in Greece is organised and then changed at the last minute when the personal approval from the Minister of Defence is obtained in the nick of time. The transaction has now changed from an off-shore investment to a personal purchase and all has been handled extremely professionally, helpfully and inclusively by Roula Rouva and her team.Yes, some three years passed in the meantime, but the deal has gone through successfully. RRCorfuRealEstate  has let the property, assisting not only ourselves as owners, but also the lessees on numerous smaller and larger issues concerning relocating and residing in a foreign country, property management issues and friendly, humane advice.Apart from the tenacity to see this prolonged transaction through, everything was dealt with in the most encouraging and substantially supporting manner. Not only did they assist in travelling and accommodation arrangements, they were the epitome of courtesy and hospitality – always meeting you on arrival, spending time to familiarise you with the island, its cuisine, customs and people and definitely selling the lifestyle you have now invested in!To Roula and her team, including her family and those people she associates with who also contributed and assisted in the process, our heartfelt appreciation! We would like to commend you and would certainly be very pleased to do further business with you in future.

We came to Corfu to look at a house we had heard of through family, it was unfortunately not for us and we were devastated. We were then advised by friends to phone Mr Andrew Marshal to see if he could help, at a days notice he collected us and arranged viewings of eight or so houses within our budget and whisked us round and was extremely polite, knowledgeable and so so helpful that within two days we had chose our new house arranged a solicitor sorted a tax number and bank account , the service we received I must say was some of the very best you could ever wish for Roula Rouva also helped with all advice and legalities and is a very pleasant and helpful lady to do business with, nothing was too much trouble to make the purchase of our property as easy and straightforward as possible. After buying the property Andrew Marshall still stayed in touch and went above and beyond the call of duty helping us in any way he could to advise and help us settle in. We would like to say a massive thank you to this firm and the people who work in it and are so glad we found you and your 5 star service!

Sehr geehrte Frau Rouva,Wir haben über Ihre Agentur durch Frau Zarra ein Haus in Perivoli / Korfu erworben. Da wir schon fast zwei Jahre auf der Suche nach einem passenden Haus gewesen sind, und auch so einige Rückschläge hinnehmen mussten, sind wir regelrecht begeistert über die sehr schnelle und ordentliche Arbeit Ihrer Agentur, und insbesondere von Frau Zarra!Sie war immer erreichbar, und hat in kürzester Zeit alle Fragen beantwortet. Selbst die Schlüsselübergabe abends am Flughafen war sehr lieb von ihr. Auch die Empfehlung des Anwalts Kolionasios war perfekt ! Er arbeitet sehr schnell und zuverlässig. Da haben wir schon ganz andere Erfahrungen machen müssen. Wir möchten uns auf diesem Wege für die sehr sehr gute Arbeit ganz herzlich bei Ihnen und Frau Zarra bedanken! Es ist einfach alles Perfekt gelaufen !Wir können , und werden Sie auf jeden Fall weiter Empfehlen !Denn mit uns haben Sie ein glückliches Hausbesitzerpaar mehr. Ihnen und den Mitarbeitern wünschen wir ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und alles Gute für 2017.Vielen Dank!Ganz liebe Grüße nach KorfuSilke und Christian Pape
