Client testimonials

At short notice we were met at the property by Andrew (Andy) after seeing internet particulars and driving past. We were particularly pleased at his rapid response as it was our last day in Corfu. He gave us an honest view of the property market history and the state of the property enabling us to return to England with a good understanding of what the property would be worth and work needed.On our next visit we met Andy and he gave us a good run through of the challenges and steps in order to buy a property in the current market identifying which professionals would be needed and he gave us a number of different names of Lawyers and Accountants, surveyors that we would need in order to purchase. Staff at Roula Rouva provided further advice and Andy always was able to rapidly get answers to enable due diligence to be undertaken, which was particularly appreciated as we were in England.The legal complications of buying the property were many and throughout the period in which negotiations were taking place, Andy kept us up to speed with the Vendors issues and gave his wholehearted attention to getting an equitable agreement to proceed. There were many hurdles to get though and at all times Andy gave consideration to our frustrations and issues arising by interfacing with the Vendors legal team to get to contractual completion.Andy has a wide network of contacts which proved extremely useful in allowing us to compare professional building suppliers and also enable us to rapidly find the right person for the job.In summary we feel Andy Marshall is a tremendous asset to Roula Rouva and any potential buyer will be well served by his friendly professional approach and we have no hesitation in recommending his services and hard work in helping buyers get through the challenging issues that arise in purchasing property in Corfu.Chris and Sue BramwellFebruary 2017

We would like this opportunity in thanking your company for the service you have given us in purchasing a property in St George south.VASSO ZARRA the agent we were dealing with is an exceptional member of your staff. We have never known someone who has gone out of their way to the extent she has in finding the perfect property for us. She has always been polite, very cheerful and a joy to meet no .matter what. She has gone beyond in her duties more than we had ever expected with late nights and more but always with a smile. All the details from looking to the finalising of our purchase she has been there every step of the way, keeping us informed of all details while purchasing and the sellers thoughts without having to chase for information at any point.Compared to the UK's real estate companies and their staff your company is far beyond in professionalism and quality of service. As agent's go Vasso Zarra puts them all to shame as nobody in the UK could match her skill and hard work in the profession with such grace and kindness and hard work.I can only recommend to anyone thinking of buying a property in Corfu your company and especially VASSO ZARRA to deal with in obtaining a trouble free house purchase as I know she would keep up the hard work and reputation she provides for your agency.Most of all though is that through your company we have met and gained a most adored friend which we could never thank you enough for... and our dream of living on this beautiful Island now we call home...Thank you for everything!Jon & Kathie

It is slightly more than 10 years that we have interacted with Roula Rouva on property matters. Throughout we have received professional service combined with enthusiasm, a solution orientated approach and definitely some extremely innovative methods of assistance. Three properties later, I can entertain you on several anecdotes relating to the purchase of each one.We are from South Africa, therefore needed special screening and permission from the Minister of Defence in Greece before we were allowed to buy property in this country. This exercise was carried through by Roula Rouva over three years - the full gamut: files going missing, the lawyer giving up, even going to Athens and tracing the file in the Ministry! She also came up with many other solutions for the bond we wanted, all included in the Agency's service.Still some quick adjustments were required with legal changes just days before actual transfer and notary recording. Roula assisted again and personal tax registration was effected. After four years of hurdles we bought our selected property. Which, efficient as always, she managed to rent out on a long term contract.Since a beautiful plot with a great view became ours, off course through the rrcorfurealestate agency, where we dream of building a small retreat to recharge human batteries. This remains a bridge to 'dubbelcross' , one needs to have a challenge to work on!Most ingenious of all, we bought a fixer-upper via the Roula route. Knowing and trusting her, we did not view the property but took her assessment, recommendation and home video as base to do the purchase. She did everything after our 'Yes' - arranged with the lawyer, selected a contractor to do the work, etc., etc. This property is now registered to us and we are waiting to occupy as soon as the water connection is established and our furniture arrives from South Africa. It is conveniently located to meet our needs and fit our circumstances. We feel well taken care of, knowing that we can count on the agency's support and assistance should any unforeseen development occur. There is no doubt in our minds that the recent award won, European Property Awards, is truly deserved and trust that similar recognition on a macro level will be forthcoming. The sky is the limit!Piet & Mariétte EbersöhnMay, 2017

My wife Karen and I met Andy last June having selected a number of properties to view from Roula Rouva website.He recommended that we view an additional property which he thought would meet our requirements . He was absolutely right ! Andy assisted us in the process of negotiating the price. We entered into an agreement that month to buy and completed the purchase in September.It is always stressful buying a house. As neither Karen or I speak Greek it would have been a daunting experience without the considerable help Andy provide during this period.He advised us exactly what documents etc we would need and introduced us to our fantastic lawyer Georgia.Andy has always been available 24/7 to assist with each and every query we have had and Georgia and he made the purchase process very easy and stress free.That support didn’t stop when we completed the purchase. He has continued to help us in so many different ways , such as dealing with utilities , sorting out a new phone line , introducing a local builder to install a new patio and supervise that work, arrange for the installation of security lights , assist us transporting household effects from the uk, and keep an eye on the house over the winter. Karen and I don’t think we could have managed without his assistance and it is a great comfort to know that he is always on the end of a telephone line and happy to assist us with any matter relating to the house , however big or small.Thank you,Richard & Karen Cornthwaite

We started our search for a property on Corfu in the summer of 2016. We rang Andy whilst holidaying, he arranged some viewings the very next day and again for several days and evenings taking us all over north of the island. Listening to our requirements and opinions. We kept in contact, then in the spring of 2017 a property came up that meet all our needs.Andy negotiated the sale, saw it through by liaising with our Greek lawyer and even checking on the property after purchase, until we were able to return to Corfu. His colleague Thanos is also very helpful promptly responding to our e-mails and questions. Together Andy and Thanos make a great team, one we would highly recommend for your property search on Corfu.Best wishesAndrew & Janet Davies

Having set my sights on buying real estate in the lovely island of Corfu some years ago, and after a couple of hit-and-miss opportunities, I got acquainted with Roula Rouva, and was able to close a deal within weeks after our first point of contact.The team has proven to be professional, solution-oriented and courteous throughout, making the purchase process a walk in the park, which was most welcome considering I live and work in a different part of the world.It has been a pleasure working with Roula Rouva and I can warmly recommend the team to any aspiring Greek property investors.Many thanks,Lennart

Taken by Corfu passion we planned to live half of the year in this wonderful place.The purchase of a house that seemed impossible was possible thanks to Roula Rouva Real Estate Agency which without a doubt is the company adapted for foreigners in search of a small corner of happiness.The representative of the North, Mr. Andy Marshall, was for us a guide from the beginning of the procedure to the end, the official contract. His presence at our side was very precious, not only during the visits but also in the administrative procedures, and the search for companies to do the necessary work.His availability allowed us to follow the work at a distance and finally to discover a house in accordance with our wishes. Andy Marshall has become a friend and his presence after the end of his mission is always precious.Congratulations to Roula Rouva Real Estate Agency for everything and to have among its collaborators quality agents like Andy Marshall.René Gimeno

Although we had special requirements with our search for a house for 2 persons with 2 apartments on the right, Andy could present us directly a suitable object. The support throughout the entire purchase process was outstanding.Andy had all the people we needed ready for us. The lawyer also looked after us very well through the purchase process and we felt safe.Even the after-sales service leaves nothing to be desired. The lawyer takes care of all necessary things like electricity, a tax consultant was arranged for us. Andy is always available when we need anything, like a craftsman or a gardener.We would buy a house in Corfu with Roula Rouva and Andy at any time.With regards,Nicolas Schraml

During our second visit to Corfu, we decided to buy a family vacation home in Corfu. Corfu is a rather large island and we had been only two locations at north east, and we desperately needed a good advice from competent real estate agents. It was our luck to come across Roula Tziliou and Vasso Zarra. They knew which properties would suit our wishes and budget better than ourselves. We first did nott even consider their suggestions very seriously, but we felt in love with our vacation home at once. The entire purchase process was very quick (as necessary since we had to go back home the next day) and also water tight with a very reliable jurist, with whom an appointment could be made in the evening at the same day.Roula and Vasso, thank you very much for your help with our second home in Corfu. We are really looking forward to going back this summer and having amazing summer in our home in Corfu!Thank you, Roula ;-)!JooYeon
