We contacted Andy in December 2016 advising that we had booked 4 days in February 2017 to fly over to Corfu out of season to look at properties. Andy had already booked his holiday in January 2017, but was able, with just a week back at his desk, to pull together an itinerary of 14 viewings over the Saturday and Monday of our long weekend stay.This gave us a great insight into the types of properties available in North Corfu where we had wanted to concentrate our search, his knowledge of the area was great and he is obviously well known to the local Corfiot and ex pat population as we were continuously ‘beeped’ and waved to by passing cars and people as we travelled around.Andy did all of the driving which was really helpful as once off the main beach road it would be easy to become lost and the local code of driving is a little different to the UK!Our visit was really informative and Andy was able to explain details around expected costs for agents and solicitors fees and local taxes when purchasing a property.Within 3 days of returning we decided that there were two properties that we were very keen on and Andy facilitated the contact and negotiations, 5 weeks later we were the proud owners of a beautiful 3 bedroom house in Agios Martinos.Andy introduced us to a really great and helpful lawyer Georgia Koutsouri who is based in Corfu town and was very professional. We have an advantage over some Brits who are looking to buy a house abroad in that we had lived and worked on mainland Greece for 8 years during the 90’s and so have a reasonable understanding of the language, culture and how ‘things work’ in Greece and I can only say that the support we had through the process was very professional and helpful – not easy buying a property when you are 2,000 miles away in the UK and you need the right people you can trust representing you.Andy has also been very helpful since, in that we wanted to build a pool and he introduced us to Panagitis Bolovinos, a Civil Engineer and Spiros Koursaris a local builder, both of whom have been really helpful in obtaining the correct legal paperwork and permissions and worked started on the pool construction this May and should be completed by July.Tim & Melanie Heath, March 2018

We have recently bought a property in Kalami Corfu and I would just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all at Roula Rouva, especially Anna Moraiti. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, honest and friendly service. All of our questions were answered quickly, no matter what day or time they were sent. Even though the house has all gone through we know that if we have any questions we can still call on our friend Anna and Roula Rouva to help us. Corfu is a beautiful island, but we have found out that the most beautiful part of it is the people.Thank you for all your helpAndy & Rachel

Over the course of the last fifty-odd years we have had to use many different Real Estate Agentsbut only two have stood out as exceptional – one in Dorchester, U.K. and Roula Rouva as represented by their Paxos Office and the very talented Ioanna Aroni.From the very moment we had taken on Roula Rouva to sell our apartment in Paxos, Ioanna was there for us. Nothing was too much trouble for this exceptionally capable lady.Ioanna effortlessly handled all the requirements of the viewings (sometimes under rather adverse conditions), and when actual buyers appeared,she handled all the complex business of tax requirements, accountants, Notaries, engineers (surveyors), powers of attorney etc. for both us and for the purchasers. Nothing fazed her. The whole operation was really dynamic and painless. With true professionalism, the fact that she was also handling several other sales at the same time did not intrude at all.A more energetic, enthusiastic, discrete and cheerful person would be hard to find. Nothing was too much trouble, nothing was impossible. Communication was excellent at all times. It was a real pleasure to do business with Roula Rouva and Ioanna - and as a bonus, we have gained a real and genuine friend.Jenny and Derek DobbsNovember 2018

Hello, I wanted to send my thoughts on the purchase of my house.Firstly finding Vasso Zara whilst still in England, was the luckiest day for me. Vasso was always there listening to me. She treated me like royalty throughout the viewings and final purchase, going above and beyond, to show me this beautiful island and future home.Without fail Vasso has been available, even many months after I bought my place, to help with builders, supplies and saving my stressed child during a panic attack on his solo visit. You have an amazing lady in your company. The Estate agency made every moment of looking, buying and setting up of my property easy. They were all friendly, helpful and hard working individuals.I am looking forward to finally moving over to Corfu and enjoying the hard work we all put in on my beautiful house in Afra.Kindest RegardsJoanna Fraser

So our old dream came true! This year we became the lucky owners of a small piece of land on the shores of the Ionian Sea on the island of Corfu! From the plot an unforgettable landscape of azure sea, framed by two capes, covered with greenery and olive trees, opens. Near the horizon, as if propping up the region, the Alban Mountains rise, from which every morning the rising sun bursts out, giving us its warmth and light.Seven years ago, we first visited Corfu and since then have not thought about spending your vacation anywhere else. And every our holiday in Corfu was accompanied by a search for a plot on which we could say - we are at home. But everything somehow did not develop until our friends advised us to contact the real estate agency Roula Rouva Real Estate.Here we met Natalia Tsiro Rouva, who was very enthusiastic about looking for a plot according to our ideas. In a short time such a site was found and nothing else we have not considered. Natalia with great professionalism accompanied our deal to the finish, taking into account every nuance, answering every our question, dispelling any doubts.Thank you to all the staff of the agency Roula Rouva Real Estate, who took part in our deal. Well, of course, special thanks to Natalia.With pleasure we will recommend you further!Yours faithfullyOlga and Andreas Leader

Our experience of working with Roula Rouva has been entirely positive and rewarding. We contacted Natalia from the agency and were given excellent customer service from day one. Natalia explained the process for buying abroad and narrowed the number of properties to view down so we were able to fly to Corfu and visit each of them. We were at all times looked after and nothing was too much trouble. When we decided on a property we were then given complete back up to find a solicitor and notary who dealt with the purchase and legal matters and we gave power of attorney so that we did not have to deal with a lot of the paperwork ourselves.Once the purchase was complete we were then put in touch with a Building Company without any obligation and again supported throughout the process of obtaining quotes and selecting tiles fittings etc as well as deciding on other design features. At all times we felt that we were in the hands of professionals and had complete confidence in the process despite our lack of Greek vocabulary. I would fully recommend Roula Rouva to anyone considering buying a property on this beautiful Island.Thank you NataliaLinda and Keith Brewer

You can only imagine how scary it must be to buy a house on a Greek Island when you live in New Zealand. The only way for this to be stress free and easy is to work with someone that you trust in every way to look after you.That person in the Ionian Islands of Corfu and Paxos is Ioanna Aroni from Roula Rouva Real Estate Agency.Ioanna is honest and trustworthy but also knowledgeable fun to work with. I know that she will be around our table with friends and food under the Olive trees in our new home for years to come.Thank you Ioanna.Dr Richard and Vanessa OwenBay of IslandsNew Zealand

We could not have moved to Corfu without the help and support of our lovely real estate agent, Natalia Rouva, from Roula Rouva Real Estate, who has not only been a conductor to our new life, but also now she is our very close family friend!For a long time we dreamed of moving to Corfu island but we actually took the decision to start our communication and cooperation with Roula Rouva real estate agency a year ago, during the quarantine period 2020, when we were looking for a plot in Corfu to build a house but at that time but the whole world was closed due to quarantine.When we contacted Roula Rouva Real Estate, Natalia Tsiro Rouva was appointed as our agent and she has been amazing in finding a great option for us, even better than we expected. She took into account all our wishes: she suggested an ideal area of the island for us, where we have privacy, silence and beautiful nature. Thanks to her, we were able to meet our budget and even saved a bit!Then we made an online transaction — everything was very smooth and easy. It is very important to have professionals who you can trust right next to you to advise you on every step of the transaction . The entire transaction was completed online.Since we just wanted to move as soon as possible, we decided to use the program “Golden Visa”, for this it was necessary to invest in real estate in a total amount of 250 000 euro.Therefore, Natalia found for us a great option for a villa, not far from our plot, so we could reach the total amount that would grant us the Golden Visa, and finally we could apply for a residence permit very soon. The second deal was even easier and also online.The next step was a visit to Greece to get a temporary residence permit, Roula Rouva real estate agency made this an easy and stress free procedure as the documents were submitted by the company and we received our certificates.Now we are here!Natalia met us at the airport on Easter Day and showed us all our properties and she also prepared the villa for our arrival. When we saw it, everything was much better even than on the video call!Therefore, now we are equipping our new home and already welcoming our new russian, greek and english friends.The construction of our dream house on our plot has already been organized by Roula Rouva Real Estate, so we are calm for the deadline and for the quality!We were accepted as a family! Helped to get used to Corfu life! For this we are grateful with all our Soul! Now Corfu is our home!Our experience has shown that we made the right choice.Thank you so much!!!
