Testimonials
“What do you need to buy a house in Corfu? Of course some money and a lot of time. The time for searching, the time for transaction and then, the time to make out of the object you have bought the object you will live in and be happy. You can try to do it without help from professionals and locals but in this case you will need much more money and much more time or for the same money you will achieve less.
This is the reason one should cooperate with local professionals. Anne and Lefteris are an ideal team for the issue: native English speaker and a Corfu born entrepreneur who have best contacts to the people and institutions you will definitely need to complete all formalities and all jobs in and at the house.
Every agent will ask you for a deposit in order to secure the transaction. It is not a pleasant feeling to give your money away, if it comes back without any problems at the end of the transaction, you know, it was a good deal. Any time again! Thank you Anne, thank you Lefteris!”
“This is the second occasion in the last year and a half where we have used the highly efficient services offered by Corfu estate agents.
With Anne’s management, the sale of our much-loved villa went through seamlessly and the whole process was entirely stress-free.
We would not hesitate to recommend Corfu estate agents to others looking to buy or sell property on the island”
“This is a somewhat belated ‘Thank You’ for successfully selling my house in Viglatsouri.
I had been with other Corfu agents for some time who had failed to produce any likely buyers.
Your company produced a selection of potential buyers all of whom would be likely to purchase the property and indeed resulted in a successful sale.
I have always been impressed with the professionalism of CEA and the excellent level of communication.
I would warmly recommend yourself to any prospective buyer/seller on Corfu.”
“We must have seen a hundred houses most on separate days in north Corfu with different agents, we asked Anne at Corfu estate agents to show us a house we had seen on their site, which she did but said there were a few more nearby you may like, we thought that was great to look at more than one house at a time. We finally found a property then the Covid pandemic happened solicitors and tax offices were closed. Anne and Leftheris kept us updated throughout the buying process and answered all our queries, even when they were on holiday.
We have finally completed now the work begins
Thank you very much.”
“We have found and bought our dream-house this summer with Corfu Estate Agents.
All the way through the sometimes complicated process of buying property in Greece we are very happy to have done so with the help from Anne and Corfu Estate Agents. Anne has guided us through the process in a very professional manner and really gained our trust from the very beginning. We have been able to look at the house several times, sometimes on short notice. We have received answers to all our questions swift and accurate. We have received help in getting contacts on the island that have helped us very much to move forward in the purchase process but also on other issues with regards to our new property.
All in all we really would like to recommend Corfu Estate Agents when buying property in Corfu.”
“My wife and I recently purchased a delightful Villa on the North East coast of Corfu Island.
Despite limitations currently in place for the Covid 19 virus, property viewing, negotiations with the sellers and tying up of the final deal were all handled effortlessly and professionally by ‘ Corfu Estate Agents ‘.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them most strongly to anyone looking to purchase property on Corfu.”
“I cannot recommend this estate agency enough. Nothing was too much trouble for Anne & Leftheris which gave me great peace of mind as l live in another country so communication was key. When any problems arose, they went above and beyond dealing with it for me quickly and efficiently I cannot thank them enough for dealing with this sale for me.
They kept me informed and up dated at every step of the way so that I could deal with what I needed to do in the UK to make the sale as smooth running as possible. I have doubts that I would have ever sold my property if I had not been with Corfu Estate Agents.
Thank you once more for all your help.”
“Dear Anne and Lefteris,
We would like to thank you for your fantastic service throughout our puchasing process.
From the first phone call to view the property until completion of contract you have been great. Anything we asked for you went out of your way to accomodate.
From getting the original drawings of the shell and arranging for the Topographical Engineer to come and show us all the marks for the boundry you gave us the best service.
We would be happy to refer you to anyone who would like to purchase a property through you now or in the future.
Thanking you.”
“What can I say, working with Anne and Lefteri was a joy.
I bought a plot of land from them 10 years ago not without a bit of jiggers pockery, moving public foot paths etc, but they took care of everything! I had no problems at all.
This year I sold the property, and they pulled out all the stops and went more than the extra mile to ensure the sale went through as quickly as possible.
I have worked in the property, and building industry for over 30 years, and I could not fault what they do and would highly recommend Corfu estate agents to any one wishing to purchase or sell land or property. If you are serious about investing in corfu, and you need to talk to me personally I am happy for them to give you my phone number.”
“Just a note to thank you both very much for sticking with us and selling our property successfully.
We have appreciated your prompt replies to queries we have had and efficient way you have handled the sale, despite bureaucracy moving slowly in Corfu; we would never have been able to find our way through it without your help. We would strongly recommend you to anyone wishing to buy or sell property in Corfu.
Many thanks again and please give our telephone number to anyone who would like to speak to a previous customer.”
“I was lucky to have Corfu Estate Agents working to find me a house in NE Corfu. Lefteris and Anne took the time to show me a range of properties to establish exactly what I needed then found a house that was me. Anne was always prompt in replying to my emails which was appreciated as I live in New Zealand but didn’t feel distant from the process. I recommend Corfu Estate Agents.”
“We initially bought a renovation project through Corfu Estate Agents back in 2007. Lefteris and Anne’s local knowledge, expertise and warm personalities were instrumental in helping us take that leap!
Over the course of several years we renovated the house, thoroughly enjoying the process and all the time keeping in contact with the office who helped us with the purchase of additional land surrounding the property.
In 2018 we decided to quietly market the property and sure enough the office was able to find an excellent buyer. The negotiations and legal aspects of the sale were handled very smoothly and completed with far less drama than any house sale we’ve been involved with back in the UK!
In summary, we’ve had nothing but positive experiences in dealing with Lefteris and Anne and to this day count them among our good friends in Corfu. Roll on the next project!!”
“We have known Anne and Lefteris Tsoukalas, for almost 15 years, since they sold us our first property on Corfu in the lovely village of Kentroma on the north east coast of the Island.
This purchase was achieved very quickly (as we have since realized!) in less than 2 months and although originally we were looking at a different property, Lefteris, with an excellent knowledge of village affairs, then showed us a property which he believed would be coming on the market, and which we subsequently bought.
A few years later, with their help, we then bought the property next door with little difficulty, also as a renovation project. We then sold it 6 months later, again through Corfu Estate Agents, to a Russian family.
Finally, with their help, we purchased a Villa in the north of the Island 5 years ago and now, in 2018 ,we have put that on the market with Corfu Estate Agents.
We are more than happy to recommend this Estate Agency to prospective buyers and sellers of property in the north and north east of the Island, where this excellent team of a local Corfiot born man, though much travelled, and his Australian wife, have gained considerable expertise and knowledge over many years both in the construction and sale of properties.”
“Deciding to relocate from the UK to Greece with our family was not only a big decision but a huge step to take. Thanks to the professionalism, support and trust that grew as a result of buying our property through Anne and Lefteris, we were able to turn a potentially stressful process into one of the most enjoyable experiences of our life. Anne and Lefteris provide a candid and transparent approach to the buying and selling process, everything from land, build to solicitors. We cannot recommend their services too highly.”
“We purchased our house about 15 years ago through the newly established Corfu Estate Agents. We received excellent advice and service from these people and received a very friendly service too. The purchase went very smoothly and we were guided through it by Lefteris and his wife Anne who we have remained friends with ever since.
Having decided after 15 years that the time had come for us to sell our lovely Corfu house I spoke with Anne again and at the end of last year our house was sold, again through Corfu Estate Agents. The sale went through very smoothly with the agents and again we were helped and received advice when we needed it.
Having spent half of the last 15 years in Corfu we were a little more aware of the procedures but in order to make sure all went smoothly we used the agents again and would highly recommend them. We would not advise trying to purchase or sell a property in Corfu without an agent.”
