MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER

When we founded Ktimatoemporiki Crete in 1994, our mission was to deliver exceptional homes and workplaces at a great value for money.

During all these years, your response has been amazing. Your feedback enlightening. Just like the very first day we went into business, our success stems from you. Our expertise is taking into account your wants and preferences, and offering you the perfect housing solution.

Our fanatical devotion to high quality standards and customization to your needs has paid off tremendously, year after year. Not just in financial terms, but in human terms, also. It may seem old-fashioned, but our BIG reward is still your satisfaction.

In recent years, we are all witnesses to an “upgrade” of our living and working environment. It is no more a product, but a whole experience. A living and working experience. After all, our house or business environment is actually the stage of our life. Our job, here in Ktimatoemporiki, is to make sure that this stage is a natural fit to you, the protagonist of your life.

Finally, the most important thing I want to say is a big THANK YOU. Thank you for your keen preference and your support all these years. Being the leader in the real estate market in Crete, and one of the biggest real estate agencies in Greece, we have a secret ingredient to our thriving business: Your trust.

KTIMATOEMPORIKI ADVANTAGES

When you select Ktimatoemporiki as your trusted partner in your property searching adventure, you enjoy each and every one of our unparalleled advantages:

14 years experience in international real estate

Most international real estate agencies in Greece have started operating in the last 4 to 5 years, when it was evident that the international real estate market in Greece is set to boom. But, as every market in the world, it has its ups and downs. And every reputable company has to think long-term, in order to protect its clients¢ interests.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with most of the agencies - local and international - operating in Greece. Many of them charge excessive commissions. Others have unexpectedly gone bankrupt due to bad cash flow and wrong strategies. All this malpractice is a real burden for the interested buyer - resident or investor.

Well, not us! We have been here for a while. We have been established, first and foremost due to our clients¢ satisfaction. We have become the leaders in the Crete real estate market. And we will certainly be here tomorrow.

Absolute expertise in the Crete real estate market

Ktimatoemporiki has property deals in every corner of Greece. However, our core expertise is Crete Island. Being at the forefront of the growth of the Greek travel sector, and offering services and a quality of life very hard to find in smaller Greek Islands, Crete is THE place to live in, if you are a sun-lover and want a lifestyle tailored to your true needs.
