Comprehensive Real Estate Representation
At Hahalis & Kounoupis, P.C. - Greek Law Group, we handle all real estate matters for Greek Americans nationwide. Whether you inherited real estate in Greece and you are trying to determine what to do with it, you are interested in listing with realtors, buying or selling Greek real estate or you have any other real estate-related issue, our lawyers can help you, just as we have helped thousands of Greek Americans before you with similar matters. We are experienced in construction agreements, zoning and development and all related Greek land and real estate issues.
Worried about the cost of travel to and from Greece? You do not need to be. Our lawyers are able to handle the vast majority of real estate-related issues on your behalf because we are licensed to practice in Greece and the United States, and we have a presence in both countries. You may not ever be required to leave the comfort of your own home.
Buying and Selling Greek Real Estate Property
Our knowledge of Greek property rights and real estate laws allows us to handle all aspects of real estate purchases and sales, including:
- All necessary title work
- Application permits if the property is a Greek border area
- Drafting and executing the deed
- Registration with the relevant Greece land registries
- All related real estate taxes and tax law matters
- Export of funds from sale and all relevant tax filings in both countries
We provide seamless, start-to-finish representation, meaning we will handle every aspect of the purchase or sale of real estate, leaving no messes for you to clean up. If buying real estate in Greece, you must be particularly careful since Greece does not utilize title insurance. Therefore, you are always dependent upon the Greek attorney’s title search. Since we were title insurance agents in the United States for over 20 years, we are familiar with such issues and we pride ourselves on complete and thorough title searches in Greece.
Making the Most of Your Greek Real Estate Property
After the purchase or inheritance of real estate in Greece, we have the experience necessary to help you make the most of the acquisition. If you would like to rent the property, we can create lease agreements and negotiate with tenants. We can set up rent payments so that you receive them wherever you may be in the U.S., also handling all related rental income tax issues. If a landlord-tenant dispute arises, we can resolve it, handling evictions if needed and/or collecting rents, adjusting leases and property management.
The real estate may need to be developed, and our lawyers can assist with that as well. We handle all relevant clearances and permits, and can secure contractors and negotiate agreements with them to build or renovate the property to meet your needs.
