Buying property in a foreign country is one of the most significant decisions a person can make. In a market like Corfu, where properties range from centuries-old stone houses to brand-new coastal apartments, where legal due diligence matters enormously, and where the difference between a good purchase and a poor one often comes down to local knowledge, choosing the right agent is not a minor detail. It is the foundation of the entire process.
Chase Real Estate Corfu was built around a straightforward principle: give buyers honest, accurate, and locally informed guidance, and match them with properties that genuinely suit their goals. This article explains what that means in practice and why it matters for international buyers approaching the Corfu market.
A Portfolio Built Around the Real Corfu Market
The Chase Real Estate Corfu portfolio reflects the genuine diversity of property available on the island. It includes traditional stone maisonettes in quiet inland villages, buildable plots with sea views and approved building permits, renovated apartments in Corfu Old Town and coastal locations, detached houses on large plots in residential areas, and new development projects with modern specification.
This breadth is deliberate. Buyers come to Corfu with different budgets, different timelines, and different visions for how they want to use a property. Some are looking for a renovation project they can personalise over time. Others want a ready-to-use holiday home within walking distance of the beach. Others are focused purely on investment return. A portfolio that covers the full market means buyers are matched with what is right for them, rather than being directed toward whatever happens to be available.
Verified Listings and Accurate Information
Every property listed by Chase Real Estate Corfu is personally assessed before it goes to market. This means visiting the property, confirming the basic facts, checking the legal status with the relevant documentation, and presenting the listing with accurate information rather than aspirational descriptions.
This approach has a direct benefit for buyers. The time spent searching is more productive because the listings reflect reality. There are no surprises on viewing, no discrepancies between the advertised specification and the actual property, and no ambiguity about legal status or documentation.
Local Knowledge Across the Whole Island
Corfu is not a small island. It stretches 60 kilometres from north to south and covers a diverse range of landscapes, communities, and property micro-markets. A coastal village in the northeast operates very differently from an inland village in the south. Understanding those differences, knowing what a fair price looks like in each location, and being able to advise buyers on the practical realities of living in or investing in a specific area requires genuine on-the-ground experience.
Chase Real Estate Corfu operates across the entire island, from the northeast coast and Corfu Town to the west coast villages and the south. This full-island coverage means buyers are not limited to a specific area and can make informed comparisons across different locations.
Guidance Through the Greek Buying Process
For international buyers, the Greek property purchase process involves a number of steps that are unfamiliar and can seem complex from the outside. Tax registration numbers, notarial contracts, legal due diligence, building permit verification, and transfer tax calculations all need to be understood and managed correctly.
Chase Real Estate Corfu guides buyers through each stage, works alongside trusted local lawyers and notaries, and ensures that the process is transparent from start to finish. The goal is not simply to sell a property but to ensure that the buyer completes a purchase they are confident in and satisfied with.
Golden Visa Eligibility
For non-EU buyers, a number of properties in the Chase Real Estate Corfu portfolio qualify for Greece’s Golden Visa programme, which provides a five-year renewable residency permit for qualifying property investments. This is an increasingly important consideration for buyers from outside the European Union, and Chase Real Estate Corfu can advise on which listings meet the current eligibility thresholds.
