How is property sold in Greece
In Greece a seller can advertise their property for sale themselves as For Sale By Owner (FSBO) with an advert in the newspapers, on the internet, with a sign and contact number painted on the side of their property or by good old word of mouth. Alternatively they can ask their lawyer to represent them or they can use a real estate agent to give them as wider window as possible. They cover the advertising costs themselves or if a lawyer or real estate agent represents them, they will pay a fee. The fee whether to lawyer or agent is normally a percentage based on the selling price. It is common practice in Greece for an agent to charge both the seller and the buyer approximately 2% of the selling value although this is negotiable either way.
