Licensed Real Estate & Civil Engineering on Samos Island Since 2008
Samos Housing is a family-run real estate and construction firm based in Samos Town, founded in 2008 by Civil Engineers Ioannis (Giannis) Paleokastritis and Christos Paleokastritis. We help local owners and overseas buyers find, build, renovate, and legally protect property on Samos — from a first plot of land to a finished, registered villa.
Over fifteen years and hundreds of completed transactions, we have become the team that overseas buyers and Greek inheritors turn to when the project has to be done properly: licensed engineers, transparent paperwork, bilingual communication, and a single accountable point of contact from the first conversation to key handover.
Our Story
Samos Housing began in 2008 as a small civil-engineering office in Samos Town, working on construction permits, surveys, and renovations for local clients. What started as engineering practice grew into a full real-estate and construction firm as more overseas buyers — from the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, and beyond — began asking for someone they could trust to navigate the Greek property market on their behalf.
Today we run two integrated practices under one roof: a licensed real-estate agency with a curated portfolio of vetted properties across the island, and an in-house civil engineering studio that handles design, permits, valuations, surveys, and αυθαίρετο regularisation. Most of our clients use both. That's the point — one team, one accountability line, from the first viewing to the day you turn the key.
