Property Visit Guidelines

Property visits are arranged exclusively with clients who are personally interested in purchasing. We do not schedule viewings for relatives, friends or third parties viewing on someone else's behalf.

This policy exists for good reason. First, the actual decision-maker needs to experience the property first-hand. Second, owners and tenants deserve full privacy and security during visits. Third, and most importantly, direct communication leads to accurate decisions and avoids misunderstandings down the line.

We kindly ask all buyers to contact us at least 15 days before their intended visit and to provide a clear list of the properties they wish to see.

There are several reasons why this matters. Many properties are occupied, so we need time to coordinate access with owners or tenants. In addition, our schedule is often very full — particularly during the summer months when demand is at its peak. Finally, proper preparation allows us to offer you a professional, unhurried viewing experience rather than a rushed appointment.

• Contact us at least 15 days before your intended arrival on Samos
• Provide a clear shortlist of the properties you wish to view
• Share your approximate budget and preferred property type

If you need to arrange viewings with fewer than 15 days' notice, we will do our best to accommodate you. However, a Visit Fee may apply to cover the additional logistics and travel involved in last-minute scheduling.

Importantly, if you go on to purchase a property through Samos Housing, the Visit Fee is fully deducted from your service fees. As a result, committed buyers pay nothing extra. The fee simply ensures that our team's time and travel costs are fairly allocated when short-notice arrangements are necessary.

For both security and legal compliance in Greece, identification is required from all viewing guests. Specifically, the following apply:

• Complete our Booking Form with your full name and passport or ID number
• Bring your original passport or ID card on the day of the visit

Samos is a large island and properties are often located far apart. Therefore, to keep your visit realistic and productive, the following structure applies to every appointment:

• Maximum appointment duration: 2 hours
• Maximum properties per appointment: 3 properties
• Properties must be within a 20 km radius of each other

This structure allows us to give each property the attention it deserves. Moreover, it ensures that your viewing is focused on properties that are genuinely relevant to your needs — rather than a long list of loosely related options spread across the island.

If you wish to see properties in different areas of Samos, we are happy to organise separate appointments on different days. This gives each location the proper context and travel time it requires.

We genuinely value your time — and equally the time of property owners, tenants and our team. By following these guidelines, you help us deliver a service that is professional, well-prepared and worthwhile for everyone involved.

Our goal is straightforward. We want every visit to bring you closer to the right property. That is why we focus on serious buyers with clear intentions, rather than fitting in as many viewings as possible. Quality over quantity — always.

If you are ready to begin, please contact us with your property shortlist and preferred dates. We will take care of everything from there.
