Who we are

Greece Home Loans supports US residents exploring how to finance a second home, a retirement base or a long-term move in Greece. We are not a bank, nor are we a real estate agent. We review your finances and plans, talk you through a Greek purchase in clear English and match you with a fitting specialist from our network.

The team works from Drachten in the Netherlands and coordinates remotely with our network of specialists and partners. Our experience is strongest in the Cyclades, where island logistics and older buildings need careful preparation, but we work across all of Greece.

There is no obligation attached to a first inquiry. The mortgage scan makes the trade-offs between a Greek bank loan, US home equity and savings visible before viewings turn into deadlines. Whether and when you continue is your decision.

Specialists and partners

Buying a home abroad takes more than one party. That is why we work with two groups.

10+ specialists

The people who do the hands-on work: mortgage advisors and purchase guidance professionals who know the banks, rules and regions of the country they work in.

15+ partners

The firms and companies we work with on an ongoing basis, such as real estate agents, attorneys, notaries and tax advisors. Each of them handles its own part of the purchase.

These figures cover our entire network, in all the countries where we are active. Both the team and the network are still growing.

Property Guidance Network: guidance through the whole purchase

A mortgage is one part of the purchase. For guidance with searching, viewing, negotiating and closing, there is Property Guidance Network (PGN), our network for purchase guidance. The PGN website shows which countries the network is active in.

Every PGN specialist lives and works in the region where they guide buyers, from the first question to the handover of the keys.

What PGN-certified means

PGN assesses every specialist against six standards, when they join and periodically after that.

  1. Local knowledgeDemonstrably works in the region and knows the market and the buying process.
  2. Local networkEstablished contacts for legal, structural, financial and tax questions.
  3. Easy to reachAlso outside business hours, with an agreed response time.
  4. Real answersYou get an answer to your question, not a promise of one later.
  5. Multiple optionsThe specialist presents several suitable options. You choose.
  6. Approved profileWhat is said about a specialist has been checked and approved.

PGN certification is PGN's own quality mark for purchase guidance and not a license. For regulated advice, such as mortgage advice, we work with advisors who hold the required license.
