Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know what my property is worth?

HOMI provides a free valuation based on actual sales data, and current listing data amongst other valuation techniques in order to estimate the market price of your property. An accurate valuation means that you are more likely to generate interest for your property and sell faster.

Who takes the photos?

Once you engage us, we do all the work so you don’t have to. Your HOMI expert will arrange the high-quality photos and create the 360° virtual tour. We select the photos that can best attract buyers, and send them to you and for approval. Once approved, we upload them!

Who undertakes the viewings?

You do! You are the one who best knows your property and your neighbourhood. The HOMI team schedules visits with buyers according to your availability. If you are unavailable or just don’t want to conduct the viewings, don’t worry as we can help. For a fixed fee of €500 we take care of each and every viewing and update you with feedback after each one.

How can HOMI offer such a low fixed fee?

The answer is simple, we work smarter not harder. Our HOMI experts do not waste time searching for new customers. They are doing what they do best - selling properties.

You as the owner of the property can become frustrated at the inefficiency of a traditional agent. While they are trying to win more business, they cannot focus on what’s important, that is selling/marketing your property. Because of this it’s not uncommon for many agents to only sell a handful of properties each year. Only through high commissions can they actually break even.

HOMI does not need a high commission to be profitable. We therefore focus on providing you with the best possible service to sell your property quicker and easier. 

Can I sign with you if I am under another exclusivity agreement with another agency?

No. You cannot engage us while you are under an existing exclusivity agreement. Only when the exclusivity with the other agency has expired can you engage us. 

Are you able to provide free valuations for all types of properties?

For the moment, we only provide valuations for residential properties. In particular, houses and apartments.

How do you help with getting all the documentation

The document collection process is a very time-consuming task that involves many parties. Our online document support provides you with clear instructions on what documents are required and how to get them. We coordinate with your chosen engineers, lawyers, notaries and accountants to upload the key documents required for a sale contract. We clear up any confusion and help to resolve any problems that may arise. We can even arrange to collect documents on your behalf from the responsible authorities. HOMI speeds up the entire process so that you can get your money sooner.

Does a cheap service equal a poor service?

Clear answer: No. We know that the sale of real estate is one of the most important decisions that you will make in your life. Only the best service is good enough. We always want to live up to this claim. HOMI has developed technology to speed up the entire sales process for you. This means that we can offer our service to you at a cheaper price. Sellers and buyer can save money and get deals done faster. HOMI will never bother you with cold calls to sell your home. We will never list your property without your express permission.  We focus on earning your trust by providing you with clear and transparent information. We offer you everything a great real estate office should offer – and much more.

What happens if a buyer approaches me directly?

If a buyer approaches you directly, we encourage you to share your listing with them. The buyer can see detailed, high-quality information about your property and book a viewing based on your availability.  An informed buyer is more likely to make a serious offer at a good price. After all, we created a fantastic listing to impress potential buyers and get the best deal for you. You can accept and reject offers via the HOMI platform and our team can assist you in negotiations with interested buyers. Once an offer is accepted, HOMI assists you throughout the entire documentation process up until the final contract. This means that you can create a deal that works for you. You can navigate the documentation process with confidence and get your money faster.

What happens if I have signed an agreement with HOMI to sell my property, but I then sell directly to a buyer without any involvement from the HOMI team?

HOMI is an affordable service that saves you thousands of euros. If you have signed with HOMI but you choose to sell directly to a buyer without our mediation, then you will miss out on significant savings. You will not be able to benefit from our negotiation support, accepting and rejecting offers via the platform, and our documentation support. This means that you risk leaving money on the table. You also may be required to pay a marketing fee for the creation of your virtual tour, professional photography, and floorplan. So, it is much better to let us assist you in selling your property.

Which areas do you serve?

We serve the Athens area and primarily focus on residential property.
