Meet Your Athens Property Manager

Meet your Trusted Athens Property Manager.

Yanis Zisis spent 15 years as an overseas property owner, including a decade in London. He knows what it feels like to have no reliable person looking after your home in Athens. When he returned, he built the service he could never find.

Every property under Home Watch Athens is personally overseen by Yanis. He is the sole keyholder, your single point of contact, and the person who conducts every inspection.

One person. Direct WhatsApp access. Always the same person who was there last time.

No unsupervised access

Your keys stay with one trusted person. No subcontractors, no third-party access.

No guesswork

Timestamped photo reports after every visit. You see exactly what was checked.

The Industry Problem

Most property management companies in Athens are not built for overseas owners.

The industry in Athens is fragmented. Most companies are set up for local landlords, not for someone living in Melbourne, Toronto, or London who needs reliable communication, documented accountability, and someone who genuinely acts in their interest.

The result is a pattern overseas owners know too well: strong communication at the start, then silence. Staff turnover. Vague updates. Jobs that never get finished. And no way to verify what is happening at your property.

Broken communication

Messages unanswered for days. Passed between staff who have no context.

Inexperienced, rotating staff

Junior employees who do not know your property and will not be there next month.

Companies that disappear

Small operations that fold, change ownership, or stop responding without warning.

No documentation or accountability

No photos, no reports, no proof that anyone actually visited your property.

With us, you get the opposite

A reliable, founder-led contact dedicated to your home. Access to a vetted network of professionals and unique services. Full documentation and accountability. Limited membership to ensure quality never drops.

Home Watch Athens membership plans start at €99 per month for one scheduled visit, €149 per month for two visits, and €249 per month for four visits. All plans follow the same comprehensive inspection checklist — only the visit frequency changes. A one-time onboarding fee of €100 applies for new clients. Prices exclude Greek VAT (24%). Additional services such as maintenance coordination, bill payment, and building representation are available at extra cost and quoted in advance.

Our core service includes scheduled property inspections with a comprehensive checklist covering plumbing, humidity, electrical panels, doors, windows, balconies, and ventilation. Every visit is documented with timestamped photos sent via WhatsApp. Beyond inspections, members have access to maintenance coordination and contractor oversight, utility bill payment and monitoring, building meeting representation, pre-arrival cleaning and preparation, insurance oversight, and emergency response coordination.

Yes - properties visited infrequently are the ones most at risk. Most Greek home insurance policies include vacancy clauses that can void your coverage if a property is left unattended for more than 30 to 60 consecutive days. Beyond insurance, unoccupied homes develop problems silently: leaks, humidity, pest infestations, and blocked drains can escalate into serious damage when no one is monitoring. Regular documented visits protect your property and your insurance simultaneously.

We cover all of Athens and the wider Attica region, including Central Athens, Kolonaki, Pagrati, Koukaki, the Athens Riviera corridor (Faliro, Elliniko, Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza), the northern suburbs (Kifisia, Ekali, Psychiko, Marousi, Chalandri), and surrounding areas. If your property is outside these areas, contact us to discuss whether we can accommodate your location.
