Full-service property management in Athens for international owners

Home Watch Athens membership is one monthly fee that covers the monthly visit, and Yanis confirms it after your application, once he knows where your home is and what it needs.

Member services such as maintenance, renovations, bills and admin are quoted per job before anything goes ahead, and contractor invoices are passed on at cost with no markup. Membership is billed monthly and you can cancel anytime.

Each month, Yanis visits your home for approximately 60 minutes and works through a 12-point checklist: full interior inspection, airing, heating, air conditioning and hot water operated, leak, moisture and odour check, pest check, tap and toilet flushing, balcony and terrace drain clearing, visual electric panel inspection, indoor plant watering, mail collection, a 10-minute car start/stop and a photo report via WhatsApp.

Membership is tailored to your home and can also include recurring cleaning and housekeeping, preventative maintenance, organising and supervising repairs, managing plumbers, electricians and other contractors, handling utility bills and communal expenses, dealing with building management and administrative matters, managing emergencies and unexpected problems, preparing the property before your arrival, and regular updates, photographs and expense reporting. Each service is quoted first and only goes ahead with your approval.

Full-service means one person looks after everything your Athens home needs, from the monthly visit to repairs, renovations, bills, building matters and pre-arrival preparation.

Yanis visits every home himself and is the only keyholder. Everything beyond the monthly visit is quoted first and only goes ahead with your approval.

Home watch is the monthly visit: someone checks your empty home in person and reports back. Property management adds everything around it, from repairs, renovations, bills and building matters to pre-arrival preparation.

Home Watch Athens does both. The monthly home watch visit is your membership, and the rest is quoted when you need it.

Yes. Most members live abroad, including in the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, the UAE, the United States, Canada and Australia. Everything is handled remotely over WhatsApp and email.
