Testimonials
Hear what some of our recent clients had to say
Very impressed listed with them 2 weeks ago my property has been marketed on over 100 high-ranking property platforms worldwide and translated into 79 languages. Proof of all marketing sent when requested and I have a viewing booked in next month already.

Esales very recently assisted in the marketing and sale of my overseas property. I can wholeheartedly recommend their professional marketing services as from day one they have been thorough. I must extend an extra arm of gratitude to my agent who went over and above to get things done outside working hours. Without his expert knowledge and guidance to set the right price for the market the process would have been harder. I was very pleased at the speed and efficiency of correspondence or calls at the weekend to tell me I had an offer. There was a few hurdles to get things done often but this was no issue for the reputable notary office they put me in touch with. I felt everything was under control at all times. If you are looking for an efficient and professional service to market to global investors look no further. Everything was extremely transparent.
Muhamed Ashid
I highly rate how professionally this company handled the marketing and exposure of my property, also the fact they are contactable by phone or email at any time for updates and help. They are so much more cost-effective than local agents who can easily fob you off and charge extortionate fees. Esales has more coverage in all markets around the world and after many years of trying with local agents, we decided this was the best route to go with. Delighted to have sold inside 8 weeks of listing and we will be listing 4 other overseas properties we own. Very thorough and transparent from start to finish and we sold over asking price for any cynics out there !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review
I have had an excellent experience advertising my properties with eSales and can confidently say they are true professionals in international real estate marketing.
Through eSales, I successfully promote a diverse portfolio of premium properties located directly in front of Ponta Preta Beach, Maio, Cabo Verde, including:
Beachfront and beach-view residential development lots
A model beachfront home
My beachfront restaurant, Martin’s,
A private beachfront mansion, and
My penthouse villa, Villa Martin
The eSales team is highly dedicated, responsive, and genuinely committed to serving their clients. They provide outstanding exposure, consistently generate high-quality, serious leads, and understand how to position unique international properties to the right audience.
What truly sets eSales apart is their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to connect sellers with motivated buyers and investors from around the world. Their platform has been an invaluable tool in expanding interest and visibility for my Cabo Verde properties.
I highly recommend eSales to any property owner or developer looking for reliable service, strong international reach, and real results. — Martin D. Harris Maio Properties | Cabo Verde

My property is advertised with Esales, not sold yet but it is early days. I live in Spain and deal with Gerard who always responds to any questions I have within minutes or at most, a few hours. My property is advertised all over the world so I am confident it will sell eventually, The fundamentals here are what impressed me. Gerard does what he says he will do and very quickly. For an online service that is very important and gives me confidence. Also, if Gerard needs information, he will call me. Speaking to a human being these days is rare but still essential. Thoroughly recommended.

I must say that my first exposure to this company was via an online search on google which happened to be an 'accident'. I normally engage directly with estate agents selling property face to face but after reading all about the company I decided to contact the company within minutes. Initially I was reluctant to respond but I am so glad I did!
Immediately after sending a request to contact me a polite and professional member of staff named Gerard phoned me and explained extensively how his company could meet my needs and requirements for selling my Bulgarian mountain house. I decided to go ahead and pay the one off marketing fee as I knew instantly that this would save me thousands of pounds in estate agent commission in Bulgaria.
Furthermore, Gerard went out of his way to compile and assist me with my marketing profile page and within just 48 hours, as promised, my property was live on 76 portals online, representing 42 countries with a spectrum of potential buyers of 249.1 million. Gerard has been transparent throughout and has advised me regularly regarding the progress of potential buyers. I am so impressed and Gerard advised me this is just part of the service offered by the company. I am very happy with the services offered and would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate in Crete
Selling property in Crete is a formal process governed by Greek national law, emphasizing legal transparency, technical compliance, and mandatory public registration. Whether you are selling a villa, an apartment, or a plot of land, success depends on meticulous preparation, professional legal representation, and ensuring all documentation is up to date.
The Legal Framework: Conveyancing and Registration
In Crete, as throughout Greece, real estate transactions must be conducted with precision to ensure the legal security of both the buyer and seller.
Mandatory Legal Representation: Greek law requires that property transfers be completed in front of a notary public, who drafts and validates the final contract. While not always strictly mandatory by law to have an attorney, it is highly recommended to appoint a lawyer to represent you, conduct due diligence, and ensure your interests are protected. If you are abroad, you can issue a Power of Attorney to your lawyer, allowing them to act and sign on your behalf.
The Sale Contract: This is the formal, binding agreement that transfers ownership. It must be signed before a Greek notary, who will verify all documentation and confirm the legality of the transaction.
Registration: Once the contract is signed, it must be registered with the local Land Registry or the National Cadastre office to officially transfer ownership to the buyer.
Taxation and Financial Obligations
Understanding your financial responsibilities is critical for calculating your net proceeds.
Capital Gains Tax: While a capital gains tax framework exists in Greek law, its application for individuals has been repeatedly suspended and is currently not enforced for standard private property sales. However, if your sales are deemed to be business activities, different tax rules may apply.
Transaction Costs:
Agent Commissions: If you use an estate agent, commissions are typically a percentage of the sale price, plus Value Added Tax.
Legal and Notary Fees: Seller’s legal fees are generally a small percentage of the sale price. Notary fees are also typically incurred and sometimes shared with the buyer.
Tax Clearance: You must pay any outstanding annual property taxes and municipal duties up to the year of the sale.
Strategy: Maximizing Market Exposure
To achieve a successful sale in the Cretan market, presentation and preparation are key.
Documentation Readiness: You are responsible for collecting the majority of the required documents, which can be time-consuming. Essential paperwork includes:
Title Deed: Proving ownership.
Electronic Building ID: A mandatory digital file describing the “as-built” status of the property, prepared by a civil engineer.
Certificate of Energy Efficiency: Mandatory for properties over a certain size.
Legality Certificate: Confirming no illegal structures exist on the property.
Tax and Municipal Clearances: Certificates confirming all property taxes and municipal duties are paid.
Property Condition: Ensure the property is in good condition for viewings. Professional photography and staging can significantly increase appeal to international buyers.
Due Diligence: Ensure all outstanding mortgages or liens are identified and discharged so the property is “clean” for conveyance.
Pro-Tip for Sellers: If your property is located in specific “border” or strategic areas, be aware that non-EU buyers may need special permits to purchase. While this usually does not affect the seller’s ability to sell, it can impact the timeline of the transaction. Always ensure your civil engineer verifies the property’s compliance with current “arbitrariness laws” early in the process to avoid delays.
