APARTMENTS MANAGEMENT
Apartments represent a different option, a special case of tourist accommodation, which creates income for the Owner, through their short or long term lease. A short-term lease is defined as the lease of property concluded through digital platforms for a specific period of less than one year. However, growing competition, mainly through the online AIRBNB platform, does not allow the Owner to earn the required income. At the same time, taxes on real estate, especially the one called «ENΦΙΑ», in relation to the increasing demand for the tourist market, have pushed the tourist exploitation and have created an “overcrowding” in AIRBNB, resulting in significant decrease of the rental rates and as a final result, very low occupancy.
Our company, having the necessary know-how and experience, undertakes the set up process of a property on the digital platforms that can deliver significantly higher income and especially emphasize the particularities of each apartment through and to the worldwide network. Our experience is the result of the global experience and demand for flats or apartments and allows us to differentiate and achieve significantly higher income which we guarantee.
Our company undertakes the holistic management of your property in Athens and provides high quality services through a network of experienced partners in the fields of maintenance, cleaning and hospitality.
Our goal is always to maximize the income for the owner.
