A Single Meeting: Purchase a 350,000 Euro Sea-View Villa in Athens

The allure of a low total price: 350,000 Euros is slightly higher than the minimum investment amount stipulated by the investment immigration act, yet it is merely the equivalent of a down payment for a similar property in a first-tier city in China. Furthermore, the high value proposition is compelling: through this property purchase, Ms. Li has realized her dreams of immigration, owning a sea-view villa, and traveling across multiple European countries in one step. As a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, Greece also offers its citizens highly generous welfare benefits. …

Client Profile: Ms. Li, 29 years old, family of 3, with a 3-year-old daughter, owner of a well-known bridal shop.

Property Information: Townhouse in the southern coastal area of Athens, 83 square meters, with a swimming pool.

Ms. Li grew up surrounded by art and has high standards for her quality of life; she has always had the idea of immigrating to Europe. She was looking for a place with a good environment, fewer people, and where her whole family could vacation during their leisure time. She met a friend who had experience with Greek immigration at a high-end fitness club, and their conversation solidified her decision to immigrate and begin her overseas home-settlement plan.

Introduced by her friend, she began working with Visas Consulting Group. The professional and patient introduction from the consultant made her feel very comfortable, and they helped her weigh and compare various options. During the consultation process, she gradually focused on properties in the Crete villa area. Consequently, she happily signed the agreement and set her inspection trip itinerary.

On February 27, after more than ten hours of flight, Ms. Li arrived in Athens and began her 6-day property buying journey accompanied by local customer service staff. Since Ms. Li had already gained a comprehensive understanding of the property information while in China, this trip was focused on getting a real-world feel for a few properties she was interested in. The client was first attracted to a 96-square-meter property with a large garden: the surrounding area is convenient for daily life, and the developer introduced that a large leisure center would be built nearby, featuring a shopping mall, a cinema, and a branch of Harvard University, offering significant appreciation potential. The property in Crete, on the other hand, was very close to the sea, offering an almost zero-distance experience of the ocean view. The classic blue and white colors, the comfortable sea breeze, and the relaxing and pleasant atmosphere, combined with complete supporting facilities and convenient access to the city center, were very appealing.
