 We
are delighted to announce our membership of
SY.ME.NO.X (pronounced
SI-men-och), the Chania Real Estate Agents Association. In order to remain in
the Association - which now has over 50 members - members have to be fully licensed,
obey a strict code of conduct, use proper documentation, and provide a high
level of service to buyers and sellers.
The Association provides members with the latest information on property law
and other property and tax-related matters; regular seminars to stay up to date
with the current situation; and enjoyable social events to make new friends
and form co-operative arrangements, to everyone’s benefit.
It’s a three-way relationship - we all benefit from other member’s experiences,
brain-storming sessions and seminars. Our own small contributions hopefully
help other members. And clients benefit from the greatly improved level of professionalism
and services.
In a booming real estate market where many unlicensed agents work without registration,
offices or controls - often to the detriment and financial loss of foreign clients
- the aim of the Association is to strengthen the professional and responsible
culture in the industry; protect our clients; weed out the pirates; and actively
promote and cooperate with ΣΕΚ (SEK) – the national Greek Real Estate
Agents Association.
We are proud to have been accepted as members, and would like to thank all the
agencies and committee members who sponsored our membership. The very warm welcome
we received from existing members was completely unexpected and greatly appreciated.
