Home Watch Athens: Trusted Property Oversight For Overseas Owners
Owning a property in Athens should be a joy, not a source of stress. After years of living abroad and navigating the "nightmares" of maintaining his own property in Greece from thousands of miles away, Yanis Zisis realized that overseas owners need more than just a keyholder; they need a professional advocate on the ground.

This is why he founded Home Watch Athens, a boutique, members-only service designed specifically for homeowners who require a trusted, local professional to oversee their property in their absence. The company provides a "one-to-one" personalised property management service, focusing on accountability, technical knowledge, and proactive maintenance. They help you catch issues early, coordinate repairs, and ensure your Greek home insurance remains valid through documented proof of attendance.
