You pay us for the report. That's the business model.
We do not sell property. We do not earn more when a property is more expensive. We do not get paid because a transaction closes. Our business model is simple: the buyer pays for independent property research. That distinction matters.
Buyer-paid reports.
Our revenue comes from buyers who choose to purchase a report. That is the commercial relationship. You pay us to research and organise the available evidence around a property.
We are not paid by the seller to market it. We are not paid by a broker to help close it. We are not paid a percentage of the purchase price. The fee is tied to the work we provide — not to the outcome of the transaction.
No property sales. No closing commission.
The Greek Property Report is not a brokerage. Whether you buy the property, negotiate a lower price or decide not to proceed does not change our commercial incentive.
We do not list properties for sale.
We do not represent sellers.
We do not negotiate sale prices on behalf of sellers.
We do not earn a brokerage commission.
We do not take a percentage of the purchase price.
We do not receive a success fee when a property is sold.
No hidden seller-side relationship.
If a company presents itself as independent, the buyer should be able to understand who is paying it. Our default position is straightforward: a report should not be influenced by a hidden commercial relationship with the seller, listing agent, developer or another party that benefits from the transaction.
If we ever enter into a commercial relationship that could reasonably matter to the buyer, that relationship should be disclosed clearly — not buried in legal text, not hidden behind vague language.
Any future referral relationship must be disclosed.
The business may work with external professionals or service providers in the future. If a referral arrangement involves payment, commission or another commercial benefit, that relationship should be visible to the buyer.
Commercial relationships are not automatically a problem. Hidden commercial relationships are.
What happens when an incentive could affect the report?
Independence should be a working rule, not a marketing sentence.
Disclose it clearly.
If a financial or commercial relationship could reasonably matter to the buyer, make it visible.
Remove the conflict where possible.
Change the structure when the incentive can be separated from the analysis.
Decline the work if necessary.
If the conflict is significant enough that the report could no longer reasonably be presented as independent, do not present it that way.
The report should not benefit from a higher price or a closed deal.
When you are considering a property, the people around the transaction can have different incentives. Those roles can be legitimate. They are simply different from ours.
Wants to sell.
The seller's role is to complete a sale on acceptable terms.
May be paid when the deal closes.
The broker's commercial model can be linked to the transaction completing.
Paid for the report.
Our fee should not become larger because the asking price is higher, you agree to pay more, or the transaction closes.
Independent data before you buy. Not because we say “trust us.” Because the incentive structure is visible.
See the evidence. Then decide.
We don't sell property. We help buyers see it clearly.
