Prestigious IONIAN PROPERTIES

We most wholeheartedly commend and recommend Piers Williams, based upon our association with him over several years, during which acted as our real estate agent in the sale of a Corfu property. We found him to be dedicated and resourceful in the sale of our property.

It was an extraordinarily difficult period in Greece, both economically and in the real estate market. Piers was absolutely focused on finding a buyer and seeing the deal through, despite many unexpected obstacles. We encountered an unusual number of challenging difficulties during this transaction and were particularly impressed by Piers' positive approach to finding a solution at every juncture. If one strategy did not work, he found another path to deal with the issue at hand. He confronted zoning issues, unexpected taxation and legal questions, governmental and regulatory frustrations, as well as dealing with a variety of personalities with a solution-oriented outlook, tact and diplomacy.

We were impressed by the team he assembled and his flexibility in organising them to resolve questions. We found him adept at dealing with the local problems and always finding a solution and at ease with dealing with people in all situations. We felt we could rely upon him to fully represent us in every way. We would recommend him as a dedicated and highly reliable and effective professional.

I have known Piers Williams for the past 15 years and he has helped me expertly with my various property projects in Paxos. I have found Piers to be knowledgeable and experienced with luxury property throughout the Ionian. He is trustworthy, professional and has an excellent reputation. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

I have known Piers since 2002 when we met in Corfu. In 2004 we decided to build a property there and Piers sourced us three different but adjoining plots of land. During the acquisition process we granted Piers power of attorney and employed him as our Project Manager.

Over the years Piers has made some very good contacts on the Island of Corfu from builders, solicitors, architects, bank managers - all of whom hold him in high regard. He used these contacts to oversee the construction of our property from start to finish.
With the project of building our house I also gave Piers power of attorney for my bank account and to get all the legal papers done without us having to commute to the island ourselves, which enabled him to pay the constructors throughout the build and enabled him to get the services connected, so we had complete faith in him. Everything that we asked Piers to do - he did and the build came in on time.

“I have spent several years looking into buying land and building in NE Corfu and have now happily finished our dream project.

There are many pitfalls in Corfu and the opportunities to fall into them are numerous. But, Piers has been invaluable to me and helped me to arrive at the right destination knowing the area extremely well. If you are seriously looking at real estate in North East Corfu he is totally trustworthy, transparent and incredibly helpful. His knowledge of the area, the people and the environment for a foreign buyer is unrivalled. I would happily recommend him to anyone thinking of purchasing or building on Corfu.

Piers was recommended to us by varying local sources on the island, as the best person to help us find a seafront villa. We found Piers to be most knowledgeable about the market and the manner in which he operated was very professional and tailored to our needs. He is incredibly well connected on the island and used these connections to find us a truly unique waterfront property. Throughout the viewings and acquisition Piers was on hand to guide us through the process and we found his ability to meet with us either in Corfu or London really helpful. Piers then generated the idea of acquiring the neighbouring property and successfully negotiated an off-market acquisition of this villa and land. He introduced us to our lawyer and builder and continues to be on hand to offer advice and help where needed.

He was instrumental in creating and orchestrating a clever planning concept which enabled us to create much more living space. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Piers.

His local knowledge and connections on the island were key in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Most importantly we have found Piers to be an honest and trustworthy individual, who handled all matters on our behalf with the utmost discretion. We know that if we ever wanted to purchase a property on the island, he would be the best person to go to for this very reason. The fact that his contacts and knowledge are second to none is also a bonus
