Prestigious IONIAN PROPERTIES

“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 helped us to find our perfect villa and provided insightful market knowledge during our search. He advised us throughout the acquisition process and introduced us to the best possible professional team. He subsequently located the owners of two neighbouring plots and secured these for us to buy.
He has advised on and overseen various aspects of the renovation and landscaping of our villa and has handled a complex land acquisition with seven different owners on our behalf.

His knowledge and local connections are second to none and he has always acted in a trustworthy and professional manner. We could not have done any of this without Piers, he is an excellent guy and we cannot recommend his services highly enough.

My wife and I have known Piers for almost a decade now and we have retained him to source, negotiate and acquire many different plots of land to help create a unique and private location on top of a hill with exceptional views.

For five years we had been looking for the ‘right’ island location and on the first day exploring sites with Piers, we found ‘the one’. Piers is very smart and operates in a discreet and professional manner. He can read his clients very well, so there is nothing like a “one size fits all” approach with him. Unlike most real estate agents, Piers is not purely transactional, he will stay close to help and advise years after he sold you the plot or property - clearly always coming up with ideas about what could be done next.

What I always found most helpful, especially on an island like Corfu, is that he has a very good rapport with the local community – he is certainly semi-local, which is absolutely key and helps sort out problems should they arise. I happily recommend Piers to my friends or anyone wishing to buy land or property in North East Corfu.

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.

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.

Piers Williams and his firm, Ionian International, have provided professional advice to my family over the past 14 years in relation to both the acquisition and valuation of property in the Ionian. He has acted for us on a number of occasions and has always been trustworthy, consistently knowledgeable, responsive and professional and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.
