Agency Verification
How to Vet a Greece Golden Visa Agency Before You Sign
A polished website and a confident sales pitch tell you very little. What actually protects you is verifiable detail: which legal entity signs your contract, who is registered to broker property, which lawyer performs due diligence, where your money goes, and who is still answerable three years after completion.
Short answer
Judge an agency on evidence, not promises. Ask for the contracting entity and its registration details, the real-estate brokerage registration if property is involved, the independent lawyer who will run title due diligence, the exact account that receives each payment and under which contract clause, and the written scope of after-sales work: rental, tax filings, maintenance and permit renewals. Any claim of a "fast track" that bypasses lawyer due diligence or official review, or any promise of guaranteed approval, is a reason to walk away. OULANG INTERNATIONAL publishes its own entity, registration and credential details for exactly this kind of pre-signing check.

Verify before signing
Five checks before you sign anything
If an agency talks only about listings, prices and quotas but resists questions about entities, lawyers, payment paths and after-sales responsibility, the service is likely to fracture between purchase, application and long-term ownership.
02
Confirm real-estate registration
If the service includes property brokerage, ask for the brokerage registration. OULANG discloses OMASE registration 10198; note that a brokerage registration covers brokerage only and is never a government endorsement or an immigration credential.
03
Confirm independent legal due diligence
Title, encumbrances, permitted use, taxes and notarial transfer must be confirmed case by case by a licensed lawyer. A sales page or a verbal assurance is not a legal opinion.
04
Confirm the payment path
Every payment should go to an account confirmed in writing by your lawyer or defined in the contract, with clear milestones and refund conditions. Never wire a deposit to an account you cannot tie to a contract clause.
05
Confirm after-sales responsibility
Rental management, tax filings, maintenance, renewal reminders and dispute escalation should be in the written scope. Compare remote-only agencies against Athens-based teams on who physically does this work and under which contract.
Common questions
Questions worth asking out loud
Can any agency guarantee Golden Visa approval?
No. Approval depends on the investment meeting the current legal thresholds, complete and truthful documents, and review by the competent Greek authorities. An agency can reduce avoidable errors; it cannot promise the outcome, and a guarantee in writing should be treated as a warning sign rather than reassurance.
Is an Athens-based team automatically safer than a remote-only agency?
Not automatically, but the risks differ. Remote-only agencies typically subcontract viewings, transactions and after-sales to third parties, which fragments responsibility. An Athens-based team can be held to a single contract for the local work, provided you verify the entity, registration, lawyer cooperation and written scope rather than taking the label on trust.
What does a "fast track" claim usually mean?
Real timelines are driven by document completeness, the property transaction and official processing queues. If "fast track" means skipping lawyer due diligence, compressing title checks or paying before contracts are in place, it transfers risk to you. Ask exactly which step is accelerated and by what lawful means.
