Public service pages checked 23 September 2026. This guide is published by mamaXO, which is included below. It is not an independent ranking or an assessment of the companies’ actual results. Start with the work your property needs, then compare written offers for that same work.
Which kind of help does your property need?
| Your situation | The service to compare |
|---|---|
| Empty apartment ready to let | Preparation, advertising, viewings, tenant selection and handover. Ask separately about support after move-in. |
| Apartment with an existing tenant | Ongoing communication, payment records, agreed repair coordination and transfer of existing tenancy information. |
| Second home that stays empty | Scheduled property checks, access and documented follow-up. Home oversight does not automatically include finding or managing a tenant. |
| Considering letting to an operating company | A lease in which the company becomes your tenant. Compare the lease, payment obligations, permitted use, repairs and exit terms rather than treating it as an ordinary management fee. |
mamaXO: long-term apartment management
mamaXO’s Athens service page explains the tasks an owner can discuss delegating and the decisions they retain. Compare the scope of each plan, including which tasks need a local person. A lower-priced partial service should not be described as the lowest full-management offer. See current mamaXO plans and fee calculations and confirm the property-specific scope before signing.
CityValue: property management
CityValue’s service page describes payment monitoring, property condition checks and owner updates. Ask for the written scope, total charges, approval process and the responsibilities of any legal or accounting professionals. A public service description is not a quote for your flat.
Blueground: leasing a property to an operator
Blueground’s Greek owner page describes leasing and furnishing selected apartments for subsequent rental. Compare the actual proposed lease: rent, payment conditions, obligations, damage and return of the property. A fixed contractual rent is not proof of zero counterparty risk or a guarantee applicable to every owner.
Home Watch Athens: oversight while you are away
Home Watch Athens describes scheduled home checks, photographic updates and coordination of approved work. This addresses oversight of a home when its owner is absent. Confirm any additional letting or tenancy service in writing instead of inferring its presence or absence from a membership label.
Compare the written offer, not just the headline percentage
| Ask every provider | Record the answer |
|---|---|
| Fee basis and final amount | Collected rent or rent due; percentage or fixed fee; VAT; minimum charge; setup and tenant-placement charges. |
| Vacancy and late payment | Which fees continue, who checks payments, and what is excluded from the ordinary service. |
| Repairs | Approval threshold, emergency authority, contractor invoices, coordination charges and who pays. |
| Legal and tax work | Named responsible professional, authority needed and separate fees. Document preparation is not the same as filing or legal representation. |
| Owner reporting | Ask for an illustrative statement showing amounts due, amounts received, fees, expenses and unresolved items. |
| Ending the agreement | Notice, exit fees, work already authorised, and delivery of keys, records and a final reconciliation. |
How to choose for your own apartment
Ask two or three providers to price the same situation. An existing tenant does not automatically mean you only need free software; an empty flat does not automatically require every available service. Compare the responsibilities you want to keep with the work you want to delegate.
For an occupied apartment, agree the transfer of the lease and amendments, payment ledger, deposit records, keys and access rules, open repairs and tenant communication. Do not send private tenant documents with an initial sales enquiry.
Use the manager-selection checklist to request comparable answers. To explore mamaXO, Discuss management of my Athens apartment. Share the area, whether there is a tenant, and the tasks you want help with. The next step is to assess fit and agree scope and fees, not automatic acceptance or a rent guarantee.
