About Us

Our Story

INVéSTIA Properties was born from a vision that few in real estate dare to hold — that property is never merely a transaction. It is a bridge between cultures, a chapter in a family's story, and a cornerstone of lasting wealth.

The name itself tells you everything. Drawn from the Ancient Greek Ἑστίᾱ (Estia/Hestia) — goddess of the hearth, guardian of home and family — blended with Investment, INVéSTIA embodies what we do: we make your investment feel like coming home.

Founded by Maria Stamataki, a Realtor and Political Scientist with deep roots in Greek and Cretan culture, INVéSTIA Properties was built on the belief that exceptional real estate advisory must go beyond listings and contracts. It must understand the client's life, ambitions, and legacy.

What Makes Us Different

Most real estate agencies show you properties. We show you possibilities.

INVéSTIA operates at the intersection of exclusive real estate, international tax strategy, residency planning, and cutting-edge AI security technology — offering a truly end-to-end experience for discerning investors, families, and entrepreneurs relocating to or investing in Greece and Switzerland.

Our clients come to us because they need more than an agent. They need a trusted partner who understands Greek Golden Visa regulations as well as they understand the view from a Cretan hilltop villa. Who can guide them through Non-Dom tax residency in the morning and introduce them to a curated portfolio of investment-grade properties in the afternoon.

We are that partner.

Our Values

Heritage. We are rooted in the rich traditions of Greek and Cretan culture. Every recommendation we make is informed by genuine local knowledge, relationships, and respect for the land.

Integrity. We operate with full AML compliance, GDPR standards, and transparent KYC processes — because trust is the foundation of every lasting partnership.

Innovation. From our AI security partnerships to our online services e-shop, we embrace the tools that make your investment journey smarter, faster, and safer.

Discretion. Our clients are high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutions. Their privacy is not a courtesy — it is our commitment.
