Digital Real Estate Agreements: How Your Home Sold™ brought technology to Greek real estate market

The purchase or sale of a property does not begin at the notary's office. It begins the moment a seller places their trust in a real estate agent, from the very first property viewing, from the moment an offer is placed on the table. These critical stages of the brokerage process have, until now, been handled across Greece with paper forms, phone calls, and a considerable degree of informality and uncertainty.

Your Home Sold™ decided to change this from the ground up.

The First Real Estate Agency in Greece with a Fully Digital Brokerage System

In countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the digitisation of real estate brokerage has been standard practice for years. In Greece, the vast majority of agencies continue to operate with handwritten documents, printed forms and verbal confirmations.

Your Home Sold™ is the first real estate company in Greece to develop, entirely from scratch, a comprehensive digital management system for real estate contracts and brokerage transactions, built exclusively for the real-world needs of the Greek property market.

The 5 critical brokerage documents now signed digitally

1. 📝 Exclusive Assignment Agreement

The Exclusive Assignment Agreement is the foundation of the relationship between a property owner and their agent. It is the formal authorization granted by the seller or landlord to the agency, to market, promote and present their property, and to find the right buyers or tenants. This document defines the asking price, the terms of agreement, the duration of the assignment and the agency fee, all in writing, all transparent, with no ambiguity or room for misunderstanding. Until recently, this process at most agencies was done by hand or, worse, was skipped entirely.

At Your Home Sold™, the property owner receives a secure link by email, reviews all the agreed terms in full, and signs electronically with identity verification via a one-time OTP code sent to their mobile phone. The signed PDF is automatically delivered to both parties and the collaboration begins immediately.

With the Your Home Sold™ system, the assignment agreement is:

  • Drafted automatically from a standardized template aligned with the Real Estate Association's requirements
  • Completed digitally by the agent with all relevant property details
  • Sent to the seller via a secure, time-stamped link
  • Signed electronically with OTP verification on the client's mobile device
  • Automatically saved as a PDF with a full, tamper-proof, action log

The result: No property is marketed without a signed agreement. This protects the owner, the agent, and ensures all parties have a clear, shared understanding of what has been agreed from day one.

2. 📝 Property Viewing Agreement

Before a prospective buyer or tenant visits a property, they sign a Viewing Agreement. This document formally acknowledges the agent's role as an intermediary, a legal requirement explicitly set out under Greek Law 4072/2012, yet one that is routinely overlooked by the majority of agencies and unlicensed operators.

At Your Home Sold™, no property viewing takes place without a signed agreement. The process is simple and fast: the prospective buyer or tenant receives a link, fills in their details, and signs digitally using a unique OTP code sent to their mobile. This approach is particularly convenient when a prospective client wishes to view a property externally or scout the neighborhood before committing to an in-person appointment, saving valuable time and unnecessary expenses for both sides, while allowing the interested party to get a first impression of the property at any time that suits them.

Why it matters: The process is fully compliant with Greek law, transparent, and protective of all parties. The buyer or tenant knows exactly who they are working with and on what terms. The agent, in turn, holds documented legal coverage for every showing conducted and fulfills the legal obligation to maintain records and inform the property owner of the identity of all interested parties.

3. 💶 Buyer's Offer

A buyer has found the property he wants and is ready to make an offer. In the past, this stage was often informal at best. A verbal agreement, a handshake, nothing in writing, nothing binding, nothing transparent. That is no longer how the market works in 2026.

With Your Home Sold™, the buyer's offer is:

  • Prepared by the agent with all necessary fields and terms
  • Sent electronically to the buyer for completion of personal details and offer amount, with full review prior to signing
  • Signed with a secure electronic signature verified via OTP
  • Automatically dispatched to all parties and archived

The result: The offer is official, written, and unambiguous from the outset. No misunderstandings, no "that's not what I said." The seller is notified in real time of the interest in their property, with no delays or third-party interference.

4. ✅ Seller's Acceptance of Offer

Maybe the most critical moment in the property sale process: the seller decides to say yes. This moment must be properly documented to protect both the seller and the buyer.

With the Your Home Sold™ system:

  • The seller receives the buyer's offer via a secure link
  • They review it on their phone or computer, from anywhere
  • They fill in their details and sign the acceptance electronically
  • All parties automatically receive the signed PDF by email

The result: A deal is concluded in minutes, even when buyer and seller are in different cities or different countries.

5. 🤝 Escrow Agreement

Your Home Sold™ goes one step further. Beyond the digital signing of the above core agreements, the agency also handles the safe and structured closing of the deal through its escrow service: the secure holding of the agreed deposit (earnest money) following the acceptance of an offer, right through to the signing of the final notarial contract, including the relevant contractual clauses and protections.

The Escrow Agreement, which "seals" the property purchase, can now be signed electronically by the buyer from the comfort of their own home, with ample time to review all terms before committing.

Additional Feature: Automated SMS reminders for property viewings

The digital innovation at Your Home Sold™ extends beyond documents. The system also includes automated SMS notifications for scheduled property viewings with prospective buyers or tenants.

Every time a viewing appointment is confirmed:

  • The buyer automatically receives a confirmation SMS with the date, time, and address one hour before the scheduled appointment
  • The seller is notified of the upcoming visit
  • No phone call required. No risk of miscommunication.

A minor detail? Perhaps. But in practice, it eliminates the classic "I forgot", or "I thought you said 12, not 1" situations that waste time, resources, and goodwill on both sides.

Security and Legal Protection at Every Step

Every digital document produced by the system:

  • Carries a unique encrypted identifier impossible to forge or alter
  • Records the date, time, IP address, and device of the signatory
  • Is stored with a complete action history for any future legal or evidentiary purpose
  • Is generated as a professional-grade PDF, ready for filing or sharing with third parties

This protects all parties: the property owner, the buyer and the agent. Everyone can proceed with confidence, knowing that every step is documented, every agreement is enforceable and there will be no surprises down the line.

Why This Matters for Buyers and Sellers

For the Seller: You know exactly which agent is authorized to market your property. You know which offers have been submitted and when. And when you decide to accept, it takes minutes from the comfort of your home, without ever needing to come into the office.

For the Buyer: Your offer is official and on record from the moment you sign it. It cannot be lost or altered. And when the seller accepts, you find out immediately, not days later waiting for a phone call.

Our technology is a commitment, not a marketing slogan

Many companies talk about "digital transformation" and use buzzwords like "proptech". Your Home Sold™ is the pioneering company that actually built the technology in Greece, for Greece, and continues to lead the way. We designed a straightforward, easy-to-use system from the ground up, tailored to the real needs of the Greek property market. A system that works for every client who wants to complete their transaction quickly, correctly, and securely. And we continue to develop it.

This is not an off-the-shelf tool imported from abroad. It is technology built here, for here, with a deep understanding of what sellers, buyers and agents in Greece actually need. Because, at Your Home Sold™ we believe that exceptional real estate services are not simply a matter of brand or public relations. They are a matter of processes and systems that work.
