Hellenic Association of Realtors
The Hellenic Association of Realtors ( H.A.R. ) was formed in January of 1999 by a group of leading Greek real estate agencies. Its central quarters are based in Athens but has equally active, each within its own region, sub-quarters. Its sub-quarters are spread around the country and located in high population areas such as Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklio, Larisa, Lamia and on most of the larger islands.

It is the only professional real estate body in Greece that can cover the whole country, and the only one recognized by the European Confederation of Estate Agents (C.E.I.). The board of directors meets bimonthly at alternate quarters. This enforces a more powerful and effective presence of H.A.R., on a local and national basis.
