The structural gap REXE fills

Without a regulated escrow mechanism, Greek property transactions rely on the buyer transferring funds directly to the seller's account at deed signing — with no independent protection if the transaction fails, the title is encumbered, or a dispute arises.

Since December 11, 2024, all property payments must be made by banking methods. Cash transactions — or contracts that record cash payments — are automatically void. REXE's Payment Confirmation Certificate documents that funds moved via regulated banking channels.

AADE and audit trail

AADE (the Greek tax authority) treats unexplained bank credits as undeclared income, taxable at 33%. REXE's documented escrow trail — timestamped, counterparty-verified, milestone-referenced — provides both buyer and seller with a clean, defensible fund provenance record for any AADE inquiry.
