Expertise You Can Call Local
It started with a phone call from a family friend and Origin Finance client who was nearly lost in the maze of Greek red tape. Jim Simos realised then that our community didn’t just need a broker—they needed a navigator who speaks both “Bank” and “Greek.”
As a Greek-born Australian with 25 years of experience in finance, Jim serves as your Cultural Bridge. Melbourne-based, Australian-regulated, and locally connected.
What the Community is Telling Us
I’ve always dreamed of a home in the village for my kids, but the legal side and the fear of dealing with Greek bureaucracy are terrifying. Knowing we have someone like Jim who knows both systems changes everything.
Eleni K., Melbourne
Trying to explain a Greek investment to an Australian bank is a nightmare. Finding out we could use our home equity here to fund a place there was the 'lightbulb moment' we needed.
Peter S., Sydney
My biggest worry is making an 'expensive mistake' because I don't speak the legal language over there. Having a Melbourne team to oversee the AFM and Greek ID process removes that wall.
Costa G., Melbourne
It’s about heritage first, but the 5-6% yields in Greece are a bonus. We just need a partner we can trust to manage the property while we're back in Australia.

FAQ
Addressing the "Great Unknown
-
Do I need to fly to Greece to organize my mortgage or ID?
No. We coordinate everything from our Melbourne-based office, working with our vetted partners in Greece so you can manage your investment without the travel.
-
Can I use the equity in my Australian home to buy in Greece?
Yes. Through our specialist "Zero-Cash" strategy, we help you leverage your Australian equity to potentially cover your deposit or the full purchase price.
-
Is it difficult for an Australian resident to get approved by a Greek bank?
It is if you go it alone. We ensure your Australian PAYG or Self-Employed documents are "re-packaged" to meet Greek lending standards for a smooth approval.
