Avison Young has announced a strategic affiliation agreement with Athens-based QRA Real Estate Advisors as part of an expansion push in Southeastern Europe (SEE).


The agency points out that Greece's real estate market is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by a growing demand for people-centric and energy-efficient buildings.

This new collaboration will be led by Alexis Kotsioris as Principal & Managing Director and Eri Mitsostergiou as Principal & COO.

Kotsioris has more than 25 years’ worth of experience in commercial real estate advisory and transaction services in Greece. He has successfully advised on investment transactions totaling over €1.2 billion in retail, office, and logistics assets within the country. Previously, he worked at Savills Hellas for 18 years and has been running his own advisory firm for the past five years, specialising in commercial real estate brokerage.

Mitsostergiou has more than 25 years of extensive experience as an international property analyst, specialising in European and Global research and consultancy. She has previously worked as World Research Director at Savills.

"This collaboration reinforces Avison Young's commitment to providing world-class real estate services. Joining forces with this talented team in Greece strengthens AY's global presence and enhances our ability to deliver exceptional results for our clients,” said Mark Rose, Chairman & CEO of Avison Young.

Regionally, Avison Young is operating in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania.
