Architecting a Luxury PropTech Platform for Spain & Greece

By Gerasimos Makris & Efstathios Georgopoulos

Building a real estate gallery platform that serves international buyers, local sellers, and real estate brokers across Spain and Greece requires solving three core challenges: search friction, document overload, and visual luxury.

Here is how co-founders Gerasimos Makris (Lead Architect) and Efstathios Georgopoulos engineered E&G Online Houses to deliver a zero-friction user experience.

1. Accent & Diacritic-Insensitive Search

Buyers looking for property in Marbella (Málaga) or Athens (Σπίτι) often type without accent marks. We built a normalized search index that matches queries regardless of diacritics:

• Searching "villa in madrid under 2000000" instantly filters price and region.
• Searching "Malaga", "Málaga", "Spiti", or "Σπίτι" yields identical accurate results.

2. 60-Second Documentless Submissions

Traditional real estate portals force property owners to upload title deeds and tax registrations before showcasing a draft. At E&G Online Houses:

• Property owners submit basic location, price, and photos in under 60 seconds.
• No legal paperwork is required up front for initial draft listings.
