Managing property on Hydra from construction, renovation & maintenance to hospitality so you're 'all set', or as the Greeks would say, 'entaxy'.
MISSION
ENTAXY creates a seamless, home-owning experience whether you are living locally or internationally. When onboarding a new client, a customized plan is developed, tailored to suit each clients’ specific needs, ranging from construction projects, general maintenance, housekeeping and gardening, to book keeping, leasing and sales.
VISION
ENTAXY focus on sustainable housing, with ideas on recycling and upcycling for properties that highlight the architectural heritage while safeguarding current and future needs. We maintain our properties at the highest standard, from laying the founding stone to renovation in order to fully enjoy your home experience.
PHILOSOPHY
Entaxy is a Greek word that means ‘all set’, but also has another more interesting meaning. The word entaxy is synonymous to Negentropy, which is the
opposite of Entropy. According to the 2nd Thermodynamical Law, Entropy defines the measure of the disorder of a system. The lowest the Entropy is, the more Negentropic it is. In other words, Entaxy defines a balanced environment having set the standards for keeping everything in order. This is our philosophy in Entaxy, our mission and our goal.
CHRISTOS SMYRNIOTIS
Christos Smyrniotis has been managing property business since 2018. Beginning with hospitality management, moving onto construction and renovation projects. He identified a need in the local market and founded Entaxy, focusing on managing primary and secondary residencies for high-net worth individuals in Hydra, in Athens and in UK.
HOW WE WORK
STEP ONE: Our first meeting to discuss your property needs, our onboarding process, is a questionnaire and a discussion. We take that information and develop a customized plan for your needs. What that means? Every homeowner has needs, do you live in your home and want a single point of contact for any work that needs to be done or on-going maintenance, or do you live abroad and need your bills paid and the home leased out for the next year? We develop a plan to fill any gaps there are between living in your home and letting your home own you.
STEP TWO: We do a full inspection of your property and evaluate work that needs to be done for maintaining the integrity of your property, work the should be done to keep your property up to our A+ standards, and any simple aesthetic changes that could improve your home. We also create a list of your vendors, fill in which may still be needed and set up all payments and your deposit account.
STEP THREE: Bring your home up to our A+ standards and keep it there!
