The leading Greek real estate portal operator Spitogatos has announced an investment in the Athens-based credit broker Individual Mortgage Solutions FC (IMS).

IMS was founded in 2015 and claims to account for 10% of Greek mortgages. In a LinkedIn post celebrating the deal, Spitogatos founder Dimitris Melachroinos referred to the company as the largest mortgage brokerage in Greece.
