Bookers Model Agency
Marousi is a northern suburb of Athens, linked to the centre by metro line 1. Of the 24 Greek agencies in our catalogue, one is here. Greece has neither a licence for model agencies nor an association of them, so the catalogue lists every agency that represents models. We do not vouch for them, and each profile shows what we found, good and bad: fees charged to applicants, payment terms, schools, company details and press reports.
Bookers Model Agency was founded in 1996 and is run by Nikos Koumoundouros. Its office is on Amarousiou-Chalandriou Street, which links Marousi with Chalandri. The agency represents models and actors for commercials, films and print. In its terms it writes that it adds a 20% service charge plus VAT to the model's fee for the client, and charges for rights renewals from the second year. Ask before you sign how much is taken from the model; we found no fee for applicants on its website.
The agency calls itself a member of the Greek Model Agencies Union (S.A.M.E.). We found no website and no public member list of that union, so the catalogue shows no membership. In the catalogue the agency is listed on the pages women, men, kids and talent.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- Check on the agency's profile what we found about its terms, and ask what commission will be taken from your fee.
- Before you sign, ask for the contract in writing and look in it for the commission, the length of the exclusivity and the payment term. In Greece you wait several months for your fees.
- Be wary of people who write in an agency's name from personal accounts and of pressure to pay at once: these are signs of a modeling scam.
- Contracts, commission, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Greece.
