Our Step-by-Step Service
Ensure you are guided with confidence and security through every stage of the process
Initial Analysis & Budget Definition
We start by understanding your needs and finances, ensuring your expectations match the local market. We help set a realistic budget, giving you clarity and control from the start.
Bureaucratic Procedures & Property Search
Navigating Italian bureaucracy can be complex. We handle all legal and administrative procedures, including a request for a tax code and the opening of a bank account in Italy.
This includes
- Drafting offer letters to liaising with notaries
- Navigating tax implications
- Oversee the entire transaction to safeguard your interests.
Property Search and Selection
Our team finds and presents properties that match your criteria, saving you time and effort. It starts with an exchange of emails with links to properties to identify the client's preferences and move closer to your dream home. Tour visits can be conducted in person (up to 5 tours per day) or virtually.
Offer and Purchase
After identifying the property, the paperwork is checked before making the purchase offer. Then, accompany the client to the notary's office for the deed of sale.
Optional: Property management service
Our support continues after your purchase, assisting with practicalities such as utilities, maintenance, and local services, so you can enjoy your new Italian home with peace of mind.
This includes
- Attending condominium meetings, crucial for staying informed about building affairs and participating in decision-making processes.
- Regular flat inspections, usually carried out 1-2 times monthly
- Management of incoming mail, also a key responsibility.

Why do I have to pay two agents when buying a home in Italy?
In many countries, it is common to have two real estate agents—one for the seller and one for the buyer—operating in a system where only the seller pays.
In Italy, however, the system works differently. The buyer almost always pays a commission, while the seller sometimes does, depending on the agreement they have with their agent. This commission is not shared with a separate property finder.
For this reason, our property finding service is charged separately. Our clients consistently tell us that the guidance, support, and expertise we provide make the process smooth and worry-free. You can see their satisfaction in our Google reviews, and many of our clients even refer friends and family to us. In short, while there is a cost, the peace of mind and professional support we provide make it truly worth it.
Besides the property price, what other costs should I expect when buying in Italy?
Costs vary depending on the property and purchase type, but here is an indicative breakdown for buying an apartment priced around €250,000:
- Property finding service: ~3% of the purchase price (~€7,500).
- Seller’s agency commission: 4% + 21% VAT (~€12,100).
- Taxes:
- Best Case: Registration tax 9% of the cadastral value (~€11,700 if the cadastral value is €130,000).
- Worst Case: VAT 10% on the full purchase price (~€25,000 for a new apartment from a company).
- Miscellaneous taxes: ~€1,000.
- Notary fees: €3,000–€4,000 depending on complexity.
Estimated Total Costs:
- Best Case: ~€35,300 (registration tax on cadastral value, lower notary fees).
- Worst Case: ~€49,600 (VAT 10% on full price, higher notary fees).
These are approximate costs to help you budget your purchase. Our property finding service will guide you through each step, ensuring clarity, peace of mind, and no surprises, so you can fully enjoy your home purchase in Italy.
⚠️ These figures are intended to give a general idea of costs only. Actual amounts will vary depending on each property and individual circumstances. Every purchase should be evaluated case by case.
