Book a free discovery callBuying in Italy is exciting — until it isn't
Thousands of listings, no curation. You're scrolling Idealista at midnight wondering which ones are real, overpriced, or already sold.
The process is opaque. Notary fees, proposta d'acquisto, compromesso, catasto — the Italian system has its own rules.
You don't know what you don't know. Hidden costs, tax regimes (flat tax, IMU), renovation permits — mistakes here cost tens of thousands.
Local agents work for the seller. You need someone on your side — fluent in Italian, who understands the market and negotiation culture.
How it works
Your buying journey, handled end to end
Discovery call
We understand your criteria — region, budget, style, timeline — and assess whether we're the right fit. Free, 30 minutes, no commitment.
Curated shortlist
We screen hundreds of listings and off-market leads to build a shortlist of 5-10 properties that match exactly what you're looking for.
Organized viewings
We coordinate with local agents, schedule property visits over 2-3 days, and join you (in person or remotely) to ask the right questions.
Negotiation & due diligence
We negotiate the best price, verify legal status (catasto, urbanistica), and flag any red flags before you commit.
Legal & fiscal setup
We connect you with our vetted notary and tax advisor. Codice fiscale, flat tax application, bank account — all coordinated.
Signing & keys
We accompany you through the compromesso and final deed (rogito). You sign, get the keys, and pop the prosecco.

Questions
Frequently asked
Are you a real estate agency?
No. We're a buyer's advisory service. We don't represent sellers or earn commissions on sales. Our fee is fixed and transparent — we work exclusively for you.
Can I buy property in Italy as a foreigner?
Yes. EU citizens can buy freely. Non-EU citizens can buy if there's a reciprocity agreement with Italy (which covers most countries including the US, UK, Canada, Australia). We'll verify your specific case during the discovery call.
What's the flat tax regime?
Italy offers a flat tax of €100,000/year on worldwide income for new residents. If you move to Southern Italy (south of Rome), it drops to just €7,500/year for 5 years. We connect you with a specialized tax advisor to evaluate your eligibility.
What are the total buying costs?
Expect 10-12% on top of the purchase price: registration tax (2-9%), notary fees (1-2.5%), agent fees (3-4%), and our concierge fee. We'll give you a detailed cost breakdown during the discovery call.
Do I need to come to Italy for the purchase?
Ideally yes, at least for viewings and the final signing. But we can organize remote viewings with video tours, and power of attorney is possible for the signing if needed.
How long does the process take?
From search to keys, typically 3-6 months. The search phase takes 2-4 weeks, negotiation and due diligence 2-4 weeks, and the legal process (compromesso to rogito) 2-3 months.
