About us
We have worked on this stretch of coast for years and we do nothing else. Knowing an area means knowing which streets catch the winter sun, which houses keep their view once the pines grow back, which plots are genuinely buildable and which only on paper.
We do not keep a long catalogue. We would rather look after a few properties properly: sellers know exactly where their sale stands, buyers get an answer from someone who has been inside the house.
We work in Italian, English and German, because half the people looking for a house here come from abroad and are entitled to read the same information in their own language.

Properties on our books
One coast, known on foot
We are not a chain with a hundred windows: we are one office on a stretch of coast you can drive in half an hour, and we have seen every house we offer.
- Every property is visited and measured before it goes in the window, and the sheet says what you can really see from the terrace.
- We handle a limited number of houses at a time: it is the only way to know what each one is like in winter.
- We work in Italian, English and German, because half the people buying here come from abroad.
- One person from the first phone call to the deed: you never start explaining again from scratch.
Few houses, properly told
A crooked photograph and three lines of description waste everybody's time: the seller's, the buyer's and ours.
- Photographs taken in the right light at the right hour, not on a phone at midday.
- Floor plans, land registry searches and the energy certificate ready before the first viewer arrives.
- Distances written in minutes on foot, not as «very central».
- What is wrong with a house we say before the viewing, not after the journey.
Four things we do not bend on
-
We say how it is
Damp, work still to do, noisy neighbours: if we know, it is written down. A house sold by hiding a fault comes back.
-
A price that holds
An inflated estimate leaves a house in the window for two years and sells it for less. We start from what houses nearby actually sold for.
-
No pressure
We do not call three times a day. We send what you need in order to decide, and then we wait for you to decide.
-
The keys are not the end
After the deed we stay the number you call about the plumber, the building or the first tenancy.
Where we work
Seven places along twenty kilometres of coast and the hills behind them. Each has a character, and each needs different advice.
Come by the office, or call us
A coffee and half an hour is enough to tell whether we can be useful. We do not ask for an exclusive in order to talk.
