How we work
Before taking on a property we come and see it, and talk it through without hurry. A valuation given over the telephone serves the person giving it, not the person selling: the wrong asking price is why a house sits on the market for two years and then sells for less than it was worth.
Every property we publish has photographs taken in the right light, floor plans, verified floor areas, the energy class and the energy performance index — Italian law requires both in the listing — and a text written in the three languages of the site.
Listings also go out to the main Italian property portals, with the same data and the same photographs. We accompany every viewing ourselves. By the time an offer is made, the paperwork has been checked: title deeds, planning and land-registry compliance, energy performance certificate.
Prepare first, publish after
Half the deals that fall through fall through on a missing document. So we do the dull part at the start, not at the end.
- Land registry search and floor plan checked against what is actually in the house.
- Energy certificate before publication, not when a buyer asks for it.
- Compliance of the services verified, and if something is missing we know what it costs to put right.
- For holiday lets: the national CIN code, safety requirements and guest reporting.
What happens, and when
-
Visit
We come and see the house, measure it and look at the papers. An hour, and it costs nothing.
-
Estimate and strategy
A written figure, based on what nearby houses actually sold for in recent months, and a decision on how to offer yours.
-
Preparation
Photographs, redrawn floor plan, text in three languages, papers in order. Five to ten days.
-
Publication
On the site and on the portals, with the same photographs and the same price everywhere.
-
Viewings
Accompanied, one at a time, with a report to the seller after each one.
-
Negotiation and deed
Offer, acceptance, preliminary contract, bank, notary. We tell you where we are without you having to ask.
All of this is in the mandate
-
Photography
Professional photographs and, where it helps, aerial shots. They stay yours even if the mandate ends.
-
Floor plan
Redrawn and dimensioned, because the cadastral one is rarely legible.
-
Text in three languages
Italian, English and German: half the people buying on this coast come from abroad.
-
Paperwork
Searches, energy certificate and compliance check, before publication.
-
Accompanied viewings
We hand the keys to nobody: we are always there at a viewing.
-
Support to the deed
From the offer to the notary, with the documents ready when they are needed.

Do I have to give you an exclusive?

Can I sell privately in the meantime?

Let us talk, with no obligation
A visit and a written estimate cost nothing and commit you to nothing.
