HOUSE BUYING SERVICES ITALY
We're not in Kansas anymore...
When you decide to buy a house in Italy, we can help you through the buying process obstacle course. We have been through this process dozens of times and know the best practices for foreign buyers: buyer protections, specific requirements, documentation, and time frames from beginning to end. And even more importantly, we can help you to avoid the possible mistakes, hurdles, and costly setbacks that foreign buyers face in Italy. We perform our House Buying Services for all areas of Italy, for citizens and residents of all countries.
Our House Buying Services are especially crucial to foreign buyers as there are no true Buyers Agents in Italy. Italian real estate agents are Sales Agents, representing the Seller. They do not advise or protect or represent the Buyer. While we are not agents, we are consultants, with many years and dozens of Foreign Buying Clients under our belt. We fill the Buyer representation and protection void that Foreign Buyers face in Italy.
Buyers can rest assured that we will:
- look out for your interests
- add buyer protections to the offer - protections we learned from years of experience
- communicate and coordinate with all parties on this end
- keep the file moving forward!
With our House Buying Services, we will guide the Buyer smoothly through the intricate steps of Buying Process including:
- The offer and negotiations with Sales Agent (or Seller if a private sale), adding uber-important buyer protections - protections we learned from years of experience working for foreign buyers.
- All-In-Costs.
- Pre-Offer Geometra Inspection - if applicable. Learn more.
- All communications with and requirements of the Sales Agent.
- The sale contract aka the Proposta, or if needed a Compromesso..
- Recommending and liaising with a trusted Notaio.
- Documentation requests, submissions, and non-legal/non-official translations.
- Payments.
- Deed Signing Guidance.
- Power of Attorney Services if needed.
- Recommendations on Post-Sale resources including Utility Set-Up, Key Holders, Property Management, Project Management, Homeowner’s Insurance .
We go above and beyond to help you buy your Italian dream home!
The cost of our invaluable House Buying Service (see our rate sheet) is less than the cost of one trip to Italy. And we can save you many trips! When we looked for then bought our house, we made twelve trips to Italy and spent more than $30,000 in airfare, travel, and accommodations.

How We Can Save You Money!
With our House Buying Services, we can save you thousands of dollars in EACH of the following ways:
- Cutting down on the number of trips you need to make to Italy. We are here, on the ground, to do the fieldwork, the legwork and to liaise with the sales agents, geometras and notaios. This will save you in airline, accommodation, and other travel costs.
- Help with the bidding, negotiating and sale processes. We know the area, the comps, valuations, duration of listings, agents, etc., all which translate to the potential for meaningful savings on the price of the house.
- Knowing the process inside and out thereby avoiding mistakes, pitfalls, do-overs, and delays that can be caused by other parties.

Real Estate In PIEDMONT
In the Greater Monferrato Regions of Piedmont
Houses are insanely inexpensive in this beautiful region of Piedmont in Northern Italy. We purchased our 6,000 sqft farmhouse with additional barns, two cantinas (underground wine cellars - ours are cavernous), and eight acres of land for €170,000 (about US$189k at the time). For the median home price in a city like Nashville, you could buy here a house beyond your wildest dreams. There are even turn-key properties for sale in Italy under $100,000. We know where they are!!!
Whether you are looking to buy a move-in-ready property, a renovation project, or anything in between, we find properties of all types, prices, sizes, and conditions. We specialize in pre-1920 homes, built in the classic, historic, traditional Italian and Piemontese style. The different types and styles are signified by:
- Farmhouses and Cascinas (farmhouses with wine making and wine production areas rather than livestock), many with outbuildings, courtyards, gardens, and some with land
- Country houses - country escapes, more formal than a cascina, cultivation and wine making facilities more for leisure pursuits than livelihood
- Villas with semi-formal or formal exteriors and interiors, gardens and approaches
- Palazzi (palaces) with highly formal interiors, frescoes, domed ceilings, rows of windows
- Stone construction, stone and or traditional plaster facing
- Brick construction
- High ceilings, vaulted ceilings
- Arched entryways and transitions
- Old-wood doors, windows, moldings, and trim
- Plaster moldings
- Stone, brick, wood, terra cotta floors
- Quintessentially Italian
Location, Location, Location! Before you buy, before you start looking, research and choose a location that suits you, your lifestyle and your needs. We can't stress this enough -- the importance of choosing the right area, the right location, the right town, the right place for you to enjoy your life in Italy. We can help you in this decision. We are experts in the areas of Piedmont and Liguria.
The cost in US$
To find out what your Italian dream house will cost in US$, below are figures based on a house which sells for €200,000 (Euros).
1. Convert the sale price in Euros to US Dollars.
ex: €200,00 x 1.1 (January 2024) = US$220,000
We like Wise and XE.com for current exchange rates and all things currency exchange related...
2. If it will not be your primary residence, add approximately 16% to the sale price to cover registration taxes, agent fee, notaio, etc.
Secondary Residence Example:
$220,000 + 16% ($35,200) = US$255,200 Total
OR
3. If this will be your primary residence*, add approximately 10% to the sale price to cover registration (sales) tax, agent fee, notaio, etc.
Primary Residence Example:
US$220,000 + 10% ($22,000) = US$242.000 Total
*Bonus Note: If you have Italian residency and are buying as a primary residence, there are no annual property taxes ... ever! Learn more about Moving To Italy.
