Sell Your Property in Italy
From valuation to the notary appointment: marketed internationally, in three languages, one point of contact. I take on a select number of listings, usually on an exclusive basis.
Four Things That Matter When Selling in Tuscany
Buyer Reach
Buyers at this level are international, and German-speaking Europe is both the deepest source of demand and where my own network is strongest. I reach them on international portals and through direct introductions.
Discreet or Public
I market openly on portals and social media, or confidentially through the network. In a discreet sale the property goes to selected buyers, with no public listing.
Price and Comparables
A country house in Chianti Classico has different reference prices than one in the Maremma or the Val d'Orcia. I price from transaction data on comparable properties in the local market.
The asking price is the most important decision in a sale. I base it on actual closings of comparable properties, documented and verifiable.
How the Sale Works
- 01
Valuation
I analyse the property, the location and the local market. The offer price is based on transaction data from comparable properties and documented.
- 02
Strategy
Open or discreet, regional or international: I set the channels, the target buyers and the schedule.
- 03
Marketing
I produce photography, floor plan and a brochure in three languages, and place on international portals and through my own network. In a discreet sale, I reach out to pre-qualified buyers directly.
- 04
Viewings
I run the viewings on site and give you feedback after each one, including the buyer's reaction to the property.
- 05
Completion
I handle the negotiation and preliminary contract, attend the notary appointment with you, and see the sale through to completion and registration of title.
Questions About Selling
How long does a sale in Tuscany take?
Three to twelve months. The decisive factor is the asking price. Priced realistically, a property usually sells within the first six months; pricing too high at the outset prolongs the process and weakens your negotiating position.
What costs are involved in a sale?
Agency commission is 4 percent plus VAT. On top of that come the technical documentation, the energy certificate and the surveyor's planning-compliance check. I go through every item with you before marketing begins.
Do I need to be present for viewings?
No. I run the viewings myself and report back to you afterwards.
Can my property be sold discreetly?
Yes. Marketing then runs through the network, with no public listings.
