Taxation

How long does it take to sell a property?

The timeframe depends on the location, price, and preparation of the property. On average, luxury properties sell within 2-6 months. Professional photography, accurate appraisal, and precise positioning help expedite the sale.

Do I have to be present in Italy to sell a property?

No, we can manage the entire process remotely—from the appraisal to the closing of the contract. You can sign the documents remotely through a notary, while we take care of all the operational and legal support.

Do you only work on an exclusive basis?

We recommend the exclusive option: it allows for complete marketing management, professional photography, and the promotion of the property as a unique offering. However, we are also open to other options by prior arrangement.

What does your sales service include?

We offer a complete service: appraisal, visual preparation, marketing, negotiations, legal assistance, sales organization, and property handover. Everything is turnkey.

What taxes are paid when selling a property in Italy?

Taxation depends on various factors: the seller's residence (resident/non-resident), length of ownership, and other factors. We offer detailed advice on all tax and legal aspects before starting the sales process.
