Welcome to Dolce Living

As a U.S.-based buyer’s agency specializing in Italian real estate, we are keenly aware of our clients’ expectations and needs surrounding an international move.

Our promise

Thorough

Home buying requires a meticulous and comprehensive approach. We ensure that every aspect of property analysis and market research is thoroughly addressed to provide you with strategic recommendations. We prioritize your needs and strive to identify the best available solution under every circumstance.

Transparent

Being informed and in control when purchasing a home is important, especially when you’re buying from across the world. We provide you with a clear and honest understanding of market dynamics, legal considerations, and cultural differences, empowering informed decision-making throughout the process.

Responsive

You shouldn’t be left guessing by real estate agents, and we know how frustrating it is to not receive timely communication in a process so important to you and your family. We consistently deliver proactive and attentive updates, ensuring that we move efficiently toward reaching your goal.

What our clients are saying

“The thing we appreciated the most is how patient and responsive the Dolce Living team was with our many questions. I like being in control, but this time I was glad to let someone else do the heavy lifting for me. The hardest part of the process was deciding on our Italian home. I can't imagine going through the stress of buying our house in Tuscany without their guidance. Worth every penny!”

"As luck would have it, I managed to find a property with the most unusual and complex Italian regulations, which could have taken the whole deal sideways. Thanks to Skylar and Lorenzo, we were able to overcome all bureaucratic obstacles, and my dream has come true."

"I spent several months trying to acquire my family’s home in Calabria. I was stalled by bureaucratic issues, but Dolce Living’s intervention put the process back on track and allowed me to finalize the transfer of ownership of the home. Now, I can rest easy knowing that the home will stay in the family. What a sigh of relief!"

"The Dolce Living team was caring and professional. I especially appreciated their help in dealing with Italian bureaucracy. They walked me through the paperwork and steps needed to begin my move to Italy. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new home in Italy."
