Our Core Services Explained

Buyer representation

Buyer Representation

  • We will advocate for you throughout the entire process of purchasing your Italian property.
  • We will make sure you are informed and confident at every step of the journey.
  • We will represent you when interacting with sellers, listing brokers, and local authorities.
Legal review

Power of Attorney & Legal Review

If you are unable to be in Italy during the entire purchase process, you can entrust us with the ability to move the transaction forward on your behalf. You can also trust all transaction agreements, starting with the purchase offer, are drafted and reviewed by an experienced attorney.

Technical due diligence

Technical Due Diligence

The property you wish to purchase may have regulatory or structural deficiencies that are sometimes unknown to the seller. Dolce Living's due diligence team will inspect the premises and review permits to guarantee your future home was built to code and matches official records. We ensure you can move forward with your purchase with confidence.

Our Additional Services

We work with trusted local partners to support our clients with all of their needs.

Tax Support

Once you are a property owner or resident of Italy, you will have fiscal obligations, such as property taxes, waste taxes, and annual income filings. You can rest easy knowing you are supported by reputable, local CPAs.

Mortgage Financing

If Italian banks do not have the ability to properly serve you, our partner mortgage brokers will. When you purchase a sizable home or consider investing in multiple properties, financing is an option you can count on—even in Italy.

Immigration & Citizenship

Are you exploring the Digital Nomad visa, Elective Residency visa, or even the Cittadinanza? Dolce Living works closely with specialized attorneys and citizenship experts who can help you navigate the bureaucracy and save valuable time.

Renovation Management

Finding the right contractors, architects, and engineers can be daunting. Dolce Living has established a network of local professionals across most of Italy. We can support you in managing your renovations and helping you hire local experts.
