Our process

1.

Schedule a complimentary call – or a few

Every story is unique, and yours is no exception. Through sharing where you are in the process and what your goals are, we can confirm we’re the service you’re looking for and help you visualize the path ahead.

2.

Create a timeline

If we have the right solution for you, we will outline a plan to file your Italian documentation, identify properties in the area of your choice, schedule showings, undertake due diligence, and walk through any additional steps based on your specific needs.

3.

Secure our support

Once you’re ready to start this journey into Italian real estate, our team will collect a deposit which is valid for a 12-month engagement. This one-time deposit goes toward a fee for helping you secure your Italian property, paid at closing.

4.

Procure Italian documents and power of attorney

We will make sure you have the necessary documents for your purchase, starting with the Codice Fiscale. We will also set up a Power of Attorney with a local expert so you can complete your purchase even from abroad.

5.

Let us do the rest

Over the course of these 12 months, we will guide you through each step of the process. From choosing a home to ensuring you have electricity, we’re here for it all. We will liaise with various local professionals, manage the due diligence process, and negotiate the purchase contract on your behalf. You can be assured your purchase is being managed professionally, giving you the freedom to embark on your Italian chapter with confidence.

Budgeting and documentation

By drafting a budget, our clients can understand all the implications of a real estate investment in Italy. We also help clients register with the Italian Tax Authority (Agenzia delle Entrate) and obtain an Italian Tax ID (Codice Fiscale), which is required to purchase a home.

Power of attorney

By entrusting a local expert with the ability to move the transaction forward on your behalf, you will be able to take ownership of your dream home even from abroad. This is often a necessary step as most of our clients are unable to remain in Italy during the months-long purchase process.

Home search

Your home search is completely customizable in terms of how involved you would like to be. You may come to us with your heart set on a specific region and a list of potential properties, or you may need guidance in choosing an area that fits your lifestyle. We can help you uncover listings and find the perfect home in your desired location.

Personalized outreach

We will handle communications with local listing brokers, collect all the information you need, and organize your property visits—all while providing unbiased insight. You won’t have to worry about language barriers, local knowledge, or technical terms. Our team of Italian and American real estate professionals brings both cultural sensibility and skill to advocate for your interests.

Property due diligence

The property you wish to acquire may have regulatory or structural deficiencies that are sometimes unknown to the seller. Dolce Living works with local experts to guarantee your future home was built up to code, is structurally sound, and matches official records. We ensure you can move forward with your purchase with peace of mind.

Purchase negotiation

Once you’ve decided on the perfect property, we will spearhead negotiations with the seller and their brokers. Our goal is to protect your interests while ensuring all parties to the transaction are treated fairly.

Turnkey services

You have the keys—now you need to turn on the lights. You will need to set up utilities, internet connection, water—you name it, and we will be there to assist you to ensure your Italian home is move-in ready before you can plan your next vacation.

Post-purchase services

Dolce Living is available to assist you as you settle into your new Italian life. We can provide additional services, such as filing your income and real estate taxes, liaising with property managers, and ensuring you remain compliant with local and national regulations while owning your property in Italy.
