Customized research for buyers

From 1979, Casaitalia selects for its clients quality properties in the best Italian location.

Which agency to choose?
For the research of your house in Italy you probably can connect directly through the Internet or by browsing magazines and contacting more estate agents.
This is normal and is the first step but our suggestion is to identify a single contact point to rely on that is organized to best assist you from the beginning of the research until the public act and beyond.

Select and coordinate: need help?
Maybe you have already realized that not all Italian agencies are organized with foreign language personnel, an essential element for setting the research and for the conduct of negotiations.
Probably the material and information you received are uneven, sometimes very different from agency to Agency, sometimes limited or incomplete with the possibility of organizing visits without knowing exactly what you're going to see.
You may receive the same property by two different agencies, but presented in such a way that you will not realize it until the day of the visit.
There are also important elements difficult to assess just through photos and descriptions on the internet (the legal aspect, urban etc...)
In short, the risk of wasting time is high, and the same contact and coordination with the various agencies can be quite stressful.
Maybe someone can do this in your place and leave to you the most important part: the pleasure of choosing between already selected properties.

"Property finder" service: single interlocutor, more benefits, less stress

With the "Property finder" service you can instruct Casaitalia as your exclusive agent to search for you the most valuable real estate on the Italian territory, even through other colleagues and agencies.

The service Casaitalia step by step

Consultants, not just sellers

Each sale is the natural consequence of a service and a job well done.
For this our only goal is to attend our customers.

We are here to help
It is not important whether the property you are looking for is already among those in our portfolio or not, what interests us is to help you find the right one activating if necessary through a custom search, at no additional cost to you.

Listen, listen, listen
The first phase of our work is to offer real estate but listen carefully to your needs.
An essential prerequisite for defining the terms of the research and be able to point out the most righteous properties.

• What pushes you to buy in Italy?
• What are the two or three requirements that the property must possess?

What items must be absolutely absent?

And you, do you know what you want?
First of all ask yourself these same questions.
Maybe you think of a country house, maybe you want a swimming pool, and, why not, a vineyard, an outbuilding...
Rarely, you will find a property that is already perfect because every home is different, as every person.
You may find the right property and lose it because it doesn't meet secondary requirements, perhaps easily implementable.

Primary and secondary requirements
There are features such as geographical location, the hilly position, orientation, etc. You cannot change. These are some of the basic elements to be taken in consideration along with other purely subjective and personal factors.
Other features such as an annex, a vineyard, a swimming pool, they can almost always be added later, or modified, such as interior finishes, the color of the walls, a bathroom or a kitchen.
Become aware and distinguish them can help you save a lot of time and to focus on the really important research conditions. Once you find the property that meet your needs, you can relax and leave room for the emotional part of the purchase, an essential element that is sometimes confused in an attempt to rationalize and take into account the smallest details if placed on the same level.

We've already done most of the work ... before you know
In over thirty years of experience, we have identified some of the key features, normally required by our customers, and we have refined the search parameters on which we base the selection of real estate to be acquired.

Only quality real estate
Casaitalia manages only a small part of the properties that are offered for sale on a daily basis. Average two on ten.
Acquisition time is already a strict selection process to ensure the quality demanded by our customers.

That’s how we select our properties
These are the parameters to which give importance in the acquisition phase:

• private but not isolated location
• within 5-10 minutes from the nearest village/city
• half an hour from a bigger city
• hillside location with panoramic views
• environment undamaged
• well connected to the main road network
• between 30 and 90 minutes from an airport
• character and original materials
• quality finishes
• historical or, conversely, very modern details.

We do not manage these properties!
We do not manage properties that:

• are too close to expressways that bring loud noise
• have high-voltage pylons in immediate vicinity to the border with the properties
• look out onto very close industrial areas
• are in the vicinity of establishments or farms that can bring odors
• are very close to other degraded buildings
• show serious abuse is not curable such as to compromise the use of the property
• present serious legal issues.

Let's start: we introduce you to the first selection
After the first interim phase, crucial to clarify and define major parameters for the purposes of research, your Casaitalia consultant will conduct an initial selection of properties to offer.

Your feedback
Your feedback is very important to understand if we are on the right track: if between the proposed houses there were some that you are not interested, obviously this shows discriminating elements of which we had not discussed and is an excellent opportunity to identify and improve any subsequent selections.

If no property corresponds to my criteria?
In this case we will activate an ad hoc research, through colleagues inside and outside of our network, and we'll send you an email with the proposals as they become available.

Visit to the properties
Have you identified interesting properties to be explored with a visit?
Well, according to your indications of the day's date and place of departure, we will arrange the most convenient route. One of our consultants will assist you setting the place of meeting and accompanying you personally at any visit.

Better less but right
Maybe you have already visited other properties and sometimes you lost time to visit properties that you had received few details that did not correspond to the characteristics required or pictures viewed.
For this first visits we always provide full documentation to properly evaluate every property: description, wide photo shoot, often including the floor plans.
We prefer to show you only a strickt selection of suitable properties: time is precious and we respect it.

And if you find the right property?
If you liked one of the properties and want to make an offer, Casaitalia will complete a purchase proposal with every detail, also translated in your language.

Congratulations, the proposal has been accepted!
If your proposal is accepted by the seller, we will cover the mandatory registration and, if you're not Italian citizen, we will also obtaining a tax number for you.
We will assist until the public Act, to obtain the necessary documentation and transmitting them to the notary you chose.
If you do not have a notary, we can indicate one.

Once you have bought your property, we will help you in handling all the paperwork relating to the transfer of contracts for utilities (electricity, gas, water, etc...).
