Can Americans really buy homes in Italy?

Yes, Americans are indeed eligible to buy homes in Italy, thanks to reciprocal treaties between Italy and various countries, including the United States. These agreements allow Americans to purchase real estate in Italy just as Italians can own property in the U.S.

Is buying a home in Italy difficult?

While buying a home in Italy can present challenges, particularly due to the differences in legal and real estate processes compared to the U.S., selecting the right real estate agency can make a significant difference. Our team, fluent in English and specialized in assisting foreigners, simplifies these complexities, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.

Can I secure a loan for buying a home in Italy?

Absolutely! Acquiring a loan for a home purchase in Italy requires setting up an Italian bank account, a process we gladly assist with. Typically, American buyers are asked to make a 50% down payment, after which a loan can cover the remainder.

Why is pre-screening and qualification required?

Our pre-screening and qualification ensure that both your and our time is invested effectively. This initial step confirms you have the necessary financial resources for a home purchase, setting a solid foundation for a successful property acquisition journey.

What is the process for buying a home in Italy?

The home-buying process includes several key steps, from obtaining a 'Codice Fiscale' (a mandatory tax code for transactions) to opening an Italian bank account, making a formal offer, and navigating through legal contracts to finalize the purchase. Our team supports you at every stage, ensuring a seamless transition to Italian property ownership.

Can I relocate to Italy?

As an American, you can spend up to six months per year in Italy. For those wishing to establish Italy as their primary residence, a series of steps including securing an Italian Elective Residence Visa and registering with local authorities are necessary. Our team can guide you through these requirements to make your dream of living in Italy a reality.
