Ciao a tutti! This is Georgette, your

Hi. I bought last year but basically hassle free. Its the things after they dont tell you about.

We would love to hear that too! Honestly we just want to know how it really is for home buyers. If you feel up to it, email us!

What things Duece, go on?

Almost two years ago, we wanted to purchase a house in Italy. We found one and began the process to purchase. However, after we had signed the compremesso, earthquakes hit Le Marche where the house was. After visiting, it became clear that the contract should be cancelled.
I have a lot of information I can share with others as well as a great book for reference and thought.

We woild love to hear from you... can you email us?

Yes, I just recently closed on the purchase of a little apartment in the province of Perugia. It was an interesting experience for sure! I'd be interested to share my experiences.

We would love to hear your experience, please do email us when you have the chance.

Hi Georgette, Would love to help out if you still need info! We have TONS of property searching stories!! Let me know if you still need them :)Take care,Liz

Ciao Liz! We would love to hear them! Can you email my colleague silvia at silvia@italymagazine.com?

We recently bought a house in Emilia Romagna dealing direct with the owners- no agent involved. It was fairly smooth although transferring the utilities to our name seems to be a challenge!

We have not completed a transaction yet, but are in the process of purchasing a home in Piemonte. We have agreed on a price but have not signed the Preliminary Purchase Contract yet. We are United States citizens and this is our first and probably only international real estate transaction. We have learned a great deal during this process which started in earnest in October, 2019 with a week long house hunting trip to the area.
I would be happy to share our experiences to date.

Where in the Piedmont are you buying? I bought there three years ago. ?

Vigliano D’asti. Where did you buy? Are you living there?

I bought my apartment in Ivrea. My family is from a small mountain town about 15 minutes from there and I've been researching my family history in that region for 35 years.

I don't live there full time. My goal is to visit for long weekends once a month, but lately I've been several times a year.

Are you living in your place full time?

I went house shopping over a long weekend in January of 2017....and then worked to purchase a property....all connected to my dual citizenship and genealogy research I have worked on for about 35 years. I'd be happy to share my story. I bought in the Piemonte region.
