As a professional myself, when my wife and I started looking to purchase a property in Italy one of our first steps was to seek out a local professional to assist us. Alessandro Clemente exemplifies the word professional, and we couldn’t imagine working with anyone else when it comes to an Italian property transaction. He has been with us every step of the way, and he simultaneously dealt with all of the legal documents and technical details while also being able to explain everything to us (in English!). He has also been able to provide us with insight and advice on all manner of things including tax considerations, negotiation norms in Italy, different types of target properties, and different types of purchase methods. Other than loving the country, we had no connection to Italy, so we also relied on Alessandro for referrals to local accountants (for tax filings), property managers, and realtors. He even put us in touch with a foreign currency service that provided much better rates than our bank. It’s rare to find a professional that is good at what he does and is also capable of conveying things so that you feel apprised of what’s happening; the fact that he can do it in a second language makes it all the more incredible. We’ve already recommended Alessandro and his team to a close friend and we’ll definitely continue to recommend him to anyone we come across that’s looking to buy or sell a property in Italy.
