How I work

White-glove, and accountable.

1
White-glove service

One point of contact — me. Discreet, unhurried, and entirely yours from the first call to the final signature.

2
A family affair

A small, family-run office. To us you are a name and a story, never a lead in a funnel.

3
A trusted network

Notaries, lawyers, architects and surveyors I have worked with for years — already on your side.

The advisor

One person, accountable end to end.

I'm Giuseppe Rinaudo — for years I have worked with people from abroad, providing the services they need to live in this beautiful country.

Buying a home abroad is a defining step for a family: it shapes the present and the future of everyone involved. That's why I saw the need for a different kind of service — clear scopes, fixed fees, and a single point of contact who speaks your language and answers his own phone.

My fee is a flat 3% commission — no hidden costs, no surprises. Remember that in Italy VAT ("IVA") at 22% applies where relevant, so it's worth planning for from day one.
