The Markets We Live In
Seven cities. One transatlantic discipline.
We do not chase geographies. We staff them. Each of the seven luxury markets below is covered by a resident licensed advisor who lives, works, and closes in that city — supported by our bilingual legal-tax desk.
Italy · Umbria
Perugia, Orvieto & Lake Trasimeno
Italy's quieter luxury: medieval hill towns, agricultural estates, and waterfront villas on the lake — increasingly favored by Rome-based HNW families.
Italy · Lombardy
Lake Como, Milan & The Italian Lakes
Waterfront belle-époque villas, Milanese attici, and pied-à-terre placements for international buyers seeking proximity to the financial capital.
Italy · Campania
The Amalfi Coast, Capri & Ravello
Cliffside villas, sea-view terraces, and the small stock of authentic heritage properties on Italy's most constrained coastline.
United States · New York
Manhattan, Brooklyn & The Hamptons
Upper Fifth and Park pre-wards, West Village townhouses, Brooklyn Heights brownstones, and East End estates — our largest U.S. desk.
United States · Florida
Miami, Miami Beach & Coral Gables
Waterfront compounds on Star and Hibiscus Islands, Coconut Grove estates, and the new wave of branded luxury towers along the bay.
United States · Colorado
Aspen, Telluride & The Rocky Mountains
Ski-in residences, contemporary mountain architecture, and legacy ranches across Colorado's most exclusive enclaves.

The Cross-Border Methodology
Five chapters from first conversation to keys in hand.
Cross-border transactions are not two deals. They are one deal — executed across two legal systems, two currencies, and two tax regimes. Our methodology is built around that single-deal premise. Average time-to-close for our transatlantic mandates: 47 days, against an industry average of 112.
-
Chapter I
Discovery & Mandate
A confidential consultation with our concierge desk — Florence or New York, in your preferred language. We confirm your mandate, target geography, budget band, and discretion profile. A signed engagement letter follows within 72 hours.
-
Chapter II
Currency, Tax & Structuring
Our in-house Italian notaio, U.S. real estate attorney, and CPA convene to advise on entity structure (Italian S.r.l., U.S. LLC, revocable trust), currency-hedging strategy, and pre-closing tax exposure on every mandate over $3M.
-
Chapter III
Sourcing & Negotiation
You receive a curated short-list drawn from our 740+ private off-market portfolio and our syndicated network — each property pre-vetted by the destination-market desk. Offers and counter-offers are managed under a single principal negotiator.
-
Chapter IV
Due Diligence & Legal Coordination
Cadastral and title searches in Italy; UCC, lien, and HOA reviews in the U.S. Our bilingual legal-tax desk reconciles the two files into one closing book. Discreet viewings, NDA-protected offer rounds, and identity-screened bidders are standard.
-
Chapter V
Closing & Post-Settlement
Coordinated notaio appointment in Italy or escrow closing in the U.S. — both desks present. Post-settlement, we provide property management introductions, residency filings where applicable, and a 12-month concierge follow-up. 97% of our clients transact with us again.
A Note on Discretion
“Privacy is not a service we add. It is the medium in which we work. We do not publish our sellers, we do not name our buyers, and we do not surface our listings on any public portal. Forty-one thousand pre-qualified names live behind our firewall; seven hundred and forty properties do not appear on Zillow, Idealista, or Rightmove. That is not a feature. It is our default.”
— Pietro Montopoli, Founder · Florence, 1986
We have handled 38 verified celebrity and royal-family transactions under NDA. We do not name them. We do not describe them. We do, however, keep their trust — most have returned for a second, a third, and sometimes a fifth acquisition.
