The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using

CAVEAT EMPTOR is Latin for "let the buyer beware". Buying real estate and property in Italy can be and is a challenge. Please note: The real estate agent, the property owner or the person showing or inspecting the property for you, need not tell you or are they obligated to inform you of any deficiency about the property. As a prospective foreign buyer, you need to hire:
- Someone you can trust to inspect the property for you and provide in writing (English or in the language of your choice), the actual condition of the property inside and out with recommendations for any additions, modifications and/ or correction to structural, electrical, heating, sewer, etc. to property and/or bring up the property to current building code. Any cost estimates in Euro for additions and modifications should accompanied this property inspection report.
- Someone to guide you through the Italian real estate maze. Based on what I have read in other forums, it is normally NOT the real estate agent.
Be sure you not only checkout the property but also the real estate agent and their respective company. Some companies in Italy and elsewhere may have web sites that will catch your eye and/or offer to take the burden out of buying property in a foreign country. It is incumbent upon you to legally buy the property and to pay the required taxes.
It should be noted that there are companies in Italy that for a "fee" will assist the foreign buyer (read non-Italian) with their real estate transaction. While this may allow a certain comfort level, be sure to checkout and verify these types of companies are legimate. You do not want your "Italian Dream House/Apartment" to become your worse nightmare.
Several of the above web sites for properties, rentals or real estate agents/companies have been mentioned in various forums on Expats In Italy or slow travel italy.
The above is only a sampling of what is available to you if you are looking to rent or buy in Italy. I am sure everyone may have a favorite real estate agent or company (Immobiliare) and to the best of my ability, I will update this blog entry with your suggested additions.
