One Integrated Team, Two Countries
Our bilingual Italy based team collaborates with our USA based team - Barbara & Ray Martin, licensed real estate agents in Texas, fully-licensed real estate agencies in Italy, Notarios, Geometras, architects, engineers, contractors, and other required process participants in Italy to deliver a seamless, cross-border, American buyer experience through our ItalianSmartBuy.com™ Dream To Deed To Aftercare framework.
Barbara & Ray help prospective American buyers complete the Interest Survey & Pre-Qualification Questionnaire & Italy Region Match Quiz and co-develop their Italy Buyer Profile and the draft of the Italy Property Roadmap for Americans.
Afterwards, they conduct a formal handoff of the American buyer to our bilingual Italy based Team.
