Investment advice

A comparison of the areas: Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo, Porto Rafael, the bays of Cala di Volpe and Pevero, with the character and prices of each.

An assessment of the home you are considering: location, sea access, views, condition and permits. The costs of a property by the sea, from maintenance to staff. And, if you want to let it, during which months and what it can return.

It begins with a conversation, in Porto Cervo or remotely, about what you are looking for and your timeframe. The agency suggests homes to view, whether listed or off-market, and joins you on viewings.

For each home that interests you, Barbara gives you her opinion, with the facts that support it and those that are missing. If you decide to buy, the agency handles negotiations and guides you through to completion.

The advice focuses on the property. Financing and the tax structure for the purchase are decided with your advisor, or with a trusted professional through the agency.

No one can promise a return: the agency shows you the figures it has, and tells you which ones it does not. A home that earns well in August may sit empty in June, and the calculation is made across the year. A share of the homes for sale is unlisted, and shown after an initial meeting.
