Due to the location of the venue, the positions of the homes we will view, and the lack of public transport, it’s essential that you rent a car for this event.

❌ You believe that Jim on YouTube and Karen on Facebook know better than the qualified experts
Buying and renovating property in Italy involves navigating complex rules and laws. Many online videos simplify this process, but the reality is much more complicated and the consequences costly. Having experts on your side is essential to ensure compliance and a smooth experience.

❌ You prefer touristy towns where everyone speaks your language
Le Marche offers an authentic Italian experience where little English is spoken, there are no traffic jams and few tourist buses. If full immersion isn’t your thing, you might prefer a busier region.
