EXCELLENT Based on 107 reviews Posted on Google Clifford MusanteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moving from the US to Italy offers many challenges and complexities. The team at IREL were always responsive, and knowledgeable. I have now arrived in Italy, and submitted my paperwork for processing through the Postal Service. I could not be more happy, or be more impressed with this team. As my fellow family members go through the same process, I will encourage them to take the same, safe, effective and collaborative path as I have chosen. If there were a sixth star, I would have selected it.Posted on Google LaKeisha CharlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience working with Italian Real Estate Lawyers during my property purchase in beautiful Ceglie Messapica. From the very beginning, their team provided clarity, structure, and confidence throughout what could otherwise have been a complex process, especially as a buyer based outside of Italy. Through their Premium Package, I was able to streamline the entire journey from property search to final purchase in just under four months. The coordination, legal oversight, and proactive communication removed friction at every stage and allowed me to move forward efficiently and securely. I would especially like to recognize Ilaria, whose support was exceptional. She was consistently prompt, clear, and highly knowledgeable, and her customer service skills are truly beyond superb. She ensured I always understood both the process and my options. I was so impressed with the level of service and professionalism that, after closing, I chose to purchase a post-services contract to continue my partnership with the firm while living and working outside of Italy. I highly recommend Italian Real Estate Lawyers to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality legal support for property transactions in Italy.Posted on Google Massimo TamburrinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ho fatto da consulente tecnico per lo studio legale nella perizia di un immobile ad Arco (TN). Mi sono trovato benissimo, professionisti seri ed affidabili. Ringrazio Rossana della collaborazione.Posted on Google Matt FlintTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As Americans buying a property in Italy, there are a lot of things that we were unsure about. Using Italian Real Estate Lawyers was by far one of the best decisions we made. We were given clear and timely guidance at every step of the process. We worked with Elena, who provided exceptional service and thoughtful support from the very start to the closing of our property.Posted on Google Krista HarwickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a journey we have had navigating the purchase process for our Italian palazzo. Our journey began in 2019 when we identified the property in which we were interested. The palazzo was built in the 1700's and the owner/ architect had plans for renovating the property and dividing it into multiple flats. The 2020 pandemic prevented our ability to travel to see the property. In 2021 we visited the property and in 2022 we engaged Italian Real Estate Lawyers to represent us in the purchase process. As it was an extensive renovation process, it took several years to complete. IREL assisted us throughout the entire process, meeting with us and the sellers virtually to discuss and negotiate, all the way through to the final step of representing us at the signing of the final deed that occurred in late November. We are especially appreciative of Elena for her excellent, timely, and detailed communication throughout the endeavor. We highly recommend IREL for their professionalism and dedicated assistance to helping us achieve our dream of owning a home in Italy.Posted on Google Luigi BelluscioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Studio molto serio , professionali disponibili e competenti , si prendono cura del cliente dall’inizio alla fine . Lì consiglio vivamentePosted on Google Hernan MontenegroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This world-class firm is truly outstanding and cannot thank them enough for their excellent support and guidance in obtaining my residence permit and moving to the Amalfi Coast from abroad. They helped me with visa and tax code applications, obtaining residency permit, finding rental property, handling rental agreement, setting up utilities, and opening an Italian bank account, among others. Thanks to this amazing legal team, my experience was smooth, enjoyable, and rewarding. They were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Communication was also a highlight: it was clear, prompt, and very professional. I do not hesitate to recommend Italian Real Estate Lawyers to any person wanting to move and reside in Italy. Special thanks to Rosanna and Alexandra, who managed my case with the utmost care, dedication, and professionalism. I could not recommend them more. Truly an amazing team and service!Posted on Google Constantine DrentchevTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Buying a property abroad is never easy and especially when you are not speaking the local language, so when I decided to invest in real estate in Italy, I started looking for an experienced local law firm to facilitate the process. Can’t recommend Italian Real Estate Lawyers highly enough!! From the first email exchange I felt secure and in competent hands (thanks, Linda and Giorgia!) and the step-by-step support received until the completion of the purchase has been second to none. Prompt communication (via email and whatsapp), regular updates and driving all the processes, so that I can comfortably take the backseat and simply enjoy the whole thing :) Thank you for everything, team!Posted on Google Lilacs & LemonadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got my dream investment property in Bari, Italy, all thanks to Italian Real Estate Lawyers! As a first-time overseas real estate investor, I needed a team I could truly trust to guide me through the process. I spoke with many firms in Italy, but this one stood out from the rest. I was so lucky to work with Chiara, who advocated for me every step of the way. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market, always responsive, and guided me through what could have been an overwhelming process with empathy, proactiveness, and fierce protection of my interests. I was also impressed by how the firm ensured I was always supported, even when team members were away. Mary Ann stepped in seamlessly, keeping everything on track with zero delays or confusion, and even continued helping me after the purchase with follow-up questions about the property. I wholeheartedly recommend Italian Real Estate Lawyers to anyone looking to buy property in Italy. They’ll be my first call for any future investments and my top recommendation for family and friends dreaming of their own place in Italy!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
