White-glove real estate, investment, and relocation services for international clients looking to buy property, invest, relocate, or build a life in Italy.
Italy, made personal
Your Trusted Partner in Italy
Buying property or relocating internationally can be exciting, but navigating an unfamiliar system, language, culture, and network of professionals can quickly become complicated.
Arya Shoaee’s practice was created to make that experience easier.
From the first conversation to receiving the keys and settling into your new home, Arya provides personalized guidance and coordination throughout your journey.
We help international clients navigate real estate opportunities and relocation in Italy through one personalized, coordinated experience.
Whether you’re searching for a villa overlooking Lake Como, a family home near Lake Maggiore, an apartment in Florence, an investment property, or a place to begin your next chapter, our role is to understand exactly what you’re trying to accomplish and help put the right people and resources around you.
Instead of navigating Italy alone, you have someone on your side who understands both Italy and the international buyer’s perspective.

Navigating the Process
Clients purchasing property or relocating to Italy may also need assistance understanding residency, investment, immigration, taxation, or cross-border documentation.
We help clients understand the overall process and coordinate with qualified Italian attorneys, immigration professionals, commercialisti, notaries, and other specialists when professional advice is required.
Depending on your circumstances, this may involve coordination related to:
- Investor Visa for Italy
- Elective Residence Visa
- Digital Nomad and Remote Worker pathways
- Other residency options
- Tax residency considerations
- Cross-border documentation
- Company or investment structures
- Property ownership considerations
- Notarial matters
Our role is to help keep the process organized and connected while ensuring specialized matters are handled by the appropriate professionals.
The Arya Shoaee Difference
Finding the Property Is Only the Beginning.
Traditional property searches often end when a buyer finds a home. Our relationship doesn’t.
International buyers frequently need help with far more than property listings.
Who reviews the documents? Who coordinates with the notary? Who helps when you’re thousands of miles away? Who connects you with a surveyor, attorney, accountant, contractor, banker, translator, or property manager? Who helps you understand what happens after closing?
That’s where Arya comes in. Our goal is to become your trusted point of contact throughout the journey.
The Process
1. Discover
We begin with a private consultation to understand your goals, lifestyle, budget, preferred areas, timeline, and long-term plans.
2. Search
We build a focused property strategy and work with our local network to identify opportunities that fit your criteria.
3. Purchase
We help coordinate negotiations, documentation, due diligence, professionals, and the steps leading toward closing.
4. Relocate
If you’re moving to Italy, we help coordinate the practical and administrative details surrounding your relocation.
5. Settle In
Our relationship doesn’t have to end when you receive the keys. We can continue assisting with the people, services, and resources necessary to make Italy feel like home.
Success Story
Turning the Dream of a Lake Como Villa Into Reality
One recent client came to us with a dream many people share: owning a beautiful home on Lake Como.
What began as a property search became a much larger international buying journey.
We assisted throughout the process of identifying and purchasing a villa in Bellagio, helping coordinate the different people and steps involved in an Italian real estate transaction while the buyer was based abroad.
The experience represents exactly why Arya does this work. International buyers don’t simply need access to property listings. They need someone who understands what they’re trying to accomplish and who can help connect the many moving pieces between discovering a property and successfully owning it.
Today, that dream is becoming a home in Bellagio.
Why Work With Arya
