From our initial contact through to successful purchase completion six months later, we found that Lisa provided us with an informed, supportive and professional Italian real estate buying service. My wife and I felt that we were fully involved throughout the unfamiliar Italian property buying process.
Read moreObtaining our codice fiscale and opening an Italian bank account were the initial bureaucratic challenges Lisa guided us through. Next was the introduction to the services of a Geometra and a Notaio, two professions whose input is essential when buying a property in Italy but unfamiliar to us from the UK. More recognisable, however, and not unlike the process at home, were the bursts of activity followed by sustained periods when nothing seemed to be happening; Lisa was always available to reassure us by email or phone that all was on track and to advise us when the next stage payment was due or where our signature was required on official paperwork. Our confidence in Lisa’s abilities, administrative and language skills was evidenced by us giving her short-term power of attorney to act on our behalf at the Notary’s office at the point of purchase completion and exchange of property documents. Lake Garda Real Estate provided us with a professional, honest and engaged real estate service and one that we would unhesitatingly recommend. Il servizio completo!
For quite some time we have had the desire to buy a flat at Lake Garda, and in April 2012 it got serious. In our internet search we found the website of Lisa Webb and Mauro Bellini with the beautiful properties they offer at the lake. From the first contact by email and the first telephone call on, we have been in the very best hands. Lisa took care of everything from the very beginning and assisted us in every aspect possible

Wir haben uns im Mai 2012 zum Erwerb einer Neubau Immobilie in Toscolano-Maderno entschlossen. Mit der ersten Besichtigung des Grundstücks hatten wir im Gespräch einen so guten Eindruck erhalten, dass wir spontan dem Kauf zugesagt haben. Während der Bauphase wurden wir immer mit Fotos und aktuellen Informationen über den Baufortschritt auf dem Laufenden gehalten. Lisa organisierte Termine mit dem Fliesenhändler, dem Sanitärfachgeschäft, dem Einrichtungshaus, wo wir alle persönlichen Wünsche realisieren lassen konnten. Immer hatte Lisa ein offenes Ohr für unsere Wünsche und Bedürfnisse.
Lisas Anliegen ist nicht nur das Vermitteln einer Immobilie, sondern auch die Betreuung der neuen Eigentümer bis zum Bezug der Wohnung. Ihr Engagement und Ihre Hilfsbereitschaft sind unübertroffen.
Letztendlich haben wir nicht nur einen kompetenten Makler gefunden, sondern auch mit Lisa und Mauro Freunde gefunden.
Herzlichen Dank von Monika und Kurt aus München.

If you are considering the idea of purchasing a holiday house on Lake Garda, then contact Mrs Lisa Webb and Mr Mauro Bellini for support. With their help you can be sure you'll face no problem whatsoever concerning the purchase of a real estate on Lake Garda.
From the first appointment through to taking care of the necessary formalities, and organising everything, down to every little detail, Lisa is the perfect partner.
We decided to buy a holiday house in Toscolano Maderno in May 2012. During our first visit there we got such a good impression that we decided to buy it right away. During the building works we were kept updated on a regular basis and received always pictures of how our apartment was developing. Lisa arranged meetings with the tile store, and the house and bathroom furniture shop so that every personal and customized wish of ours could come true. She was always very attentive to our needs and wishes.
Her task is not only to sell a property but also to accompany the new owner in every single step of the process until full ownership of the apartment. Her helpfulness, expertise and her commitment is second to none.
In Lisa and Mauro we did not only find two very knowledgeable brokers but also two new friends. We really appreciated that.
Thank you so much by Monika and Kurt from Munich
Northern Italy, with its enchanting lakes, is one of the best places ever for a very relaxing holiday. That's the reason why we had been considering the idea of purchasing a property with pool in that area for a while. Actually, we had been looking for it for over two years with very little success until we came across Lisa and Mauro.Thanks to their help we could find the right apartment for us, in an area which completely meets our needs.

They always responded very quickly to all our enquiries and their answers and advice made things so much easier for us. With their help we could take all the necessary steps to the final purchase act successfully, despite that fact that we don't speak Italian.

Für uns ist der Norden Italiens mit seinen Seen einer der schönsten Plätze, um Urlaub mit hohem Erholungswert zu machen. Deshalb reifte über Jahre die Idee, dort ein Apartment in einer kleinen Anlage mit Pool zu erwerben. Wir suchten über 2 Jahre hinweg ohne nennenswerten Erfolg, bis wir schließlich mit Hilfe von Lisa und Mauro ein genau zu uns passendes Objekt in bester Lage finden konnten. Immer wurde wir in der Folge professionell unterstützt, sowohl bei rechtlichen wir auch kaufmännischen Fragen. Die Antwortzeiten waren kurz und die Kommunikation unkompliziert, so dass wir jede Klippe bis zum Kaufabschluss, auch ohne italienische Sprachkenntnisse, erfolgreich meistern konnten.
From our initial email enquiry to the signing of the contract Lisa Webb has been a great help to us and made the process of buying our ideal apartment quite straight forward.
Read moreWe first visited Lake Garda for our initial viewing trip in February; in May we signed the contract and in June we had our first holiday in our new apartment, which lived up to all our expectations. The professional service Lisa provided included arranging the viewings, negotiation with the seller, liaison with the notary and translator together with general advice on how the buying process works in Italy.
Garda is a great area with a fantastic range of activities from watersports to hill walking, sun bathing and shopping, so we are looking forward to many more trips.
Thanks again Lisa.
Many thanks Lisa for all your advice and support over the last two years, firstly in helping us to find a beautiful lake view property to suit our needs for both investment and family use, but probably more importantly, using your local knowledge and contacts to ensure that we completed on the unit, and got it rented out in less than 3 months from start to finish. No mean feat in Italy!!
Read moreYour professionalism and efficiency gives us the confidence be able to relax in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of. We never thought this would have been achievable, all whilst being based in Australia.
We hope to see you again soon!
I have found Lisa to to be proactive, informative, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. As a Geologist I travel extensively for work, so I was keen to find an Real Estate Agent in Italy that would be able to provide me with both rental and relocation services.

Her active presence through the whole process has been very comforting for us, the assistance that she has rendered after we moved in is fantastic and goes far beyond what we could ever imagine or expect.
