Selling a home in Sanremo.

Selling a home in Italy involves a few steps that differ from other countries. This guide explains how it works in Sanremo and on the Riviera dei Fiori, so you can sell with confidence — even from abroad.

1. The right price, from real sold data

Everything starts with the asking price. We build it on real sold comparables in your area, not on hopes. See current figures on the Sanremo prices page. In our sales the final price matches the asking price at the median, and roughly two in three homes sell at or above asking.

2. Presentation: home staging and photography

On every property we do home staging, professional photography and a dedicated website. For buyers who decide from abroad, presentation is what turns a listing into viewings.

3. The open house

Our open house brings qualified buyers together on the same day — it creates comparison and speeds decisions, often closing at or above asking.

4. Documents and taxes

You will need the deed of provenance, compliant cadastral plans, building titles, the energy certificate (APE) and, for flats, condominium papers. Capital-gains tax may apply if you sell within five years at a profit, with exceptions. Tax and notarial matters are confirmed by your notaio and accountant; we coordinate the technical checks.

5. Selling from abroad

Many owners here live elsewhere. We handle the sale remotely when needed and follow it end to end, with one contact. From our office in Sanremo we cover the whole Riviera dei Fiori.
