Why doesn the web site always identify the exact locations of properties for sale?
Italy does not have a tradition of “sole agency” or “exclusive” agreements between vendor and agent. When our local agents do find good value properties they often ask us not to advertise their exact location on our website as it is common for other agents to attempt to identify the property and approach the vendor. This neither aids prospective buyers, as interest shown in a property often encourages the vendor to increase their asking price, or indeed the vendor, as the higher price makes the property harder to sell. We will, of course, tell you the location of any property if you ask!!
