Piero Lorenzo — california broker helping Americans buy home

 With over 24 years of experience in real estate—13 years in Florence and the past 11 years in California, working domestically and internationally--​ I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. This dual expertise enables me to effectively navigate the nuances of both markets, ensuring a smooth and well-informed investment journey for you. 

 Born and raised in the beautiful Tropea, Calabria, I spent 42 years living in Italy before moving to the United States (21 in gorgeous Florence). My deep-rooted understanding of Italian culture, customs, and real estate dynamics allows me to provide insights that local agents may overlook. I also maintain a strong connection with Italy by visiting at least twice a year, keeping me updated on current trends and developments. 

 Having dual citizenship and having lived in the two countries, I have an advanced perspective on the intricacies of American and Italian cultures. This insight is invaluable when guiding you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported at every step. 

 While many local agents have a limited pool of properties, I can access nearly every listing across Italy. This broad reach means you can discover options that perfectly match your needs and desires, helping you find that dream home. 

 I’ve developed a robust model that ensures smooth and secure transactions from the USA to Italy. My approach minimizes stress and maximizes efficiency, making purchasing your ideal property straightforward without the hassle often associated with international real estate transactions. 

 I take pride in responding quickly to your questions and requests. You can count on my availability whenever you need assistance, unlike some local Italian realtors, who might not be as accessible or attentive 

 Being based in California allows you to verify who I am easily and my track record. This local presence adds an essential layer of trust and peace of mind while you explore your options. 

I've built a solid educational foundation, studying Economics at the University of Florence, and earning a Magna Cum Laude Associate degree in Business Administration from the College of San Mateo. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Economics at San Jose State University. Also, I obtained my Italian real estate license in 2002 and my California licenses (salesperson and broker) in 2015 and 2017, further enhancing my ability to support you in making informed investment choices. 

 Partnering with me can actually save you money! Unlike many local Italian realtors, I provide a more budget-friendly option without VAT and with additional financial advantages. Remember that, unlike in the US, buyers and sellers pay agent commissions in Italy. 

 You can empower my brother, a legal consultant in Italy, with the power of attorney, so you won’t have to make multiple trips for closing. This dramatically simplifies the process for busy American buyers while ensuring that a dedicated lawyer protects your interests. 

 I can provide guidance on everything from exchange rates and home insurance to property management and accounting. I aim to save you both time and money throughout the buying process.  

 My blend of experience, knowledge, and cultural understanding makes me stand out in the real estate field. You won’t easily find someone with my background, education, and commitment to helping American buyers in the Italian market.
