Property management in Italy

Owning a property in Tuscany is a dream, but one often accompanied by an incredible amount of bureaucracy and communication breakdowns. We take over these issues so you can focus on the good stuff. TurnKey™ offers you the ability to enjoy your home, or profit from your investment without the complications of the day-to-day management. Our main goal is your peace of mind and worry-free enjoyment of your home in Italy. We are not a real estate agency, our job is property management and property management only.

We speak the Italian language fluently but perhaps more importantly, we know the Italian way of doing things and how to get things done in Italy. 

We will really make your life easier…

Frequently Asked Questions for Owners

Peace of mind through maximum pleasure and minimum disruption to your life. We treat your property as if it were our own. You’ll quickly see why TurnKey™ is recognized as the partner of choice by foreign homeowners in Tuscany.

Our property management contracts span one year, but you can terminate the contract with 30 days’ notice. Our clients work with us because they appreciate our service, not because they’re contractually obligated.

All invoices we receive are placed in your secure private area on the TurnKey website. Each time we upload an invoice to your owner’s portal you are alerted by e-mail. We offer 2 options for managing all of your invoices:
– You have the option of paying these bills manually or by direct debit.
– The second option, which is part of our Premium service, gives you the possibility of depositing money quarterly, bi-annualy or annually into your bank account in Italy.  We then take care of managing the payments of all your invoices. Of course, all copies of invoices and proof of payment are also placed in your private space on the TurnKey website, to which only you have access.

First of all we hold all contractors to the same standard we have for our own home. Secondly, and importantly, we do not earn any commission from the companies we have working on your property and in fact do not continue to do business with any company or individual who offers this as for us it is a sign that they might not be completely honest or above board in other areas. While we recognize that “things are done differently in Italy” and are astute in navigating these situations, we do not compromise the integrity of our relationship with and the trust of our clients for any reason. Our only goal is to select the most competent people to carry out the work. We take great care to bring only the most qualified workers into your home.

TurnKey is not a real estate agency and we are not real estate agents, we offer property management services only. We are however familiar with real estate sales having worked as a Licensed Real Estate Agent in the U.S. prior to making the move to Italy. Some of our clients have decided to enlist our services during the property search and purchase process. In these circumstances, we can assist with putting you in touch with the right professionals you will need during this process including, but not limited to, real estate agents, notaries, lawyers, surveyors and inspectors, banks and accountants. We act as a client representative to guide you through the process providing translation and interpretation, administrative services, as well as feedback and evaluation of options. As a third party, our only objective is to advocate for you. Additionally, involving TurnKey prior to closing ensures a smooth transition into ownership in Italy.
