How This Works

The Advisory

Peter Tumbas works directly with a small number of American buyers pursuing property in Italy each year. This is not a listing service. It is a structured advisory process built around one principle: you should understand exactly what you are buying, why, and what it costs — before you commit to anything.

The Starting Point

How Peter Works with Buyers

Every engagement begins the same way: a private inquiry form, followed by a direct conversation. From there, the process takes one of three shapes depending on where you are in your decision cycle.

Level One

Research & Orientation

For buyers in the early research phase. Discovery call, written market brief, honest assessment of fit, referral to vetted Italian attorney. No obligation to proceed.

Level Two

Structured Advisory

For buyers with a defined target region and timeline. Full tax programme analysis, municipality shortlist, introduction to vetted local Italian agent and English-speaking Italian tax attorney, pre-trip property brief.

Level Three

Full Transaction Support

For buyers who have identified a property or are within 60 days of making an offer. All Level Two deliverables plus offer structuring, compromesso review coordination, transfer tax optimisation, utility setup, and post-closing tax timeline briefing.

On fees: Peter's advisory compensation is structured as a referral fee arrangement with vetted local Italian agents on completed transactions. No upfront retainer fees at Level One or Two. No placement fees from developers. No commercial relationships with any property portal.
