I came to Piemonte to explore the possibility of moving. Prior to coming to Italy, I had interviewed a couple of house hunters. Although it was helpful that they spoke English, their services stopped somewhere crucial. Before I spent time falling in love with a gorgeous Italian home, I knew it was important to understand the area. No one was willing to show me around, there was no such service, I thought. Then I found Richard.

He arranged something beyond my vision. He took me on an experiential tour in his convertible Mercedes. In one day, I got to see gorgeous villages, understand the history of the region and the different areas, I got a good feel for each one, something I never would have achieved alone. We stopped and smelled the flowers.. literally. He educated me about each area over lunch, over coffee breaks, walks, photoshoots, wine tasting, farmer’s markets, connecting with locals.. I got to feel what it would feel like living in Italy.

Time spent exploring the areas with Richard were fun, memorable, effective and efficient yet easy and inflow. There is no way I could have gathered what I needed to via video, over the phone or doing it alone. I really appreciated his generosity in time and vast knowledge of history, culture and areas.

If you are in the process of moving or buying a house in Italy, you owe it to yourself to have Richard guide you.

The best part of meeting Richard is that I have gained a dear friend. Someone I can count on.
