What is Property Management?
One of the most important (and often overlooked) services that ties in with co-owning a property is Pinelli Property Management. This invaluable service means that the stresses involved with the upkeep of the property are entirely eliminated.
Not only is everything taken care of on your behalf but the costs associated with running the property are also shared, relieving you of the sole financial burden of running your dream vacation home.
Let’s examine property management in more detail and explain why property buyers enjoy this service so much.
The Challenges of Owning a Property Overseas
So, you’ve fallen in love with the ideal climate, the people, the food, and the stunning beaches and houses in the area. It is easy at this point to jump all in with your head in “vacation mode,” but now is the time to seriously ask yourself a few questions. Not only might this save you a lot of anguish in the future, but here you can begin to see why co-owning your slice of paradise might make perfect sense.
Here are the four most common reasons that property hunters abandon their dream of buying a property outright overseas.
- Frequency. How much time will you realistically visit the property, as all vacation homes need to be attended to and opened up regularly throughout the year?
- Vacant properties. Who will check on the property when you’re not there? People often buy a property in an area they’ve fallen in love with but lack local connections. This can cause the property to sit empty for long periods, raising security concerns.
- Unforeseen issues. What happens if there’s a leak or an urgent repair due to severe weather? Who will deal with this if you’re not around? Managing a property from a distance without reliable people on the ground can be extremely daunting!
- Understanding local regulations. Like any home, there are utility services and annual payments to be made, which can often prove overwhelming when you are not in the country, and more so if you don’t speak the language.
“Fractional Ownership was a really good option for us. We had some friends talking about buying property in Italy and splitting it. We looked at these properties and thought we’re going to show up and be doing yard work first thing, touch-up painting, finding people to clean. And how would you when you don’t speak Italian?” Bethany & Jim, Utah

“…It is pure luxury to simply walk in and be on holiday straight away. Our belongings are there, and all we have to do is unpack. We even have basic provisions bought for us if we request it. It is peace of mind that the property is looked after and maintained to a high standard, we know when we arrive that it will be clean and checked. Totally hassle-free for us. “ Camilla & Matthew, UK
Local Knowledge on the Ground
Considering the different people that buy, it is vital to most, if not all, to have a person on the ground to reach out to. Someone who can give you the best and hidden gems to visit. Where to eat, or what small village celebrations not to miss? Where to find the best car hire and rate. And also, importantly, knowing where you could seek medical assistance or local doctors in unforeseen emergencies? If you’re traveling alone, wouldn’t this give you complete peace of mind?
“Coming back year after year with our family or with some friends, to me, builds memories of a lifetime. I’m a property manager in Australia and have been for 10-15 years, so I had some very clear expectations on what I thought would give personalised service and perfect attention. When I arrived here, Alessio and his beautiful girlfriend, Mikka, made us really think about property management in a very different way. It wasn’t property management; it was home management. They could organize taxis for us. They give us advice about where to shop and where to go for little special places that only they know about Campagna.” Alison, Australia
The House Team is discreet but always on hand should you need anything, either before arrival or after you’re ensconced in your vacation home. And the best bit? You can simply lock up and head home without worrying about closing up the property which can often lose you the last day of your vacation!
“Full property management is a key factor in our enjoyment of Casa Tramonto. The house is always ready on our arrival, and the management team stocks the refrigerator, arranges transportation, and provides everything else we need as remote owners. The Country Manager Alessio and Property Manager Max really distinguish Pinelli from other ownership groups with their helpfulness and professionalism.” Jim, NC, USA
