Never contact them. They do not allow you to unsubscribe. All I did was enquire about a property, now I get an email a day and none of their unsubscribe links work

Excellent service. We have been looking for a house in Italy for a long time and have been supported by Filippo Cori from Great Estate. We have experienced real empathy and flexibility in the process. We give Filippo Cori the warmest recommendations. Thanks!

Today I received some interested feedback of one of the real estate agents, it is a confirmation on my first review how Great Estate communicates with there customers.
My question:
Good morning Filippo any updates about the unsolved issues and outstanding payments, repair swimming pool etc. We will come to Umbria in December for 3 weeks. We will visit other properties during our stay in Italy 🇮🇹 regards.

Answer agent Great Estate:
The proprietor will prefer to wait all his life instead of selling to you. To cut a long story short: if you think we can look for alternatives I'm available to work with you in the "standard" way. this means that our commission (4%) is clearly mentioned in case of offer and not "within the price". If this is shareable with you then we can proceed, Otherwise, it is better for everyone to continue on their own way.

My respons:
Hello Filippo, I think it is better to be professional than making unprofessional statements. Which is only a conformation on my earlier review. My questions were meant sincerely, because we are still seriously interested. Regards

The negative and brutal respons goes on and on in the same improper way. It is almost unbelievable that these people can represent a company as Great Estate.

One thing is certain at Great Estate for 4% commission you will certainly be treated unfriendly.

At the recommendation of Italian friends, my wife and I commissioned Great Estate to help us purchase a country property in Umbria, that was being sold through a different real estate agency. Filippo Cori and team worked with us over 5-6 months and in summary was invaluable in the work he/they did. The property titles, deeds and property transfer procedure were unlike anything else we had experienced before, complicated even by Italian standards, and Great Estate guided us and completed some wonderful due diligence work which resulted in a successful outcome for us (and the vendor). I highly recommend his and Great Estate’s services to anyone looking for property in Italy.

Great Estate was referred to us by a trusted friend. We could not have been more pleased about the comprehensive communication and follow through of our realtor. He guided us through every step, even though the seller was less than cooperative. We did have roof leaks after the sale, even though we asked about any deferred maintenance, but the seller may not have disclosed this. Our realtor went beyond what was required, assisting us with a bank account, phone service, contractor connections, finding furniture and even a rental car! We cannot recommend Great Estate highly enough.

We bought a property in Tuscany a year ago using Great Estate. They were really excellent, both before and after the purchase. They advised us on finding a notary; they got us a codice fiscale; they suggested a really good architect who has helped us refurbish the house; they also helped with the transfer of the utility bills. Special thanks goes to Nicolo Cordone who coordinated everything.

We have had a truly incredible experience working with the Great Estate team, especially Nicolo Cordone.They helped us acquire our dream Italian property in Umbria. They were extremely professional and went above and beyond to assist us with the entire process of navigating the purchase. Nicolo also assisted with electricity, customs holds, and helping us connect with an incredible caretaker for our property. We bought the property in February and we can still go to Nicolo with questions and referral help. We highly recommend the Great Estates team and would not hesitate to use them again.

We have been working with Great Estate and especially Nicolo' Cordone for over a year and in early 2023 with his help found the villa of our dreams in Umbria (on the Tuscany boarder near Chiusi). Buying a 2nd home in Italy is not easy and it takes a lot of work on the buyer part as well but Nicolo' and Great Estates got us access to countless properties to review online. After two physical trips and viewing our dream came through. During the sales process Great Estate secured ALL of the MANY sales documents, provided direction on electricity, water etc. and appointments with the seller and transfers of money. Great Estate and Nicolo' made it happen and we are forever in this debt! Awesome experience!!

We had the pleasure of working with Nicoló Cordone in securing property in Umbria and we cannot say enough good things about him and the experience as a whole with Great Estates. Being in the US the time change can sometimes be difficult, but it seemed as though Nicoló was always available, responding outside of normal hours to help us and answer our questions. They were there to help all along the way, even providing much needed assistance with paying utility bills after the sale was finalized. Nicoló continues to be very helpful and we all consider him a close friend.

The property itself is nothing short of extraordinary. We have already had large family gatherings in the home and are already planning our next trip over.

If you are looking for a Real Estate Agency for property in the Umbria/Tuscany Region, make sure to give Great Estates a try, you will not be disappointed.

We are a Belgian couple in love with Italy, so the next step was to buy a property in Tuscany. We had been looking for about a year with no success until we found Great Estate on the internet - pure luck - and got in touch with Filippo - pure luck again. He and the team immediately understood our needs and even more importantly - our no-go’s.
I think we were presented about 7-8 properties, all of them reasonably close to our wishes until we found our dream house - exactly as we had pictured it in our minds.
The Great Estate team were not only extremely helpful and efficient in the search but also in the administrative follow up (Notary, Government, ….)
Thank you Great Estate for finding the perfect spot for our family

We have recently bought a property in Umbria through Greate Estate. Our experience with this agency is excellent. From the very start, to the very end, through all the numerous steps involved in the process, we have been guided by them in a way that made the purchase a pleasure. Special thanks to Filippo Cori for coordinating everything, but also to the rest of the GE team.

Our experience with Great Estate was fantastic! Very courteous, professional, timely in responsiveness, and a pleasure to work with. In particular, our agent, Filippo Couri, was excellent and a major reason for us finding our beautiful property in Toscana! We really appreciated his expertise and professionalism. We would recommend Filippo and Great Estate to anyone interested in purchasing a home in Italia! Thank you again for your excellent help.

I have experienced excellent service from Filippo Cori at Great Estate, and I have never had anything to complain about. Filippo has patiently presented properties to us in our hunt for the perfect match, he has visited properties on our behalf and video taped it for us in out absense, he has referred us to a great property lawyer, and he has helped us bid at an auction in Italy. He has been honest, and never tried to oversell anything.
I noticed that the last gentleman who wrote a review, has 5 1-star reviews. I suppose some people are just negative.

Contacted about a property located in Umbria, but deceitfully described as a "prestigious residence, surrounded by the Umbrian countryside", it quickly appeared that instead of the usually preserved Umbrian countryside, this deserted house (stagnating on the real estate market for many years, although presented at a price more than THREE TIMES the local market value... while the fluctuating living surfaces vary from 336 to 511 sq.m.!) is stuck between some welcoming "luxury" high voltage pylons and a smelly intensive poultry farm.

Moreover, just to confirm their lack of honesty and basic respect towards their customers, the "Property Consultant" in charge of this listing has rudely hang up on my assistant, as soon as she underlined the qualities/real living surfaces/asked price inconsistencies.

In short, this real estate agency has no scruples to mislead the buyers, and such disloyal practices should be exposed to the right authorities.
