Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate in Lake Como Housing Market
According to Rizzotto, the major buyer segments in the Como market consist of customers from the USA, Germany, and Northern Europe. “Of the 16 thousand Americans living in Italy, many are in the Lake Como area and destined to grow. Some of them have Italian roots, and some of them just love the Italian lifestyle,” Rizzotto noted.
“The Americans ask for houses near Como city, the motorway, Milano Malpensa airport, in Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Blevio, and Laglio. Many clients want to view properties in the same area where international actors own their villas. Lake Como is a super brand. There is more demand than supply; we have sold houses unsold for years, especially those ready to live in. Both modern and historic properties find their buyers.
“With the international reputation of Berkshire Hathaway combined with our continuing local ownership, it is a move up to an even brighter future,” Rizzotto stated.
Specialists at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate are armed with entrepreneurial flair and possess local market knowledge. Their experience in the area enables them to assist clients in making profitable investment decisions and provides access to exclusive real estate opportunities.
Recognizing that, in the high-end segment, word of mouth is the best advertising, agents ensure that each client selling or buying a property is satisfied with their work at a level that encourages recommendations within their circle.
The company also offers a wide range of management services. “We guide each customer through the process, providing strategic consulting and multilingual assistance across various sectors, including fiscal, technical, and bureaucratic aspects,” Rizzotto says.
The Brand That Generate Trust
The network of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices offers a range of real estate services, including buying, selling, renting, and managing residential and commercial properties.
The brand strongly benefits from its association with Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the multinational conglomerate headed by Warren Buffett.
Founded by Marina Yakovleva Rizzotto in 2010, Palazzo Estate is now among the real estate companies entrusted to use the world-renowned Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices name. But, of course, it’s not only about naming; the agency is planning to adopt the experience of the global real estate corporation to deliver a more refined and tailored home buying and selling experience, standing out thanks to the highest standards of expertise and sophistication.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices includes more than 50,000 real estate professionals and nearly 1,600 offices across four continents and 13 countries and territories, including the US, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Greece, London, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and India.
The network completed more than USD 154.7 billion in real estate sales in 2022.
“Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices reaches millions of unique global consumers through agreements with various marketing platforms, including Mansion Global, WeChat Channel, MansionGlobal.com, and WSJ.com platforms in the US, Europe, and Asia. The company’s global website, BerkshireHathawayHS.com, provides international shoppers with a robust search experience.
“When people are making the decision of the magnitude of buying a house, it’s the biggest decision a great many families will ever make,” states Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. “They want to know who they’re working with and we think that the Berkshire Hathaway name will be reassuring to many of those people.”
Upcoming Opening on Lake Maggiore
“This upcoming 2024 season not only marks a milestone in consolidating our presence in our traditional areas but also brings significant news: come March, we will be opening a new office on Lake Maggiore, specifically in Stresa.” Rizzotto concludes. “This opening is of utmost strategic importance to our company”.
“The new flagpost will bolster our presence on Lake Maggiore, a location increasingly favored by our European and American clientele, and unveil the untapped potential the region holds. We are confident that the tranquility and beauty of Lake Maggiore will attract a growing number of customers.”
