Real estate law in the USA has very specific peculiarities that can put Italian buyers in great difficulty. Buying a property for those who do not know United States law can turn into a rather unique event. Those who purchase a property without having first consulted with lawyers specialized in Immigration Law are unable to explain how it is actually possible to own a house in the United States and not be able to live there for more than 3 months, i.e. for the duration of the travel visa.

By virtue of the complexities of the American real estate market, it is important to make use of the support of an international law firm with experience in real estate matters, which can appropriately assist the buyer, right from the first negotiations. In fact, in the United States it is the lawyer’s job (unlike in Italy where everything is often done by the Notary) to assist the buyer in dealing with sellers who are sometimes quite aggressive and the real estate agent who represents the seller.
