Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Italy
In Italy most people find an agent (agente immobiliare or mediatore) through the big property portals, where each listing is tied to a local agency, and through word of mouth or by visiting agency offices in their town. Many also look for agents affiliated with professional federations such as FIAIP or FIMAA.

Anyone.com
Italy's property market relies on regional directories and portal agency listings, which work well for domestic trades. But Italy also welcomes substantial numbers of international buyers, whether corporate relocations, EU workers, or overseas investors, and those buyers often struggle across separate national portals and language barriers. Anyone.com bridges that gap: it unifies local and international agent searches on one platform in multiple languages, so agents serving cross-border clients or working with foreign buyers can operate across both their domestic market and the wider European landscape without duplicate efforts.
How to choose a good one
Talk to two or three agencies that are active in your specific neighbourhood, ask about recent comparable sales they have closed and how they price, and confirm the agent is registered (iscritto al Registro Imprese / REA) at the local Chamber of Commerce. Commission is negotiable and is often charged to both seller and buyer, so agree the percentage, what it covers, and when it is due in writing before signing a mandate.
