Testimonials

Na een lange zoektocht met verschillende makelaars troffen wij Tara van het makelaarskantoor Immobilare Il castello di Tara in Panicale.
Vanaf het eerste moment viel ons op hoe punctueel zij was in haar afspraken. Heel prettig was dat. Ze bracht ons diezelfde week naar een paar huizen die eigenlijk allemaal in de smaak vielen bij ons. Ze had dus heel goed geluisterd naar onze wensen.

We hebben toen via haar ons droomhuis gekocht. Ze heeft ons van te voren precies verteld wat we konden verwachten rond de aankoop en verwerving van een huis in Italie. Optimale begeleiding!

Tara kunnen we vertrouwen in haar adviezen. Dankzij haar kunnen wij echt genieten van onze droomplek in Italie!

We want to say a massive thank you to Tara at Il Castello di Tara for making our dreams come true.

Tara’s help through the process was constant and reassuring, while in no way intrusive. Tara assisted us in a fair and transparent negotiation with our seller, undertook checks to ensure the property was free in title; arranged the notary, translation, and all in all made it a supremely efficient and easy transaction.
What makes Tara special though is that she goes above and beyond for her clients and is extremely caring and considerate.

…Tara not only sorted the utilities into our name, but made sure the boiler was working properly, so the house was all set up for us to move in on the day. This made the whole experience perfect. Tara’s wealth of local contacts and experience meant she was able to guide us with surety so we could realise our dream.

... Tara som på ett mycket trevligt sätt visade oss runt bland de olika alternativ som fanns tillgängliga. Hon gav oss inte bara en utmärkt hjälp vid köpet av våningen, utan gav – och ger oss fortfarande – ett starkt stöd i alla de praktiska frågor och regler som uppstår i samband med ett lägenhetsköp. Vi kan varmt rekommendera Taras tjänster.

Our simple point… - your chosen real estate agent should understand and think like you in all the stages of achieving a “happy equilibrium”. Tara Acheson, the owner of Il Castello di Tara, ABSOLUTELY did so for us!

We were not the cookie-cutter, easy clients. Sorry Tara. ;-); however, Tara totally understood our macro goals, priority details, and the timeline for our search. She worked with us while tirelessly communicating in and outside of her time zone. Tara and her staff were quick learners absorbing all of our complex wish-list items, which took us through multiple towns in multiple provinces of Italy. With Tara’s tenacity of working with the group of secondary agents, her flexibility to our flying-from-overseas schedule, and recommendations of notarial services, banks, etc. our equilibrium was achieved – we have found our dream property in Lucca, Toscana.

THANK YOU TARA AND IL CASTELLO DI TARA STAFF!!! Seriously, we would dare anybody to find a bi-lingual, friendly, experienced, Italy-savvy, and execution-oriented agency better than Tara’s. Don’t even try ;-)

I was so lucky to find Tara. She has been amazing. When I finalized the sale of the property in Piegaro, Umbria in the complicated three steps it was Tara that walked me through everything.
It was the little things that Tara did….

I continue to be fortunate to have Tara help me out on a small renovation, check the house in the winter and now she is doing a legal translation for me.

Buying property for a Canadian in Umbria, Italy is no simple task. I was very fortunate to find Tara to walk me through all the processes, paper work and guide me through the sometimes Italian maze of eventual property ownership.
I highly recommend Tara. She is professional, knowledgeable and is competent in real estate transactions. Most importantly, her costs and fees are reasonable and there was no hidden expenditures in my transaction….I was amazed how smooth it all went. I think a large part of that was due to Tara’s diligence behind the scenes.

I am now thinking about buying some land and I would not go to anyone else but Tara Dunn Acheson in Panicale.

Tara Dunn Acheson has a very unusual quality in a realtor… she listens. Over many years I have looked at quite a lot of properties, and Tara is the only person who ever listened to what I said…

Usually when you are house hunting, you wind up wasting time, energy and patience being taken around to see completely unsuitable properties: I get frustrated. Tara will not do this to you.

I also recommend Tara highly for her supportive and comprehensive efforts on behalf of her clients. She is truly a pleasure to work with. And she quickly found me exactly right place to buy.
