Lake Como Properties and Lake Como Expert – going strong
since 1997 and the FIRST English-speaking rental agent on Lake Como.
Founder and Director, Beverley Rosen, moved to Lake Como in
1996 and soon saw a huge gap in the market – ‘the local tourist information
office produced a small leaflet of Italian owners who rented out their
properties. They listed their names and phone numbers, so if you were
interested you just had to call them….. sounds simple…. But not so… none of
them spoke a word of English!’
So Lake Como Properties was born, to bridge the gap between
the Italian owners and English-speaking potential renters.
Over the years Lake Como Properties has handled hundreds of
rentals all over Lake Como, but more recently specialises in up-market
properties, like the award winning Villa Lilla, in Argegno, which has swept the
board with 4 different awards from Trip Advisor.
Property rentals naturally then led Beverley into Property
Sales and she has been acting as a Property Finder on Lake Como for the last 5
years, helping English-speaking clients find their dream home or holiday home
on Lake Como. ‘I am not an estate agent’ says Beverley… ‘ but a Property
Finder, which means that I don’t have a list of properties to sell to clients,
but rather that I find the property to suit the client – I am client focussed
and have access to any property that is for sale on Lake Como and to many that
are never even listed with agents’.
A host of happy clients can vouch for Beverley’s services,
which don’t just stop at finding the perfect property, she also introduces her
clients to English-speaking lawyers, mortgage advisors and currency exchangers,
opens their bank accounts, applies for their tax code and then even takes them
shopping to furnish their house from trusted suppliers.
Client quotes
buying a property in
Italy, thanks to Beverley, was even easier than buying a property in our home
town – she held our hand every step of the way and handled all the
technicalities – after our initial visit, we literally showed up to sign the
contract!

The pre-selection
process that we did with Beverley prior to our visit to Lake Como, ensured that
our weekend of property hunting was time well-spent. We only viewed carefully
pre-selected properties – all 8 of which met our requirements, enabling us to
short-list 3 of them very quickly and finally deciding on the property that is
now our dream holiday home in the lovely village of Argegno. Without her calm,
patient, knowledgeable approach and her host of useful contacts, I don’t think
we would ever have dared to take the plunge. We are so glad that we did!

We had been searching
for a property on Lake Como for over 5 years when a friend recommended Lake
Como Properties to us. We initially chatted to Beverley on the phone, and very
quickly agreed a short-list of properties from the extensive selection that she
provided us with. We flew over for a week, determined to find somewhere. We
spent the first 2 days viewing and the rest of the week sorting out the
contract – we had finally done it. If only we had met her 5 years earlier.
