From the United States to Umbria, Rebecca and Tommy found their dream home with Great Estate. A story of trust, professionalism and a new life project.
After spending years between New York, Los Angeles and London, Rebecca and Tommy chose Umbria as the place to begin a new chapter of their lives with their children, finally fulfilling their dream of living in Italy. They were looking for a home surrounded by greenery, spacious enough to accommodate their family and the many friends visiting from all over the world. What ultimately captured their hearts was Resina Manor House, a property full of character and potential, in which they immediately recognised the ideal setting for bringing their vision to life.
Their search began online, among hundreds of property listings, and eventually led them to Filippo Cori, Great Estate’s International Property Consultant at the Spoleto office, who guided and supported them throughout the process with patience and professionalism. They viewed no fewer than 27 properties before finding the right one. Along the way, the couple gained a clearer understanding of their needs, balancing their desire for countryside living with practical considerations, such as being close to their children’s schools.
Filippo knew how to share our enthusiasm while also helping us assess every aspect of the process realistically. We never felt pressured into making a decision. He was a true partner, someone who genuinely understood what we needed.
Great Estate’s support continued even after the purchase, assisting Rebecca and Tommy throughout the complex renovation project. Thanks to the network of contacts and professionals recommended by Filippo, they were able to approach the renovation with greater confidence and make their vision a reality, gradually transforming the property into the home they had always dreamed of and the place where they could build their future together. Today, after almost two years of renovation work and a summer spent welcoming friends and family, Rebecca and Tommy are enthusiastically embracing their new life in Italy. And as new projects take shape in the property’s outdoor spaces, their dream continues to grow.
It wasn’t simply about buying a house, but about finding the right resources and the right people to bring what we had imagined to life. We have already recommended Filippo and Great Estate to friends in Australia and the United States.
Rebecca and Tommy’s story shows how a dream can become reality through trust and the professionalism of Great Estate.
