Your trusted property partner in Varese

Our family absolutely loved working with John. He is kind, prompt, professional, helpful, and truly a pleasure to work with. He moved very quickly to help our family to find a home in Lissago. We are expats here in Varese and knew very little about the process of buying a home in Italy. John walked us through every step and always made sure we had the information we needed to make the right decision for our family. We absolutely love our new home and neighbourhood. Really cannot recommend John highly enough.

John helped me to sell my house and buy another one. He gave valuable advice along the whole process and I was very satisfied. John is very kind and certainly a big help to anyone that is not so familiar with the Italian language and property market.

Hello all, on the recommendation of the Varese at Home group we worked with John Holder, who proved to be an invaluable ally. He guided us through our viewing of about 7 different houses in early March, helped us make our selection, and then assisted us through the lease process with our new Italian landlords. In July we will be moving to a lovely house in Somma Lombardo that meets and exceeds our current needs. Not only is John extremely knowledgeable, he is a lovely person to know.

It’s a pleasure working with John buying property on Lago Maggiore in Northern Italy. Patient and never flustered are important qualities to maintain to get the job done here. His experience as both an agent/advisor and as a specialty property investor himself, make him a solid resource always seeking excellent opportunities.

John Holder Property Finder and Consultant with his expertise took us to visit several properties so we could establish what was the best type of property for us. He then took care of all the necessary second viewings and the paperwork. Furthermore he is very well available to help out with quotes from builders and all the necessities of setting up our daily life in the Varese area. But most important he is a very kind, trustworthy and gentle man.

We had a very good experience with John for buying our house. He accompanied us during the whole process from the visit to the signature of the deed of sale and helped us dealing with administrative questions, energy and water contracts, etc. He has always been very reactive and efficient, and I can only warmly recommend him.

John Holder property finder and consultant did an excellent job in helping us find and buy a property in Ispra. He continued advising us in the rebuilding of our house. He has excellent connections throughout the Varese area which helps us with realizing our new home. He is knowledgeable, honest and readily available for all our questions. I definately recommend John Holder for your property needs in the Varese area.

After having helped mum and dad sell a property rapidly, we engaged John to sell one of ours too. Very competent and always available. It’s good to have feedback after every visit and understand if there is real interest from a potential buyer (something that italian real estate agents don’t seem able to do). He also helps with bureaucratic aspects which can be very tedious in Italy! Highly recommend, very thorough and professional. Thanks John.

John helped us with so many aspects of our first home journey.He was always supportive and willing to assist in any way he can. John is extremely knowledgeable in the local area, council regulations and property market.
We highly recommend John to anyone looking to by a home.

John assisted us throughout the entire process of buying a house in auction as promised. We were very happy with his knowledge, how he communicated between us and various parties throughout and his professional approach which culminated in us completing the sale of a property which will become our family home. I would recommend him and we would use his services again.

Without John’s help, we would not had been able to find and close a deal for house in Italy. His knowledge and endurance helped us to through the process – not only about finding, but also managing all the practical issues. We highly recommend John to anyone looking to buy a house in northern Italy.

John is a great partner in the auction process. He really understands how things work here and helped us navigate the inevitable surprises and stresses from the beginning to end. An excellent guide and advisor with very reliable service.

John is a terrific partner for anyone looking to buy or sell a house in northern Italy, and especially for those who don’t feel comfortable managing complex transactions in Italian. While buying our house at auction in Piedmont/Piemonte, we found him to be friendly, honest, precise, persistent, patient and knowledgeable about the Italian real estate market, and supportive from our first encounter to our closing many months later. I highly recommend John to anyone considering a traditional or auction purchase, including buyers who are shopping remotely and need a trusted partner to handle details & signatures on site. Thanks, John!

I had an excellent experience with John as my property finder. For us he negotiated a good price with the agency representing the buyer. He also has a lot of english speaking connections like a mortgage broker and a notary.

I’m very happy we met John and am genuinely impressed with the way John handles things. John is a true gentleman.
He helped us through unknown proceedings in an eloquent way. We would have never found or been able to acquire our house without his help. I very strongly recommend John, being the critical (and not always easy) person that I am.

Many thanks to John for his professional, competent and pleasant service. Also we are very thankful for his good advice and recommendations for financial and building services. We are really very happy and would highly recommend John to anyone.
