ITIntroduce a property

For real estate agents

A long-term tenant for your property owners.

We work with agents and agencies representing property owners in Italy. We seek homes to lease for 5 years or more and operate as short stays, beginning with Rome and Milan.

Introduce a property

An offer to take to your owner

Starting rent is 10% above the agreed market rent, with annual reviews linked to the consumer price index specified in the lease. The owner has one tenant and rent that is independent of guest bookings.

  • Required and agreed renovations funded by Cortile Stays.
  • Agreed improvements retained by the owner free of charge at handback.
  • Maintenance, repairs and end-of-lease repainting recorded in the agreement.

How an introduction works

Send the property details and explain your role with the owner. After an initial assessment, we agree the next steps with you: documents, a possible inspection, a proposal and discussion with the property owner.

  • We share suitability criteria and any work that needs discussion.
  • We agree contacts and communication with the owner.
  • The agency’s role and any fees are agreed in writing before proceeding.

Renovation opportunities and longer availability

Introduce furnished or unfurnished apartments, including homes that need work. Assessment covers access, building systems, layout, renovation timing, condominium restrictions and operational feasibility. Each proposal depends on the property and the agreement with its owner.

Australian experience, a new Italian business

Cortile Stays launches with support from Sydney Short Term Rentals, which reports operating in Sydney since 2015 and Airbnb Superhost status since 2019. Its Australian portfolio is available to review. We are building our first Italian portfolio; Sydney credentials refer to the Australian operation.

Common questions

Can I introduce several properties?
Yes. Send a separate description for each property, including location, condition, indicative rent and availability. We assess each one individually.
Is there an agency commission?
The agency’s role, any fees, who pays them and when they become payable are agreed in writing. No standard referral fee is published.
Does the owner need to furnish or renovate first?
You can introduce the property in its current condition. We assess the work required and agree the renovations we will fund and any furnishing arrangements in writing before starting.
