About
Ballatoio is an independent agency based in Brera.
The name comes from Milan’s case di ringhiera: the ballatoio is the long balcony that runs around the courtyard, onto which every front door opens. It is where neighbours get to know each other.
We look after a small number of homes at a time, nearly all of them in Milan: period apartments, lofts in old workshops, a few villas in Brianza and a few houses on Lake Como. Every home has an agent who knows it, photographs taken in daylight and a text we write ourselves.
How we work
- The visit
- An agent comes to see the home, looks at the papers (floor plan, land registry, energy certificate) and listens to your timing.
- The valuation
- You get a written price, with the sales and listings we used to reach it.
- The story
- Photographs in daylight, a clean floor plan and a text we write ourselves. The home goes on this site and on the portals you choose.
- The viewings
- We do them, by appointment, and tell you how each one went.
- The deed
- We follow the offer, the preliminary contract and the deed at the notary.
