Franco Leone and his sidekick Franca who run Sicily Property Management have consistently dishonest and misleading in my experience. Their estimates never stay at the agreed price and almost always ends up costing significantly more.This pattern has caused serious problems for multiple client, and have been taken to court on several occasions because of theses practices. The are lots more decent and honest estate agents in Sicily.I strongly advise avoiding this company.

Please think very carefully and do get legal advise and do not purchase a property direct from the estate agent without. Get the correct value of the property this changes regularly, the agent will not tell you this. taxes go on the value not the purchase price. Also get any illness added to all contracts very clearly. Even though cancer is classed as an act of god, with should mean our deposit is returned. This agent is ignoring all emails and any communication. I have legal representation and am going to small claims court, very time consuming and stressful when you are ill. Tread with caution ⚠️

Franco and Franca. Where to begin... Sicily would not be possible without "The Fras." Franco runs the real estate part. Integrity is rare in the world: Franco embodies integrity. If you get a price from him and send him money, he will follow through and you will get an accurate accounting. I bought a property 10 years ago and I have never heard of any issues that were not settled honestly by Franco. If you want to buy something here, you can not find a better agent. He lived in London for 20 years so his english is excellent and he is tied into the system here in a big way. I consider him a friend and he is always available to help solve any issue: from communication with the car mechanic to exchange rates, to how to get good sausage in Caccamo. Franca. She runs the "refurb" business. Powerful women in Sicily are rare. Women in the construction trades are exceedingly rare. Franca lived in Toronto for many years and has excellent English. Her family is in the construction business. She works with many builders ( Massimo is sooo awesome and if you can get Roberto or Piero on your project - you will be in the best of hands). Franca did our renovation and built our pool (see pix on refurb page) as well as house additions and the like. She translates in real time the subtleties of taste to the builders and they deliver. If you have an issue, she will respond and make good. Her office is next to the 100 year old oil mill in Caccamo and it is always a joy to stop in and catch up. I never thought that I could live in Europe. Franco and Franca have made it easy and fun and their pricing is fair. If you are considering a place away from home that feels like home -- Sicily and Caccamo offer a magical place to live, adventure, and relax. It is our home away from home: a place that we spend more and more time. Take the leap. :)

My wife Jackie and I purchased a home in Caccamo. Fortunately, SPMB was our realtor. Franco and Franca helped us with everything. They made the entire process easy, and enjoyable. This is our dream come true. I know it never would have happened without Franco and Franca. They have become like family to us. We have met many of their other clients, and they all feel the same. It is very comforting to be a part of the SPMB family. Franca has just begun our renovation project. She does amazing work, and updates us everyday with pictures and comments. I cannot say enough to express how fortunate Jackie and I feel about our relationship with SPMB. If you ever think about moving to Caccamo, you need to talk to Franco and Franca first. Jackie & Joel
