Did you know?
- In Italian, the word agente can also refer to a police officer (agente di polizia), meaning that without the word immobiliare, the phrase could be mistaken for a law enforcement agent.
- Unlike in the US, where a realtor often works for a large national franchise, many agenzie immobiliari in Italy are small, family-run businesses that serve only one single village or neighborhood.
- The word immobiliare comes from the Latin 'immobilis', meaning 'immobile'. In Italian, real estate is literally described as 'immovable' property.
