Who we work for
A spare home is a decision put off.
Four situations, four routes. None of them starts with “sell now”.
The second home you hardly use
It costs twelve months a year; you see it for three weeks. Sell it, let it, or make it earn?
Your second home →An empty home costs money
Building charges, IMU (the municipal property tax), maintenance, idle capital. The alternatives are not just “sell now”.
Earns while it sells →Your property is in Varese. You are not.
Milan, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK: one team on the ground for viewings, guests, tenants and documents.
Remote owner →You have inherited a home
Property first: what it is worth, what to do with it. Probate, tax and the notary go to the right professionals. From abroad, too.
Inherited, from abroad →The method · earns while it sells
Three stages. The property never stands still.
While building charges and IMU keep running, a home on the market sits idle. If it is suitable, we let it on short stays and keep selling it. Viewings always come first.
2 Earns
Meanwhile, it earns
Airbnb guests looked after by the property management team, from check-in to the 11 pm problem. You pay 25% of nightly rates collected, VAT included: nothing, if nothing comes in.
3 Completion
Sell, without losing months
A buyer can sleep there one night before deciding (Try the home). At completion the buyer pays 3% + VAT; you pay 1% + VAT.

In February I entrusted BridgeRent with the sale of my house in Gallarate and after about ten days an offer came in.
What I appreciated most is that the house kept earning even after the offer: with the short lets managed by BridgeRent I made around 800 euros net a month, from February to July.
Before learning about this option I was only thinking about the sale. Having an income while waiting was a concrete advantage. Thanks to Andrea and BridgeRent!
I had already worked with Andrea Tonali of BridgeRent in the past for short lets, where I came to appreciate the precision and quality of his advice. More recently we entrusted him with the sale of a family home: he immediately identified the right market value and the house was sold within a week, at exactly that figure.
Andrea really follows everything, is always there and very clear in explaining what is happening and what the next steps are. He followed us with great care right up to completion. I recommend him without hesitation.
I bought a home with Bridge Rent and had a very good experience. Andrea listened to my needs and helped me find a solution that truly reflected what I was looking for. Kind, available and easy-going throughout the whole purchase. A positive experience I would certainly recommend! :)

Where we work · two perimeters
We sell in Varese, on the lakes and in Milan. We manage where we have a local team.
Sales and management do not cover the same ground: management needs same-day check-ins, cleaning and inspections. The list is kept up to date here, and it is the same on Google and on the portals.
Sales
Varese, the lakes, Como and Milan
- Varese and its first ring
- Lake Varese
- Valceresio and Ceresio
- Malpensa axis
- Lake Maggiore, Lombardy shore
- Como and the western shore
- Milan
The Swiss shore of the Ceresio is outside our agency work (it needs a cantonal licence), but many of our owners live in Switzerland.
Short-let management
Only where there is a local team with signed service levels
- Varese and its first ring
- Lake Varese
- Valceresio and Ceresio
- Malpensa axis (already active: long stays linked to the airport)
- Lake Maggiore, Lombardy shore (from the opening of the cleaning and check-in team, target first quarter 2027)
- Como and the western shore (properties already managed; new mandates when the local team is in place)
- Milan (properties already managed; new mandates when the local team is in place)
Office: former Cinema Vittoria, via Bagaini 10, Varese · by appointment.
The real objections
The questions people ask before signing.
Longer answers, in Italian, in our guides (in Italian).
What do I actually pay if I sell with BridgeRent?
On the sale: 1% + VAT at completion, always, with or without management. The buyer pays 3% + VAT, stated on every listing. If you choose short-let management, 25% of nightly rates collected, VAT included: if nothing comes in, you pay nothing. Everything in full on the Fees page, with three worked examples.
Why does the mandate last 4 months, and what happens if you don’t sell?
Four months is the time needed to do the whole job: photos within 10 days, listing within 15, a report every 30, a price review with data on day 60 and day 90. The 2-month renewal needs a new signature; it never renews by itself. If we miss one of the written commitments, you leave without penalties. If it doesn’t sell, you pay no agency fee.
Do I have to let it while it is for sale?
No. Earns while it sells is a separate contract, activated only if the property is suitable and you want it, and it can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. Most properties sell without guests, under the same rules.
Can I sell it while guests are staying?
Yes. The booking calendar gives way to the viewing calendar: we accept no booking that clashes with a scheduled viewing, and we inspect the home before every viewing. If it sells sooner than expected, we go to completion and management ends.
I live abroad. Can everything be done remotely?
Yes. Viewings, guests, documents and negotiation are handled here in Varese; completion can be signed through a notarial power of attorney. A written report every 30 days, video calls when a decision is due. How it works from abroad.
Who replies, and what happens if someone is away?
We reply within 24 hours on working days. Andrea personally follows strategy, pricing, negotiation and completion of every mandate. If your contact is away, whoever replies knows where your file stands: one system, one shared report.
Do you work outside Varese?
We sell in Varese, on the lakes and in Milan. We manage where we have a local team: the list is kept up to date here. Sales: Varese, Lake Varese, Ceresio and Valceresio, Lake Maggiore (Lombardy shore), the Malpensa axis, Como and the western shore, Milan. Short-let management: Varese and its first ring, Lake Varese, Ceresio and Valceresio, the Malpensa axis, plus the properties already managed in Milan and Como. The Swiss shore of the Ceresio is outside our agency work (it needs a cantonal licence), but many of our owners live in Switzerland.
How can I check you out?
