EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Lucia TamburrinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo usato il supporto del gruppo Reis per una parte fondamentale delle operazioni immobiliari commerciali dei nostri clienti italiani che hanno investito nel mercato statunitense, cioè la valutazione delle proprietà oggetto di transazione, ai fini di valutare la tassazione imponibile agli investimenti stranieri. In particolare abbiamo collaborato col team di uno dei partner del gruppo, il sig Daly, che parla anche benissimo l’italiano, rendendo il tutto molto più agevole. Avere questo supporto ci ha decisamente facilitato le cose, e’ stato dí fondamentale importanza per concludere velocemente anche la parte relativa alla valutazione per gli obbligatori adempimenti di tasse. Dovesse capitare nuovamente, collaboreremo ancora col gruppo Reis.Posted on Danilo DelfiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
