CNN travel recently covered us in a story by Sylvia Marchetti.
Working with experts and a network of real estate agents to help provide “really everything anyone needs to parachute in and take on a renovation of an abandoned house,” they’ve facilitated the sale and renovation of approximately 35 homes in the village, creating a large expat community."
ABC News Australia
ABC News Australia recently interviewed us for a story by Lucia Stein on 1 Euro houses in Olliai, Sardinia.
"They say interest from American expats wanting to buy in Italy has only grown .... in tandem with the expansion of 1 euro housing schemes in rural villages.
Christina and Pete also recommend not getting lured in by a 1 euro house, but thinking about where you'd like to live first, whether it's accessible and has the amenities you require.
The bottom line is, the search is really the most fun part. The property viewings, figuring out where you feel the most at home, that's the fun part of the process."
CANVASREBEL Magazine
Canvas Rebel Magazine recently interviewed Chris about her new painting career.
"The things I most love about my own art and the art I love in others is the communication factor. I love it when I can look at a piece and know what the artist is trying to communicate or to learn the story behind the painting and see just how the artist communicated through form, texture, color and the other elements of art. My own art I LOVE color and bling! I love painting subjects in colors you do not find in nature but which come from my imagination."
Success Magazine
Success Magazine's recent article "Boomers Dreaming of Living Abroad: Should You Stay or Should You Go?" featured our experiences in building communities in Italy. Quoting Chris, “A beautiful farmhouse in the country sounds amazing for a couple but can be cripplingly lonely for someone alone who has not learned the language and has not built up a network of good friends,” says Sobolev. “Building a community or joining one that already exists is my best advice to anyone coming over.”
