MDA Advisory · Buyer advisory for property in Ticino
On the buyer's side. Only the buyer's side.
Analysis, due diligence and negotiation for anyone buying property in Ticino, for a fixed fee agreed before we begin.
A fixed fee. An unbiased opinion.
Our fee is agreed in writing before we start and stays the same whatever the final price and whatever you decide. That is why we can tell you plainly whether the property is worth the asking price, how much to offer and, if need be, when to walk away. MDA Advisory only works on properties that MDA is not selling, with no ties to the seller.
Buy with clarity.

How buyer advisory works.
01 — CONSULTATION — Thirty minutes, free and without obligation, at our office, by phone or by video. It is there to establish whether we can help: reviewing documents and giving an opinion on value begin once you engage us.
02 — ENGAGEMENT — Within 48 hours you receive a written proposal with a fixed scope, timeline and fee. We coordinate the specialists, at a fixed price and only with your approval.
03 — REPORT — A clear recommendation: buy, negotiate or walk away. If you decide to proceed, we stay with you through to completion.
