Scalea Property Services were one of the first foreign real estate agents in the region. Set up over 5 years ago by Tony Hackett & David Thorpe, both property owners in Scalea, who decided to help out other foreign buyers and went about developing their business plan. With the help of many locals, Scalea Property has grown into the one-stop-shop for foreign buyers in the region. From viewing trips to paying bills, from purchase assistance to renovation project management, from renting your property to having a beer with you, we’ve got it covered. We’ll be with you every step of the way.
Our website is one of the most comprehensive for Calabria and is updated on a regular basis. The website is a showcase for real estate with many more properties available for sale. We have a diverse selection of real estate from old town ruins to off-plan developments. Most of our properties are key-in-hand and ready to move in and we can typically complete a sale within 8 weeks.
Tony now works on his own, David returning to England due to family commitments. Tony will be on hand to help you thro ugh the buying process here in Calabria and looks forward to meeting you soon. We were recently previewed on the USA TV show House Hunters International, finding a property for a Californian teacher (

Tony Hackett
Tony Hackett; Scalea Property Services cult TV star (see Real Estate TV channel 279 on Sky) hails from Cheshire with Italian roots.
His mother was from Brescia in Lombardia northern Italy and Tony spent some time there in his youth (many years ago).
An avid football fan Tony claims to be Italian or English depending on how results may be going. I think you will all be able
to guess which side of the fence he was on in July 06! His real passion though is Manchester United. Unfortunately living in Italy means that, although a season ticket holder at Old Trafford Tony doesn’t get to go to many games these days. The sacrifices we have to make to earn a crust.
In between all the football Tony actually manages to get some viewing in with clients. With an extensive knowledge of the area Tony will help you select the area that suits your requirements and find your dream home in the sun.
You may see Tony walking his boxer dog 'Denis' (after Denis Law ex-manchester united footballer) to wind down after another long hard day at work!
