Knight Frank strengthens Italian presence with new preferred agency in Milan

The collaboration marks the first step in Knight Frank’s strategy to broaden its presence across Italy, a key European hub for high-net-worth-individuals (HNWIs) attracted by the country’s competitive flat tax regime and lifestyle appeal.

This partnership expands Knight Frank’s presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic real estate markets and enhances its ability to serve clients seeking opportunities in Milan’s prime and super-prime sectors. Knight Frank is established across key Italian destinations, including Lake Como, Florence, Lucca, Umbria, Sardinia, Portofino and Venice, offering trusted, tailored services to clients looking to invest in Italy.

Founded in 2014 by Geraldine Semeghini, Lincs Estate has become a distinctive name in Milan’s high-end residential landscape. Operating from its headquarters in Foro Buonaparte, in the heart of the city, the agency specialises in prestigious properties and new developments across Milan’s most desirable neighbourhoods, including Quadrilatero della Moda, Brera and Porta Nuova. Known for its client-focussed approach, Lincs Estate curates a carefully selected portfolio of exclusive residences and luxury developments across Milan.

Geraldine Semeghini, Founder and CEO of Lincs Estate, said: “We are delighted to be Knight Frank’s preferred agency in Milan. This collaboration represents an exciting new chapter for our firm and our clients. Knight Frank’s international presence and expertise perfectly complement our local knowledge and personalised service model. Together, we will be able to offer clients access to Milan’s finest homes and development opportunities and connect them with buyers and investors from around the world. Our shared values and client-first ethos make this an ideal fit, and we are very much looking forward to the journey ahead.”

Mark Harvey, Head of International Residential & Associate Network at Knight Frank, commented: “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Lincs Estate in Milan. The business fully reflects Knight Frank’s own commitment to professionalism, integrity and partnership. Milan has quickly become one of Europe’s most competitive and exciting prime residential markets, an important destination for both domestic HNWIs and international buyers. This alliance enables us to strengthen our presence in the city and expand the support we can offer to clients seeking to buy, sell or develop in Italy’s commercial capital. It also marks the first step in a broader plan to reinforce Knight Frank’s position across Italy, a country that continues to attract significant global wealth.”

The partnership follows a preferred agency structure, enabling cross-referrals and collaboration between the two firms while allowing both to retain their independent brand identities.
