Our International Story

Contact us

Chris Small, founder of Park27, has spent much of his life traveling throughout Europe—especially Italy. His passion began at just 14 years old during his first trip abroad, and his interest in Central and Southern Europe has only grown stronger over time.

In 2017, Chris took the leap and purchased a property in Italy. While initially framed as an investment, it quickly became a second home. This experience has provided him with firsthand insight into what it truly means to own and manage real estate internationally, including navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of short-term rentals abroad.

As both a real estate investor and a longtime enthusiast of European culture, Chris has developed strong connections—particularly in Central Italy and Florence. For those interested in exploring international property ownership or building global real estate connections, Chris is well-positioned to offer guidance and introductions across multiple regions.
