Common questions from buyers

Straight answers, no jargon.

Can I buy property in the Bahamas if I live abroad?

Foreign buyers can generally own property here. Depending on the size and intended use, some purchases need registration or a permit. I'll explain what applies to you, and your attorney will confirm it.

What costs should I expect besides the price?

Plan for legal fees, stamp duty, and other closing costs. I'll give you a written estimate for the specific property before you commit.

How long does a purchase usually take?

It varies with financing, title work, and approvals. I'll map out a realistic timeline once we know the property and your situation.

Can you help me find rental or investment property?

Yes. Choose "Invest" at the top of this page and I'll send options that suit your goals and budget.
