STep 1 - find a property
Register with a reputable agent
Research islands and developments. Narrow down to your top 3. Find agents who specialise in those areas and interview them.
Search On-line
Your agent will likely send you a short list of properties via The Bahamas MLS. Continue to search on-line to become more knowledgeable about your communities of choice.
View Properties
Plan to see only three to five properties in each location. Anymore and it becomes overwhelming!
Make an offer
Your agent will draw up a Letter of Intent (offer letter) which includes all details of your offer. Once accepted you will be referred to a reputable attorney.
Get Under Contract
Once you have completed all Client Profile Forms and provided personal identification, the seller's attorney will draw up the Purchase & Sales Agreement (the contract) which both buyer and seller will sign. At this time the buyer will also send a deposit.
Close the Sale
All conditions are fulfilled. These may include Bahamas Investment Authority permission for the buyer; installation of survey markers by the seller; financing approval from the bank; title search; property inspection.
