When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Montana, they said:
"It is important to know that the real estate market in Montana can be complex, with different rules and regulations in different towns and counties. Before purchasing any property, buyers should research the local market carefully, seeking advice from a qualified real estate professional to help identify properties that fit their specific needs and budget. Buyers should also be sure to hire a qualified appraiser to evaluate any property they intend to purchase to get an accurate estimate of its value. Additionally, buyers should check to see if the seller has any unpaid taxes or liens on the property before closing any sale. It is advisable for buyers to obtain title insurance as well as do their due diligence when inspecting the property and researching the surrounding area," explained one foreigner living in Montana.
