How do I find a place to live in Exuma?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Exuma involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a beachfront villa to a modest apartment. Next, you should research the different areas of Exuma to decide where you'd like to live. The island is divided into several districts, each with its own unique characteristics. Some areas are more residential, while others are closer to tourist attractions or have better access to amenities like shops and restaurants. Once you've narrowed down your preferences, you can start looking for available properties. There are several online real estate platforms that list properties for rent or sale in Exuma, such as Bahamas Realty, Engel & Völkers Bahamas, and H.G. Christie Ltd. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, property type, price range, and other criteria. You can also consider hiring a local real estate agent to assist you in your search. They can provide valuable insights about the local market, help you negotiate prices, and guide you through the legal process of renting or buying property in the Bahamas. Once you've found a property you're interested in, you should arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property in person and ask any questions you might have. Finally, if you decide to proceed with the property, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or purchase agreement, pay any necessary deposits or fees, and arrange for the transfer of utilities. Remember, moving to a new country can involve additional complexities, such as visa requirements and tax implications. Therefore, it's advisable to seek legal advice before making any commitments," remarked one member in Exuma.
