What is the best way to search for homes in Bahamas?
We asked expats in Bahamas the best way to search for homes in Bahamas. They said...
"Expats can search for homes in the Bahamas by looking online for real estate listings, contacting local real estate agents, and researching the local housing market. They can also look for expat-specific resources, such as expat forums and websites, to get advice from other expats who have already gone through the process of finding a home in the Bahamas. Additionally, expats can attend local events and meet-ups to network and learn more about the local housing market," explained one expat living in Bahamas.
" Thre are a lot of real estate companies here. Some of the better ones I have dealt with are: Adam Duncombe of ERA Dupuch Real Estate Marilyn Ayearst-Hartley of Bahamas Islands Realty Gavin Christie of C.A. Christie Real Estate and Claire Thackray of Mccarroll Real Estate Of course that is not to say the rest are all no good but I have come across some shady ones and so prefer to stick with the ones I know are honest and helpful. If you are looking to rent, you probably better off just asking around. Everyone knows people with homes for rent to expats and you will get a better deal not going through a real estate agent, just make sure you have a qualified person look over the lease agreement. If you want to build, speak directly with the builders, ask around to get the names of good ones. If you plan on building in a gated community the association can normally help you with finding a good builder as they don't want poorly developed homes in their community. ," said another in Nassau, Bahamas.
