How to Buy Belize Real Estate
Simple does not imply Easy
How To Buy Belize Real Estate is a simple process. However simple does not imply easy. It is highly recommended that you ALWAYS use a professional REALTOR to purchase property anywhere in the world.
This is why I started Rainforest Realty! I was almost taken advantage of and did not appreciate the lack of integrity that I experienced as an Expat Moving to Belize. So I was challenged by some friends of mine to provide an avenue so people like myself could move to Belize without the stress and lack of integrity that I experienced in this process.
I grew up with my Mom as a Real Estate Broker in the Washington DC area. Although I never planned on having a real estate business in Belize, I sure know how a customer focused, integrity based business helps people meet their goals. After my experience in Belize with purchasing real estate, it was obvious to me that starting this business would be a great benefit to both the locals who want to sell their real estate and the Expats Moving to Belize who want to purchase Belize Real Estate.
Why use Team Rainforest Realty as YOUR “Buyers Agent”?
The service structure for a Buyers Agent is to show buyers all possible listings from other cooperating brokers as well as all other sources, such as for sale by owners when available. Then, we assist the buyer with evaluation and negotiation and advocate in the buyer’s best interests throughout the real estate transaction. Not all real estate companies are full service organizations. Some will only show you their own listings of which they represent the sellers.
