Searching for Bahamas Real Estate

What's the first question you ask yourself when you're ready to buy a home or a property in the Bahamas? It should be, "How much can I afford?" Without that crucial piece of information, you can't even begin your Bahamas real estate search. Figure your monthly income and debt payments and determine how much you can put down.

Now, apply for pre-approval to shop for the best interest rate and terms.

Now, what do you want out of your new purchase? Do you want to be close to town, close to where you work, east, west, south, near a resort and beaches, single family home, condo, vacant property, etc?

Now that you've figured out what you're looking for and what you can afford, locate the general or specific neighbourhoods that satisfy your requirements. Your Bahamas Real Estate Association agent can help you further in answering your questions. Find your BREA agent through referrals or an interview to get the right "chemistry."

You can browse listings online, but your Bahamas real agent should be able to provide a list of suitable properties quickly if they are available. Make appointments with your agent to go to the next steps.
