What should a local buyer include when asking a Bahamas real estate question?

Include your island/area, budget, property type (condo/home/land), whether you’re cash or mortgage, and your timeline. For condos, include your rental plans, because HOA rules and fees can change the numbers.

How do I avoid overpaying for a home in Nassau?

Compare recent sold/active pricing, verify condition and maintenance, and confirm title pathway early. I help local buyers sanity-check pricing using real Bahamas MLS data and total monthly cost, not just list price.

What do I need for a Bahamas mortgage or pre-qualification?

Each lender is different, but you’ll typically want proof of income, bank statements, ID, and a clear budget target. If you message your budget and timeline, I can point you to the next best step and the right pages to start.

What should I check before buying a condo as a local buyer?

Confirm HOA fees, what’s included (insurance/security/generators), special assessments, reserve health, rental and pet rules, and whether the building’s financials match your expectations.

How do I know if a listing is real and still available?

Use verified Bahamas MLS inventory and confirm the listing status before you arrange viewings. I send verified options so you don’t waste time chasing sold or outdated listings.
