Who to Call to Buy a Home in The Bahamas
If you’re serious about buying a home in The Bahamas, the answer is simple: call a licensed Bahamas real estate agent who can protect you. I’m Glenn Ferguson, Licensed Bahamas Real Estate Agent, Member BREA + Bahamas MLS, Bahamas residency consultant, and I’ve helped buyers do this safely for 24+ years.
Here’s what I’d recommend if you were sitting in my office today: define your must-haves, then I’ll shortlist verified homes that actually fit — and flag the deals you should avoid.
Call Glenn Ferguson (and why it matters)
Buying property in The Bahamas is not like buying in the US, Canada, or the UK. There are legal steps, zoning checks, title verification, condo document reviews, and restrictions that must be handled correctly — or you can lose time and money.
- Representation: You need an agent who represents you, not just the listing.
- Verification: MLS-backed inventory and real pricing context.
- Risk screening: Red flags caught early (title, zoning, fees, restrictions).
- Attorney coordination: Clean handoff from offer to closing.
- Residency guidance: If residency matters, we align strategy from day one.
What happens when you call
- Step 1: You share your area, budget, and timeline.
- Step 2: I send a verified shortlist (not scraped or stale listings).
- Step 3: We eliminate weak deals before you waste time viewing.
- Step 4: You make a clean, informed offer with a smart strategy.
- Step 5: We close safely with an attorney-led due diligence process.
- Island/area (Nassau, Paradise Island, etc.)
- Budget range
- Timeline (30/60/90 days)
- Property type (home/condo/land)
- Must-haves (waterfront, marina, gated, etc.)
Common mistakes buyers make (and how I prevent them)
- Calling the listing agent instead of having independent representation.
- Trusting random internet listings that are duplicated, stale, or mispriced.
- Skipping early due diligence on title, zoning, permits, restrictions, or condo docs.
- Underestimating total ownership costs (fees, maintenance, insurance, utilities).
- Moving too slowly and losing the property to a decisive buyer.
