Hello, I’m Glenn Ferguson, a luxury Bahamas Real Estate Agent and Residency Consultant with over 24 years of experience helping high-net-worth buyers find exclusive properties in the Bahamas.

I specialize in guiding investors and homebuyers to discover beachfront estates, private villas, and vacation homes, offering personalized, concierge-level service to make the buying process seamless and stress-free.

As a real estate agent and residency consultant here in The Bahamas, I help high-net-worth individuals make strategic property decisions—and I can tell you this:

2025 is the year to invest in Bahamian luxury property.

Here’s why.


Quick Answer:

Buying luxury real estate in the Bahamas in 2025 is a smart investment due to rising demand, tax-free benefits, a stable political climate, and its dual function as a lifestyle asset and a residency pathway.



1. Zero Taxes. Full Ownership. 100% ROI Potential.

The Bahamas is a no-income tax, no capital gains tax, and no inheritance tax jurisdiction. When you buy property here, what you earn is yours to keep.

Investor benefits include:

  • No annual property tax on undeveloped land for up to 7 years

  • No restrictions on foreign ownership

  • No capital controls—move your money freely

2. Secure Residency by Investment

Buying luxury real estate also unlocks permanent residency for you and your family.

As your licensed residency consultant, I’ll guide you through the process.

Fast facts:

  • Minimum investment: $750,000 USD (for accelerated consideration)

  • Ideal for retirees, business owners, and second-home buyers

  • Residency granted in as little as 6–8 weeks

3. Skyrocketing Demand & Limited Inventory

The luxury market in The Bahamas is booming—and it’s not slowing down.

What’s driving it?

  • High-net-worth migration from the US, UK, and Canada

  • Digital nomads seeking island life with fibre-optic internet

  • Billionaire developments like Albany, The Residences at GoldWynn, and Aqualina

But inventory is tight, especially in hotspots like:

  • Paradise Island

  • Cable Beach

  • Lyford Cay

  • Eleuthera and Exuma beachfronts

4. Dual-Purpose Assets: Lifestyle + Passive Income

Many of my clients are buying luxury villas that serve two purposes:

  • A dream vacation home

  • A passive income generator via short-term rentals

Some properties yield 5–9% ROI annually with premium nightly rates.

5. Currency Stability & Political Safety

The Bahamian Dollar (BSD) is pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, giving you built-in currency protection.

And as one of the most politically stable nations in the region, The Bahamas is backed by:

  • A 300-year-old democratic system

  • A robust legal framework for property ownership

  • Strong ties with the UK and US


6. Lifestyle Like No Other

I live this every day—and so can you.

Here’s what you get with luxury property ownership in the Bahamas:

  • Year-round sun, sand, and sea

  • World-class golf, yachting, and private aviation

  • Concierge services, private chefs, and personal security

  • Direct flights to Miami, NYC, London, Toronto

This is not just real estate—it’s real freedom.
