Buying process
1. Intake
We begin with a personal consultation to understand your wishes and goals. We discuss your preferred location, property type, size, lifestyle needs, and budget. This allows us to create a clear profile and focus the search on properties that truly match your expectations.
2. Selection of Properties
Based on your criteria, we carefully search the market and present a selection of suitable properties. We review these options together and help you identify the homes that best fit your needs and interests.
3. Viewings
Once you have selected the properties you would like to see, we schedule viewings and visit them together. During these visits, we thoroughly evaluate the condition, location, and overall value of each property, ensuring you can make a confident and informed decision.
4. Negotiations
When you have found the right property, we guide you through the negotiation process. We provide professional advice on market value and negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible price and terms.
5. Compliance and Purchase Agreement
After reaching an agreement with the seller, the compliance process begins. In Aruba, this is a legal requirement to verify the source of funds. Once compliance is completed, the purchase agreement is prepared and signed, officially confirming the transaction.
6. Notary and Transfer of Ownership
All legal documentation is handled by the notary of your choice. The transfer process typically takes up to three months. On the day of transfer, we conduct a final inspection of the property. Once everything is confirmed, the notary completes the official transfer, and you become the legal owner of your new property in Aruba.
