BUYER'S GUIDE
01 FIND YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT
The first and most vital step is to meet with a trusted real estate professional to outline your wants, needs, and any other expectations you may have.
For you as a buyer there are no cost involved in getting a realtor. However, this is one of the most vital aspects of the coming transaction.
At Caribbean GOLD we can explain the current state of the market, offer insight into recent statistics, and answer all the questions you may have.
In addition to gain all the insight from someone who lives on the island year-round, we can offer a wealth of knowledge on the whole buying process.
02 BUYER'S CONSULT
Embarking on the journey of purchasing real estate in Aruba is an exciting endeavor, and our commitment is to ensure that your experience is seamless and tailored to your unique needs.
At Caribbean GOLD, our buyer consultations are more than just discussions about properties; they are personalized sessions designed to understand your vision, preferences, and investment goals. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the intricacies of the Aruban real estate market, providing insights into legalities, financing options, and the nuances of property ownership.
During your consultation, we will take the time to answer your questions, address concerns, and outline the step-by-step process of acquiring your dream property in Aruba.
03 THE HOME SEARCH
After we've had the buyer's consult, and you have secured financing and/or set up a budget, we can start picking out properties. As we navigate through our diverse real estate market, we take a moment to envision the unique experiences that each neighborhood offers. We consider your lifestyle preferences, provide insights into property values, local amenities, and the distinctive features of each community.
04 VIEWING PROPERTIES
When we decided on the properties you'd like to see, we will be able to set appointments to view homes, whether it be in-person, virtually, or a combination of both.
Caribbean GOLD is adequately equipped to handle buyers from all corners of the globe throughout every step of the real estate process.
05 OFFERS AND NEGOTIATIONS
Once we found your dream home Caribbean GOLD will present an offer on your behalf to the sellers. The sellers can accept or reject your offer, but most probably they will present a counter offer.
Once both parties have fully agreed on the price and each individual detail we can go on to the next step.
06 INSPECTION
Once there is a price agreement it's possible to schedule a professional inspection when this is taken into the offer. Based on the inspection you can either cancel the purchase, go ahead, or negotiate on the outcome.
07 COMPLIANCE
In Aruba, our real estate transactions adhere to a thorough compliance process to ensure a smooth and secure property acquisition experience. Our team works closely with local authorities to guarantee that all transactions comply with Aruba's regulatory framework, which is designed to protect both buyers and sellers.
08 SIGNING THE CONTRACT
When it comes to signing the contract, it marks a significant milestone in your real estate journey. Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and transparent process. Prior to signing, we will guide you through the terms and conditions of the contract, answering any questions you may have.
Once everything is clear and both parties signed the contract, both sides will receive executed copies. The contract will then go to the notary and the buyer will proceed onward into escrow.
09 CLOSING DAY
Once all the I’s have been dotted, it will be time to close! Normally the timeframe from signing the contract till the moment of closing will take 2 to 3 months.
The notary will inform both parties about a closing date, and the final payment will be made. Shortly after you should expect confirmation of your official closing day. The deed of transfer will be signed in the presence of the notary, and you will receive the keys of your new dream home in paradise.
Buying property in the Caribbean is something many people only ever dream of. Most never move forward on this aspiration because they simply aren’t sure of where to start. We at Caribbean GOLD strive to not only assist you in pursuing your dreams, but to make the process memorable, smooth, and exciting.
