Step 1: Explore the Market & Choose the Right Area

Before making any purchase, it’s crucial to understand the local real estate market. Research the different neighborhoods, property values, and trends. Popular areas for expatriates and investors include Willemstad, Jan Thiel, and Blue Bay. Each area offers unique benefits, such as proximity to the beach, vibrant nightlife, or serene residential settings.

Step 2: Find a Trusted Real Estate Agent

A local real estate agent can help you find the right property, guide you through the process, and handle local procedures. Choose someone experienced with international buyers and the Curacao market.

Step 3: Understand Legal & Financial Requirements

Foreigners can buy property in Curacao without restrictions, but hiring a local attorney is highly recommended to handle legal paperwork. If you need financing, explore mortgage options for non-residents with local banks.

Step 4: Inspect, Evaluate, and Negotiate

Once you find a property, hire a professional inspector to assess the condition and ensure there are no hidden issues. Get a valuation to confirm the asking price is reasonable. Then, make an offer and negotiate the terms with help from your agent.

Step 5: Close the Deal & Manage Your Property

Once your offer is accepted, sign the purchase agreement. The closing process includes signing the deed in front of a notary and registering the property. After purchase, arrange for insurance, utilities, and consider a property manager if you're not a full-time resident.

Pim, it’s a great pleasure that we write this testimonial to your wonderful service. Our journey with Pim van Ogtrop and Remax Bonbini started in Switzerland when we decided to buy a second home in Curacao. We found you on the internet along with 4 other realtors who we asked to send us property listings. At first we were looking for a home under $200,000 and you made us feel just as important as the buyer with the multi-million dollar budget. You were the only agent that was consistent...
