Bahamian real estate agents are the ultimate professionals when it comes to selling and buying homes in an island paradise. With an average listing price of $2 million and a booming economy, many families and individuals are looking to buy and sell their inland and waterfront homes.
And, international investors can take advantage of The Bahamas’ generous economic policy permitting them to purchase up to five acres without requiring written permission from the government. The policy helps hundreds, if not thousands of buyers from the United States, Canada, Britain, and Italy each year.
The truth is, there’s no better time to embrace a real estate opportunity in the Bahamas. The pandemic instigated a 9.2% spike in the average price for properties, and experts anticipate that number will continue to rise.
But as a foreign buyer, your knowledge of real estate Bahamas might not be as comprehensive as in your own country. That’s why it’s best to enlist the services of the best real estate agents in The Bahamas.
At Better Homes & Gardens MCR Bahamas, our agents are skilled in building long-lasting relationships with clients, have intimate knowledge of the Bahamian real estate market, and can provide you with resources that will guarantee you the best experience possible.

How to Choose the Best Real Estate Agent & Agency in the Bahamas
Since buying a property can be one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, you want to make sure you hire a strong real estate agent and agency. And this is especially true if you’re an international buyer and can’t always be on-site during the home-buying process.
Here are a few tips on choosing the best real estate agents Bahamas:
- Ask for references: Look for outstanding reviews and ask for contact information for clients that have successfully bought Bahamian properties with that agency. If the agency has trouble providing them, that’s a red flag.
- Look for full-time agents: Buying properties, especially foreign ones, can be more complicated. You want an agency that has full-time agents with the availability and schedule to be on top of the latest listings and trends. Part-time agents won’t reply as promptly, can’t spend as much time researching trends, and might not make important offers in time.
- Find agents with experience in the neighborhoods you’re interested in: Does the agent know which area you’re looking to buy? Have they bought and sold properties there in the past? Interview a few agents to find the ones that specialize in your ideal neighborhoods.
Reach out to Better Homes & Gardens MCR Bahamas today to get started with your Bahama purchasing journey.
