Bahamas Luxury Real Estate

After 24+ years helping people find their place in the Bahamas, I've noticed something about the families who actually make the move — not just buy a holiday home, but build a life here.
They almost always start with a question about residency.

So I finally sat down and wrote the complete 2026 guide to Bahamas permanent residency through property. Everything someone actually needs to know before they call me:
What it really costs. How long it really takes. The new 10-year hold rule that came in last year and quietly changed which properties make sense. Whether you have to live here full-time (you don't — 90 days a year is the expressed intention). What it means for your taxes. And the honest trade-offs most sales pages won't mention.

A few things that surprise people every time:
Zero income tax. Zero capital gains tax. Zero inheritance tax. The Bahamian dollar is locked 1:1 with the US dollar, so there's no currency guessing game. Nassau is under three hours from Miami. And after 10 years, there's a genuine pathway to citizenship.

The part I care most about: I handle the property purchase AND the residency application together, as one process. No separate immigration firm, no two sets of fees, no playing telephone between organisations. And because the seller pays commission here, buyer representation costs you nothing.

If the Bahamas has been on your mind — for retirement, for the family, for a second home that could become a first one — this guide will answer most of your questions before we even talk.
