Diplomats / International Clients / Foreign Nationals

Long distance has never been so easy

International clients often encounter specific challenges on their real estate journeys in the U.S. Foreign nationals face shared obstacles like extra paperwork and complex mortgages and taxes. Still, it would be a farce to lump all international buyers together. Every client has different needs, whether based in the U.S. or buying from outside the country.

Thankfully, we are here to help. Our team has extensive professional experience assisting international clients with all their real estate needs and concerns. Our expert services prove to our clients that distance is no barrier to reaching your goals.

Challenges you face

As an international buyer, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn the U.S. has no citizenship requirement for real estate sales. But the conditions for foreign national buyers get more stringent the closer you look into the process. 

Unestablished credit. As a foreign national or immigrant, you might lack a credit score in the U.S. Even if you began establishing a line of credit, your history might be too shallow for some lenders.

Completing paperwork. It’s not easy for world citizens to lay the foundation to buy property in the U.S. In addition to the standard paperwork, international buyers face complex tax situations. 
 
Cannot attend in-person showings. As video technology improves and remote meetings become the norm, buying real estate without seeing the place in person is more feasible. However, as a buyer taking this route, you must work with a trustworthy agent.
