There are tax and legal ramifications that you need to understand before buying property in the US. It's good if you have an excellent international lawyer and international accountant, but if you don't, we strongly advise you to get these two very important professionals on your side immediately!

From living in Central America for almost 20 years (Belize, Antigua, BVI) I have many years of international experience to understand better where you are coming from. I've used this experience to augment the courses I took to become a "Certified International Property Specialist". This designation is sponsored by NAR (the National Association of Realtors) and recognized by over 40 countries world wide.

Besides being able to recommend experts in their respective fields, I have a good working knowledge of what needs to be done for international clients DIFFERENTLY and how to communicate with you. With a decent working knowledge of French and Spanish, I also understand cultural differences and needs. I can't write contracts in foreign languages, but I'm a good communicator and guide.

With my background I can understand the needs and cultural differences of foreigners who are contemplating buying property in the United States and can recommend a team of related professionals in international law and international accounting. I have worked with some of the best firms in New York and can strongly recommend them.

I'm also capable of having a laugh at my own expense! Ever hear this one?.

I can send you more details and a spreadsheet on your market segment to help you understand the Telluride real estate market and to help you choose the best property for you!
