International perspective

Buying from abroad, step by step

Distance changes coordination, not the importance of careful due diligence.

Assemble your professional team

Clarify property use and ownership objectives with qualified U.S. and home-country tax and legal advisors. Lending eligibility, ownership restrictions, and immigration are distinct issues.

Confirm the funding path

Ask the lender and escrow provider about identification, source-of-funds documentation, transfer timing, and signing requirements. Submit sensitive records only through their verified secure channels.

Keep remote coordination deliberate

Live video tours can help narrow a search, but they do not replace inspections. Confirm whether remote or consular signing is acceptable for your specific transaction. Always verify wiring instructions using a trusted phone number.

Educational information, not lending, legal, tax, or immigration advice. Buying a property does not grant U.S. residency or a visa.
