Who We Serve

International Buyers from Every Corner of the World

South Florida's diversity is one of its greatest strengths. Jacob and his team have worked with buyers from over 30 countries, bringing cultural fluency and transaction expertise to every cross-border deal.

Latin America & Canada

The largest international buyer groups in South Florida. Whether from Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, or Toronto, Jacob has deep experience navigating currency, financing, and ownership structures for cross-border buyers.

🌍

Europe & UK

European buyers seeking a North American lifestyle base, tax-efficient ownership, and a gateway to the US market. South Florida's time zone, flight access, and multilingual communities make it an ideal choice.

The International Buyer Process

How Jacob Guides International Buyers

From your first inquiry to your first night in your South Florida home — every step, handled.

Choose Your Ownership Structure

International buyers can purchase as individuals, through LLCs, trusts, or foreign corporations. Each has different tax, privacy, and estate implications. Jacob connects you with Florida real estate attorneys who specialize in international transactions.

Financing or Cash Purchase

Many international buyers purchase in cash, but US financing is available for foreign nationals. Jacob works with lenders who offer ITIN-based loans, foreign national mortgages, and portfolio loans with no US credit history required.

FIRPTA & Tax Considerations

The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) affects how proceeds are handled when selling. Jacob's network of international tax CPAs ensures your purchase and eventual sale are structured to minimize tax exposure.

Remote Closing Capability

You don't need to be in the US to close on your South Florida property. Jacob coordinates remote and virtual closings, international wire transfers, and digital document signing through trusted title companies with global experience.

Property Management (If Not Full-Time)

If you're purchasing as a vacation home or investment, Jacob connects you with trusted property management companies that handle rentals, maintenance, and guest services while you're abroad.

Move-In Support

When you're ready to relocate, Jacob's full relocation network activates — international movers, visa referrals, school enrollment, utility setup, and community introductions tailored to your home country background.
