There are few notions more romantic than owning your own home in the Caribbean . And when it all goes right it is wonderful, often the fulfilment of a dream. It is a venture fraught with pitfalls, however. There are the vagaries of a country that you do not know, with unfamiliar laws, and the sums of money are invariably large. You need to be sure that you ask all the right questions and have the best advice.

The Caribbean islands vary considerably in their real estate industries. Some are far more developed than others, in their properties certainly, but also in their services and ways of doing business. The more developed islands will be far slicker, but then the property is also likely to be more expensive. The laws are all different too.

Definitive Caribbean can cut through the maze for you . We have searched out the best real estate agents and companies in the islands. These may be individuals offering a very personalised service, or companies backed by large resources (though be aware that companies with an international name may only be as good as the individual on-island).

All the companies listed on this site have been carefully vetted and are there by invitation only.
