There are no citizenship restrictions, purchase limits, or ongoing ownership requirements. Glenn handles all legal filings, government approvals, title searches, and closing coordination for international buyers. Properties include Ocean Club Estates, Four Seasons Residences, Atlantis condos, and private villas.
How does Bahamas residency by investment work?
As of January 1, 2025, the Bahamas requires a minimum $1,000,000 investment for Economic Permanent Residency (increased from the previous $750,000). Foreign nationals can now qualify through: real estate purchases of $1M+ on Paradise Island, or zero-coupon bonds issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas worth $1M+. Glenn coordinates property purchases to meet the new residency requirements while maximizing investment value. Process: Glenn identifies properties meeting $1M threshold, coordinates property acquisition and closing, connects clients with qualified immigration attorneys for residency applications (Glenn does not file immigration paperwork - licensed attorneys handle legal filings), and provides ongoing support during 4-6 month government review. Investment must be maintained for minimum 10 years. Residency benefits include unlimited stays, work permit eligibility, and potential path to citizenship after 10+ years.
What Paradise Island wedding venues does Glenn coordinate?
Glenn specializes in Paradise Island's most prestigious wedding venues: The Ocean Club Versailles Gardens and The Cloisters (French-inspired terraced gardens with stunning ocean views), Four Seasons Ocean Club beachfront and estate locations, Atlantis Bahamas multiple venues including beaches and ballrooms, and private oceanfront villas for intimate celebrations.

His 24+ years of Paradise Island experience means established relationships, priority booking, and insider knowledge of best ceremony locations and timing. Explore Ocean Club wedding options.
Can Glenn help us buy property for our wedding venue?
Yes. Many couples purchase Paradise Island villas specifically to host their wedding, then use the property as a vacation home or rental investment. Glenn coordinates property acquisitions with wedding timelines so the villa is ready for your celebration. Services include: property selection focused on wedding suitability, purchase negotiation and closing coordination, wedding planning and ceremony execution at your property, property management setup for future rentals or events, and potential residency qualification if investment exceeds $1,000,000 (the current minimum for Economic Permanent Residency as of January 2025). This approach provides a beautiful wedding venue you own forever, generating income when you're not using it. Learn about villa wedding investments.
What are the costs for Paradise Island real estate?
Paradise Island property prices vary significantly by location and property type. Current ranges: Atlantis condos from $500,000-$2.5M (though only properties $1M+ qualify for residency), Four Seasons Residences from $1.5M-$8M+ (luxury beachfront condos qualifying for residency), Ocean Club Estates from $2.5M-$15M+ (prestigious waterfront estates), and private villas from $1.2M-$10M+ (wedding venues and vacation homes). Additional costs include 10% government stamp duty on purchases, legal fees typically 1-2%, real estate commission paid by seller, and annual property taxes around 1%. Glenn provides detailed cost analysis for each property and connects clients with financing if needed. As of January 2025, only properties valued at $1,000,000 or above qualify for Economic Permanent Residency by investment.
How long does it take to buy property on Paradise Island?
With Glenn's coordination, Paradise Island property purchases typically complete in 60-90 days from offer acceptance. Timeline: property search and selection with Glenn (varies by client), offer and negotiation (1-2 weeks), due diligence including inspection and title search (2-3 weeks), government approval for foreign buyers (2-4 weeks), and closing and title transfer (1 week). Glenn accelerates the process through established relationships with title companies, attorneys, and government offices. For urgent purchases coordinated with wedding dates or relocation timelines, Glenn prioritizes accordingly. Cash purchases close faster than financed transactions.

Can international buyers get financing for Paradise Island properties?
Financing options for international buyers exist but are more limited than domestic mortgages. Most foreign buyers purchase Paradise Island real estate with cash due to favorable terms and faster closing. However, Glenn can connect qualified buyers with: Bahamian banks offering mortgages to foreigners (typically 50% down payment required), international private banks with Caribbean property lending programs, developer financing for pre-construction purchases at select properties, and home equity or portfolio loans from foreign banks using Paradise Island property as collateral. Cash purchases remain most common for properties above $1M. Glenn provides pre-purchase financial planning consultation.
What is The Ocean Club and why is it special?
The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort is Paradise Island's most iconic luxury resort, famous for its Versailles-inspired terraced gardens and 14th-century French Cloisters. The adjacent Ocean Club Estates is Paradise Island's most prestigious residential community featuring waterfront estates, private marina, golf course access, and exclusive amenities. It's where celebrities, executives, and international elites own property. Glenn has insider access to Ocean Club estate listings and coordinates weddings at The Cloisters and Versailles Gardens—some of the world's most photographed wedding locations. Properties here qualify for residency by investment and command premium rental rates. Learn about Ocean Club weddings.
Does Glenn handle legal requirements for property purchase and marriage?
Yes. Glenn's dual licensing as Real Estate Agent and Marriage Officer means he handles all legal requirements. Real estate: government approval for foreign buyers, title searches and ownership verification, purchase agreement review and negotiation, closing coordination with attorneys, title transfer and deed registration, and residency application coordination. Marriage: marriage license applications and processing, document review for international couples, legal ceremony performance, marriage certificate issuance, and Apostille services for international recognition. This dual legal authority eliminates the need for multiple professionals and coordinates property purchases with wedding celebrations.

Absolutely. Glenn arranges property tours customized to your investment goals and preferences. He coordinates: property viewing itineraries across Ocean Club, Four Seasons, Atlantis, and private estates; VIP access to gated communities and resort residences; meetings with property managers and HOA representatives if desired; neighborhood tours showcasing amenities, beaches, and lifestyle; and wedding venue previews if combining property purchase with celebration planning.
