Buying Property Abroad: Your Step-by-Step Guide |
For many people, the idea of buying property abroad evokes dreams of sunny beaches, scenic mountain villages, or bustling cosmopolitan cities. Whether you’re searching for a vacation home abroad, a potential international property investment, or a second home to enjoy during retirement, the allure of overseas real estate lies in its diversity. Different locations around the globe offer unique cultural experiences, potentially lower property prices than your home market, and attractive rental returns.
Nevertheless, purchasing real estate in a foreign country comes with its own set of challenges. Laws and regulations can differ considerably from what you’re used to, and factors like language barriers, currency fluctuations, and tax implications should not be overlooked. This guide will walk you through the key steps, from setting your personal goals to finalizing the foreign property purchase, so that your international venture feels both exciting and well-structured.

| Why Dual Citizenship Is The New American Dream |
A growing number of Americans are looking at dual citizenship as a fallback plan in times of widespread uncertainty and deepening political divisions, with young people leading the change.
A recent survey conducted by Harris Poll found that four in ten U.S. adults (42 percent) have considered or plan to relocate outside the country to improve their quality of life or financial position. Among Gen Zers, this number went up to 63 percent, while 52 percent of millennials were considering moving abroad. |

| Booker Group Wins Global Network Award |
Last month, we were honored to win the Engel & Völkers Chicago Global Network Pillar Award. This award celebrates our commitment to embracing the full potential of the Engel & Völkers platforms, and our dedication to promoting both the brand and our personal business with excellence.
Networking with our E&V colleagues in Illinois, the United States and throughout the world has become a unique pleasure, and has resulted in valuable information and Advisor connections for our clients.
Appropriately, the team won while Ellis and Erin were vacationing in Portugal and Spain, during which time they toured the Engel & Voelkers office in Lisbon. Back in Chicago, Carmen and Andrew accepted the award for the whole team.
