Properties Beyond Borders
Buy property abroad with CIPS-certified expertise.
Your Gateway to Global Property Ownership
Whether you’re dreaming of a beachfront villa in the Caribbean, a retreat in the Andes, a pied-à-terre in Lisbon, or a rental investment in Panama — Real Hodge Group brings the certified expertise to make it happen. As CIPS-designated specialists, we have the global connections and local knowledge to guide South Florida residents through every step of purchasing property abroad.
From identifying the right destination to navigating foreign legal systems, currency considerations, and international closing procedures, we are your trusted partner from initial search to final deed transfer.
The Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation is held by fewer than 4,000 REALTORS® worldwide — representing advanced training in international transactions, cross-border financing, and global market dynamics.
How We Help You Buy Abroad
Purchasing property in a foreign country introduces complexity that domestic transactions don’t. Our role is to guide you — and protect your interests — at every stage.
Destination Strategy
We match your lifestyle goals, investment objectives, and residency needs to the right market and property type across the globe.
Vetted Global Network
Through the CIPS network we connect you with trusted real estate attorneys, notaries, and buyer’s agents in your target country.
Currency & Financing
We coordinate with currency specialists, advise on local financing vs. U.S.-based alternatives, and help minimize exchange rate risk.
U.S. Tax & Reporting Obligations
U.S. citizens and residents who purchase foreign property may have FBAR, FATCA, and other IRS reporting obligations. We strongly recommend consulting with a U.S. international tax attorney before completing a foreign purchase. Real Hodge Group can provide referrals to qualified professionals who specialize in cross-border real estate.
