Are you looking for a land investment in Belize? Secret Beach offers some of the most interesting land opportunities in Ambergris Caye. Here’s why.
Finding deals without MLS
Belize has no official MLS system. This means you will need to dig a little deeper if you want to find the best deals on land at Secret Beach. Each office and each real estate agent will have access to different listings.
Does this mean you need to reach out to every real estate agent in the country to find the best deals? No, probably not. If you wanted to you might find a good deal but there are easier ways to find a great deal.
Who are the best real estate agents in San Pedro, Belize?
Different agents specialize in different property types. Many agents work with land listings, so finding the most knowledgeable agents in the land game is important. But how do you find the best agents?
One way to get started is to download the free list of real estate agents in Belize here. We have created a huge list of all the real estate agents in the area who might be able to help you.
However, to save time and effort, there are a few easier ways to find the best land deals in Secret Beach. Search a website like Point2Homes that has a large database of land listings in Belize.
But often these listings may be out-of-date. So the best way to start finding who the best land agents are is to reach out to the agents and brokers who seem to have a number of listings on these public sites.
Even if these listings are out of date, it’s likely that the agents who advertise on these websites will have a fair amount of inventory available. So reach out to them directly and ask for a list of updated land listings. Also, ask for parcel numbers or have them provide you with a map that shows the exact location. Sometimes, land listings are vague and don’t provide enough information for you to make a decision online.
Work with few to find many
Real estate agents throughout the world would prefer it if you worked with them exclusively. Agents in Belize are no different. This makes sense. If they are going to put effort into finding you what you want they would like to know their efforts will be rewarded.
The top agents in Belize who focus on land at Secret Beach will have a good pulse on the market and what inventory is available. The top offices in the area will cooperate and share listings with each other because they know that working together will bring more success.
So, working with too many agents at once probably won’t help you find the best land deals. Start with one or two agents you like and see how they perform. Are they responsive? Are they providing guidance and value opinions? You don’t need to be exclusive but you shouldn’t spread yourself too thin.
It won’t give you that much more insight, and you’ll probably turn off the agents you are working with where they won’t want to commit to you if you haven’t given them an opportunity to earn your business.
Hire and Fire fast
Inventory changes quickly. If your agent isn’t performing, move on. Keep a list of the parcel numbers you obtain and compare to the listings other agents give you. That way you can find exclusive deals and negotiate the best prices.
Also, consider your buying strategy and investment objective. Are you looking for land at Secret Beach to buy and hold for long-term appreciation, also called land-banking. Or, are you looking to find a dream location to build your Caribbean dream home? Others are looking for the perfect spot to build a rental property for income.
No matter what your strategy, have a clear objective so you and your agent will be able to find the right land that’s just right for you.
