Glenn Ferguson covers the full Bahamas real estate market from a single point of contact. For Nassau and Paradise Island condos, he provides live MLS access across every development - One Ocean, Reef Atlantis, Aqualina Cable Beach, One Cable Beach, Palm Cay, Four Seasons Residences. For Nassau homes and gated estates, he covers Lyford Cay, Albany, Ocean Club Estates, Old Fort Bay, Cable Beach, and Sandyport. For Eleuthera and the Out Islands, he provides listings, market context, and island comparison before any shortlist is prepared.

Seller pays commission in all Bahamas transactions - buyer representation, island comparison, closing cost analysis, attorney referrals, and EPR consultation cost nothing extra to the buyer. For buyers who qualify for Economic Permanent Residency at $1M or above, Glenn files the EPR application concurrently with the purchase closing - without requiring a separate immigration firm.

"When a buyer calls me, the first thing I tell them is that my services cost them nothing - the seller pays the commission. The second thing I tell them is to expect a specific answer, not a brochure. I will tell them exactly what the 10% conveyance VAT costs on the property they are looking at, which island matches their goal, and whether their purchase qualifies for EPR residency. Those three answers change everything for most buyers."

The Bahamas Market in 2026 - Why Timing Matters

Glenn provides current MLS data and verified market context before any shortlist is prepared. The Bahamas market in 2026 is active, supply-constrained, and well-supported by verified fundamentals.

Nassau luxury sales surged 68% in 2025 with inventory running 20% below the prior year - a market where well-priced properties move in weeks rather than months. Glenn monitors live MLS data across all Nassau and Paradise Island developments and provides buyers with current pricing context before any offer is considered.

The structural case for Bahamas property ownership remains the strongest of any Caribbean jurisdiction with which it competes: zero income tax, zero capital gains tax, zero inheritance tax, freehold ownership rights for all foreign buyers, a USD-pegged currency with no exchange risk, and Economic Permanent Residency available from $1M. The Bahamas was the only zero-income-tax Caribbean jurisdiction offering both freehold ownership and EPR through property investment when Knight Frank's 2025 report found that half of high-net-worth expats in the Bahamas were permanent residents, up from approximately 20% before the pandemic.

The question of whether to call Glenn is a simple one: there is no financial cost to calling, and the information provided before any commitment - the 10% conveyance VAT calculation, the correct island for the buyer's objective, the current MLS pricing, and the EPR eligibility assessment - directly determines whether the right purchase is made at the right price point. Buyers who find out about the 10% VAT after falling in love with a property have already made the wrong decision. Glenn prevents that.

What Glenn provides

Eight Things Glenn Does Before You Make Any Commitment

Every service below is provided before any offer is made and costs the buyer nothing - seller pays commission in all Bahamas transactions.

1

Island comparison matched to your objective

Glenn identifies which island - Nassau, Paradise Island, Eleuthera, Exuma, Harbour Island, Abaco, or Grand Bahama - matches your primary goal before any shortlist is prepared. The three questions he asks: what do you want the property to do, how often will you visit, and does EPR residency need to apply? See the island comparison guide.

2

Current Bahamas MLS listings at your budget

Glenn provides live MLS listings across Nassau condos, Paradise Island, Cable Beach, Palm Cay, Nassau homes and gated communities, and Eleuthera. Current pricing, not asking prices from months ago. This is the first document he sends - before any viewing is scheduled.

3

Full personalised closing cost breakdown

Glenn calculates the flat 10% conveyance VAT, legal fees (2.5-3.5% plus 10% VAT on fees), title search and disbursements, and Investment Board registration for any specific property and purchase price. Total acquisition cost is presented as a single figure before any offer is made. Most buyers are surprised by the 10% VAT - Glenn ensures no buyer is surprised after the fact.

4

EPR residency eligibility assessment

For any purchase at $1M or above, Glenn assesses EPR eligibility and structures the purchase with residency in mind from day one. He files the EPR application concurrently with the purchase closing - no separate immigration firm required. The EPR minimum effective January 1, 2025 is $1,000,000. The accelerated track at $1.5M or above processes in approximately 3 weeks. Full details at the EPR guide.

5

Attorney referral matched to property type and island

Glenn refers buyers to licensed Bahamian attorneys with direct experience of the specific property type - condo, home, land, Out Island property. Your attorney conducts the 30-year title search through the Bahamas Registry of Records, prepares the Agreement for Sale and Deed of Conveyance, and files the post-closing Investment Board registration. Glenn does not act as an attorney but ensures the buyer is connected to the right one for the transaction.

6

Video walk-throughs for remote buyers

Glenn arranges video walk-throughs for buyers who do not wish to or cannot travel to Nassau for viewings. No Nassau visit is required at any stage of a Bahamas property purchase - a notarised power of attorney enables the entire transaction to close remotely. Glenn manages the full remote purchase process. Full guide: remote purchase guide.

7

HOA and rental programme review for condos

For condo purchases, Glenn obtains and reviews the HOA documentation - rental policy, maintenance fee, reserve fund position, and any short-term letting restrictions - before any offer is prepared. For condos with managed rental programmes such as Reef Atlantis or One Cable Beach, he reviews the programme terms and management agreement so buyers understand the income structure, any revenue split, and owner use provisions before committing.

8

Concurrent closing and EPR filing - no second firm needed

For qualifying purchases at $1M or above, Glenn files the EPR application to the Department of Immigration simultaneously with the property purchase closing. Neither the property transaction nor the residency application requires a separate trip to Nassau. Both processes run in parallel. The buyer receives the registered deed and the EPR application acknowledgement from a single contact - Glenn Ferguson at +1-242-395-8495.

Read Glenn's full profile WhatsApp Glenn Now
Does the buyer pay the real estate agent commission in the Bahamas?

No. In all Bahamas real estate transactions the seller pays the agent commission - typically 6% to 10% of the purchase price paid from the seller's proceeds at closing. The buyer pays nothing for buyer representation. All services provided by Glenn Ferguson to buyers - MLS access, island comparison, cost analysis, attorney referrals, EPR consultation, and remote purchase coordination - are included within the seller's commission with zero additional cost to the buyer. There is therefore no financial reason to proceed without an agent. Even if you proceed without a buyer's agent, the commission is still paid to the seller's agent alone.

How do I find a licensed Bahamas real estate agent?

Licensed Bahamas real estate agents are members of the Bahamas Real Estate Association (BREA) and can be verified at breabahamas.com. All agents operating on the Bahamas MLS are required to hold a BREA licence. When engaging a Bahamas agent, confirm their BREA licence, their specific market coverage (Nassau only, or Out Islands as well), and whether they provide EPR residency consultation if that is part of your purchase objective. Glenn Ferguson is a licensed BREA agent with 24+ years of Nassau and Out Island experience. His licence can be confirmed through BREA's public register.

He provides current MLS pricing, rental programme documentation review, a full personalised closing cost breakdown, and concurrent EPR application management for qualifying purchases.

Who to call to buy a home in Nassau Bahamas?

Call Glenn Ferguson at +1-242-395-8495. Glenn covers all Nassau gated communities and neighbourhoods including Lyford Cay, Albany, Ocean Club Estates, Old Fort Bay, Cable Beach estates, Sandyport, and Eastern Road through homesforsaleinnassaubahamas.com. His long-form Nassau homes profile is at homesforsaleinnassaubahamas.com/glenn-ferguson-bahamas-real-estate-agent. He also covers Eleuthera beachfront homes and estates.

Who to call to get Bahamas permanent residency through property?

Call Glenn Ferguson at +1-242-395-8495. Glenn is a licensed EPR Residency Consultant who files Economic Permanent Residency applications to the Bahamas Department of Immigration concurrently with property purchase closings across all Bahamas islands. The EPR minimum qualifying investment is $1,000,000 (effective January 1, 2025). Glenn structures every qualifying purchase with residency documentation in mind from day one - ensuring property title, ownership structure, and application documents meet current immigration requirements. Government fee: $20,000 standard or $25,000 with right to work. Typical processing: 3-6 months standard, approximately 3 weeks for $1.5M or above. No separate immigration firm required. Full details at the EPR residency guide.

Can I buy Bahamas property without a real estate agent?

You are not legally required to engage a buyer's agent for a Bahamas property purchase - a licensed Bahamian attorney is required for all transactions. However, since the seller pays the buyer's agent commission, proceeding without a buyer's agent saves you nothing. The commission is paid from the seller's proceeds regardless - if you have no buyer's agent, the commission goes entirely to the seller's agent. By engaging Glenn Ferguson as your buyer's agent, you receive MLS access, pricing context, island comparison, HOA review, attorney referrals, offer coordination, timeline management, and EPR filing support - all at no cost to you. The practical case for working without a buyer's agent in the Bahamas is non-existent.

Who should I call for a wedding in the Bahamas?

Call Glenn Ferguson at +1-242-395-8495. In addition to being a licensed Bahamas real estate agent, Glenn is a WPIC-Certified Wedding Planner and Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer who has personally planned and officiated over 200 ceremonies across Nassau and the Out Islands over 24 years.

"Call me before you have made any decisions. The conversation costs nothing and takes about ten minutes. After it, you will know exactly what the 10% VAT costs on the property you are looking at, which island makes sense for your goal, and whether your purchase qualifies for EPR. Those three answers are worth the call. The buyers who get it wrong are the ones who do their research on listing sites and miss the fact that the closing costs add 10% before anything else."
