It’s a small but stable market. Start by choosing a reputable Real Estate Agent, in Aruba, because of the size of the community you can go on word of mouth but generally make sure that the company you choose is registered at the Central Bank Of Aruba and that they are member of the Aruban Real Estate Association.

The first step is to make an offer. Once the price has been agreed upon, the purchase agreement will be signed and a 10% deposit is paid within three to five days from the signing. The notary will then obtain and accumulate data to determine if there are any unsettled and conflicting charges against the property, and to determine the tax value of the property, which determines the stamp duty payable. This whole process takes about six to eight weeks.
