Testimonials
Thomas Mitchell2024-06-19 Joao and the Trinity team have been great to work with. Good knowledge of the local market, great service and a pleasure to work with. Katie Hanson2024-06-19 Joao was the absolute best in helping us navigate how to purchase a property from the USA in Nicaragua. When going about this new adventure, Joao helped us find the perfect property for our family and answered every question we had (which was a lot). He really helped us fall in love with Nicaragua. Once that was done, the hard work started in negotiating and getting thru the legal process of purchasing. He was on our side and available every step of the way. It’s daunting trying to figure out how to do this and Joao was the best guide we could have asked for. I’m so excited to now enjoy our own vacation home in Nicaragua! If we ever choose to upgrade to a new property, Joao will be the first person I call. Scott Avirett2024-06-10 Joao is a great communicator and wonderful realtor! Great service!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Get familiar with the most frequently asked questions about purchasing property in Nicaragua.
Yes, as long as you have a valid passport you can buy property in Nicaragua. You have the same rights to own property as naturalized Nicaraguans.
Yes, you do. We highly recommend finding an experienced and knowledgeable real estate transactional attorney who is reputable and practices in the area where you are purchasing the property. You will need the support of your attorney in the due diligence, closing documents, and the process of registering the property in your name.
- Find a realtor to represent you.
- Find and choose a property.
- Make an offer and get a contract in place with the accepted terms to follow.
- The lawyer will do a due diligence work to make sure the property is in good standing, without any liens, solvent of taxes, and that the survey coincides with what you are buying.
- Closing documents and finalizing payments.
- Register the property to your name.
Most transactions are made in cash payments. However, in some cases, we can find short-term financing options from sellers, and the conditions will vary with each transaction. Normally, the down payment is 30% and 50% of the sale price with maximum payment terms of 2 years with monthly payments. In Nicaragua, some banks are offering the opportunity of financing to foreigners with a prior study, but the down payments are a little higher and the mortgage terms are approximately 10 years.
Annual property taxes of 0.8% are paid on the assessed value of your property to the local municipality.
There are 3 ways to become a resident. These are the basics. We recommend talking to a reputable lawyer for more in-depth information about becoming a resident of Nicaragua:
- Investor:Â Foreign citizens can apply by investing US$30,000 to create a business or by investing in an existing business. The most important item to consider is that this must be a formalized and registered business in Nicaragua.
- Retiree:Â a person retired from a public or private institution who desires to be a permanent resident in Nicaragua and receives a minimum monthly pension equivalent to US$1,000.
- Person with private income:Â a person who has a stable and permanent income, such as dividends, lease, loans, credit, among others, from abroad, and desires to be a permanent resident in Nicaragua and receives a minimum monthly income equivalent to US$1,250 for at least 5 years.
Nicaragua is one of the safest countries in Central America, and San Juan del Sur and Tola are one of the safest places in Nicaragua. Crime is very low in Nicaragua and people are very friendly. The main problem we have seen is with petty theft, so don’t leave your camera, cash, or other valuables on the beach while you take a dip in the ocean. Just use common sense and you will be ok.
