'Real Estate on San Andres Island' San Andres

Andy from England from UK (Contact Member) -

I am wishing to purchase a home to rent out to holiday makers and would be grateful if anyone could please advise me of any Real Estate Agents on the Island, or if they know of any suitable properties for sale.

Also any advice on foreigners buying on the island would be nice.

Thanks

Hi,

My husband and I are planning to move out of Miami, Florida

to perhaps live in San Andres Colombia, but I have not been there. My husband is from medellin and he said it was really nice and that it would be a great life style. Can anyone tell me or give me any information? It seems that all the information I can find on the Internet is for temporaty stays and tours for vacation. I need to know the day to day life information for permanent stay: housing, jobs, people, economy ect...

Maybe someone can help me figure out if moving to San Andres would be a wise idea for a person who has never been anywhere but Florida.

Thanks! I would really appreciate any information.

I think it would be an excellent idea for you to visit the Island for a month or so to get a feel. Since you'll have to flying through Panama or the Mainland of Colombia to get there you might plan on spending some time in those places too.

Check out the Mary May Inn on San Andres it's not fancy, but you can't beat the price or the people that work there.

San Andres now has at least a couple places with Wifi you can use.

Living on San Andres you'll find a number of issues: I don't think as an American you could possible think about getting a job there. You'll need to get Colombian residency and then you'll need to get San Andres residency.

Unless you have San Andres residency you are limited to the time you can spend on the Island each year (Colombian or not).

The Island is very small so unless you are into the beach you may find activities limited.

I love the place... when I step out of the airport there is always a taxi driver or two that greets me by name. Though I could (and would) walk to my Hotel.

Hey there,

San Andres is awesome! with a developed hotel/shopping side and a wild, untouched side too, totally Carribean in culture and direct flights from Canada etc. I know people with property there, and pretty much unlimited stay for you with no more than US passport.

What exactly are you looking for?

I would like if a real Esate agent can get in contact with me as am interested in buying a property and renting out to holiday makers.

Ive just come back from Medellin and went to the Island for a week, and was amazed how the island took my heart, i would one day like to retire there but, right now as am under my 30's am very willing to give it a go in buying a property to rent.

Please could someone get in contact with me.

Thank you

I think it is not a good idea to just wait there for a return post. I think it would ve much better if you do the search for yourself. Have you tried searching the net for some information that will answer your questions? Or try in your locality, search for information from your acquaintances there. I am sure you will find answers. Just do your best in searching. I bet you can find the best response.

I am a dentist currently working in the US. I am trying to sell my present business and move to the Carribean. I am looking for a property to live and operate a small dental clinic. I am curious as to the present resident population on /san andres and providentia.
