For many, owning property in The Bahamas represents the ultimate expression of island living—turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and an unparalleled sense of privacy and tranquility. Brent Cartwright helps clients turn that vision into reality.
Specializing in luxury homes, beachfront estates, and exceptional island properties, Brent works with buyers and sellers seeking the very best The Bahamas has to offer. From the vibrant communities of Nassau and Paradise Island to the serene beauty of the Exumas, Eleuthera, and Abaco, he guides clients toward properties that reflect both their lifestyle and investment goals.
The Bahamas has long attracted discerning international buyers thanks to its stable legal framework, strong property ownership protections, and welcoming environment for foreign investors. Combined with its tax-friendly structure and close proximity to North America, the islands offer a rare blend of luxury lifestyle and long-term investment value.
For foreign buyers, Brent and his team understand that purchasing real estate in another country requires trust, expertise, and careful guidance. They work closely with clients throughout the entire process—from identifying the right island and property to coordinating with attorneys, navigating government registration requirements, and ensuring a smooth closing.

Economic Permanent Residency
To obtain Economic Permanent Residency (EPR) in The Bahamas as a foreign purchaser as of 2026, applicants must meet updated investment thresholds and residency conditions introduced through recent legislative amendments. Effective January 1, 2025, the minimum qualifying investment has increased to $1 million BSD/USD. Eligible investments are restricted to the purchase of a completed residential property in The Bahamas.
While the standard threshold is set at $1 million, the government has historically offered expedited or "fast-track" consideration for buyers of higher-value real estate. Prospective applicants are advised to consult with a legal professional or the Bahamas Investment Authority to determine whether a specific property purchase may qualify for priority processing.
