Secure property acquisition in Argentina. We guide foreign buyers through every step, from property due diligence to closing coordination.
Argentina offers attractive real estate opportunities for foreign buyers, with no restrictions on foreign ownership of property. Whether you're purchasing a urban apartment in Buenos Aires, a rural estancia, or commercial space, understanding the local process is essential.
The Argentine real estate transaction process differs significantly from other countries—most notably in the use of cash (USD) at closing and the role of the Escribano (notary public). We ensure you navigate these differences smoothly.

Yes, it's true—Argentine real estate transactions typically close in physical US dollars. At the Escritura, the buyer brings the balance of the purchase price in cash, counted and verified at the notary's office. This practice, while unusual to foreigners, is standard and safe when properly executed.
