This is a question we are asked regularly. When people want to buy a house in Curaçao, they often look for a well-functioning website that lists all real estate agents selling properties on the island. Similar to Funda in the Netherlands, where the entire housing market is neatly organized. While Funda does have a small international section, Curaçao is not included in it.

Alternatives to Funda on Curaçao

At International Fine Living, we have approached Funda multiple times to include Curaçao in their listings. Curaçao is an attractive market for Dutch people looking to buy a home here and is also part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Unfortunately, Funda lacks the capacity to add Curaçao as a search area.

Over the years, various parties have tried to create a Funda-like platform for Curaçao. Sadly, none of these initiatives have proven sustainable.

Franchise Agents and Independent Brokers

The real estate market in Curaçao is highly fragmented. There are many active real estate agents, with new ones entering the market each year while others stop after a short time. There are also a few franchise chains on the island, but their staffing levels often fluctuate.

Many independent brokers operate here, but not all are familiar with the correct legal steps, rules, or verification processes. For example, the notary in Curaçao must be provided with the correct documentation once you are in the buying process.

Who ensures that the closing costs for your property in Curaçao are accurately calculated? Are you sure the seller of a house is the actual owner? These are critical questions that emphasize the importance of choosing the right real estate agent.

International Fine Living is the only real estate agency in Curaçao with a lawyer at the helm. Additionally, we are the only agency on the island that is part of the prestigious Qualis network in the Netherlands – a select group of agencies that serve the high-end market with a personal and professional approach.

As a buyer in Curaçao, you can take full advantage of this knowledge and experience for free with International Fine Living.

A "Funda Curaçao" Service for Homebuyers

Given the lack of a comprehensive and up-to-date property listing platform for Curaçao, you can hire us as your personal buying agent – completely free of charge. What you see on the websites of various Curaçao real estate agents is often neither the full nor the most current inventory of available homes.

We act as your personal "Funda," offering the following services:

Once you've decided to purchase a house or apartment in Curaçao, contact us first – before reaching out to another agent or requesting information about a property. By making us your first point of contact, we can not only search for your dream home both on and off the market but also provide tailored advice about neighborhoods, schools, or other local amenities that match your needs.
