This is the process we follow with every buyer. One case manager stays with you from the first step to the last, and brings in the broker, the accountant and the notary at the right moment.
Step 1. A first conversation (20 minutes)
A video call to understand what you are looking for: a home to move into, a base for part of the year, or an investment. Where, what budget, what timeline. We also answer the questions everyone has: can I buy, do I need to travel, how do I pay. It is free and there is no obligation.
Step 2. Documents to get started (you, 1 to 7 days)
To move forward we need three things from you:
- A scan of your passport.
- Your home address abroad.
- A power of attorney so our accountant can request your Argentine tax ID (CUIT) on your behalf. Signed at an Argentine consulate it needs no apostille; signed before a local notary it needs an apostille.
Step 3. Tax ID (accountant, 2 to 4 weeks)
Our accountant files your CUIT application with the tax authority (ARCA). You do nothing during this time, and the property search runs in parallel.
Step 4. Property search (broker + case manager, 2 to 6 weeks)
Our licensed broker builds a shortlist of three to five properties that match your brief. Your case manager translates each listing, explains the neighbourhood and the trade-offs, and presents them to you in a second video call. You can visit by video, or in person if you travel. We go back and forth until there is one you want.
Step 5. Reservation and title check (broker + notary, 1 to 3 weeks)
You reserve the property with a deposit, which takes it off the market. The notary then runs the title study: ownership, mortgages, liens, unpaid taxes, lawsuits, and the seller's capacity to sell. If anything is wrong, you get your deposit back and we go back to step 4. If it is clean, we continue.
Step 6. Preliminary contract, funds and deed (notary, 2 to 4 weeks)
Depending on the deal, you sign a preliminary contract (boleto de compraventa) and pay part of the price, or go straight to the deed. You transfer the funds through a registered channel, and the notary documents their origin. The deed (escritura) is signed before the notary, by you in person or by your attorney-in-fact, and is registered at the provincial property registry.
Step 7. Keys
You receive the keys, the utilities are transferred to your name, and we hand you a folder with every document of the purchase. If you are not in Córdoba, your broker holds the keys until you arrive or arranges the handover to whoever you designate.
What it costs, beyond the price
Every purchase carries closing costs on top of the price. The main items are the notary's fee, the provincial stamp tax, registration fees, and the broker's commission (in Córdoba, customarily paid by both buyer and seller). Together they usually add up to a single-digit percentage of the price. Before you reserve anything, we give you a written estimate for that specific property so there are no surprises.
Times are typical, not guaranteed: they depend on the seller, your bank and the tax authority. Last reviewed: September 2026.
