Real Estate Legal Services

Here are the normal steps to purchase real estate in Colombia

01

Legal Representation & Open a Brokerage Account

First, you'll need to open a brokerage account with a Colombian institution. I highly recommend Alianza Valores — they specialize in international transactions and make converting your funds from USD to COP straightforward and secure. Please note that this process typically takes 2–3 weeks, so the sooner you get started, the better.

02

Central Bank Registration

Once your account is open, you will need legal representation to file the required forms with the Banco de la República (Colombian Central Bank). This is one of the most critical parts of the process, and it's something we handle for you from start to finish.

03

Full Legal Protection

From the moment you open your brokerage account until the property is officially yours, we provide full legal representation throughout the entire process.

What we handle for you?

Power of Attorney (POA)

Allows us to legally act on your behalf while you're abroad, so you don't need to be present for every step of the process.

Title Study

We confirm ownership and uncover any potential issues — mortgages, liens, or encumbrances — before you commit a single dollar.

Purchase Agreement

We draft and review the contract to make sure everything is in your favor and protects your interests.

Purchase Deed (Escritura)

We finalize the purchase deed to officially transfer the title to you with all legal protections in place.

Property Registration

We handle the final registration so that everything is legally and officially yours.
