Welcome to Barbados Property Finder

Barbados Property Finder is led by Mike Ashton, a member of the Barbados Estate Agents and Valuers Association (BEAVA) who has lived in Barbados for 10 years. We act only for buyers. We don’t list property, so our advice isn’t tied to any seller’s stock.

  • What we do: buyer representation. We search, shortlist, view, negotiate and see your purchase through to completion.
  • Who we help: buyers from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and international investors.
  • Typical budget: from US$1 million, with a focus on the West Coast (St James and St Peter) and the island’s established resort communities.
  • Fees: none to the buyer. The seller pays the agent’s commission.
  • Based in: St James, Barbados.

Home Buying, Connected

Most luxury property in Barbados is marketed by listing agents, who are paid to get the best result for the seller. As your buyer’s agent, Mike works on your side: he tracks what is for sale across the island, hears about homes that are available privately, and tells you plainly when a property isn’t right or isn’t worth the asking price.

Buying is only part of the move. Mike can also point you to the right people for schools, healthcare, banking and settling in, so the move to island life is as smooth as the purchase.

Tell us what you want and your budget. Mike searches every listed and off-market home in Barbados for you, and acts only on your side.

You pay no fee: the seller pays the agent’s commission.

Barbados offers what many overseas buyers look for: English as the first language, a legal system based on English common law, no restrictions on foreign ownership, no capital gains tax on property, and direct flights to North America and the UK. As your independent buyer’s agent, Mike helps you find the right home in the right place, from a private estate on the West Coast to a resort residence with golf or the beach on your doorstep.
