International Real Estate | Selling in Central Florida

International Experience, Local Expertise

Selling a property in Central Florida while living in another country can come with additional considerations. At The Florida Property Shop, Broker/Owner Sarah Gholami and her team have experience working with international buyers, sellers, and property owners. We understand the importance of clear communication, local market knowledge, and having trusted guidance throughout the process, whether you’re nearby or thousands of miles away.

Understanding FIRPTA

If you’re a foreign owner selling property in the United States, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) may apply to your transaction. This federal law generally requires a portion of the sale proceeds to be withheld for tax purposes. Withholding requirements depend on the circumstances, and certain exceptions or reductions may be available. Understanding these requirements early can help you prepare for a smoother closing.

Guidance Every Step of the Way

From evaluating your property’s value and preparing it for the market to coordinating showings, reviewing offers, and navigating closing, our team is here to help. We can also work alongside your closing professionals and qualified tax advisors to help keep the process organized and moving forward, wherever you call home.
