Buying real estate in Aruba is, well, different. You're entitled to a property inspection; let's not leave any stones unturned. Timelines and fees might deviate slightly. Upon contract execution, you'll make a 10% deposit to a notary. In roughly six weeks (usually, but who's counting?), the notary will beckon you for the final document signing and payment collection – property taxes, sales taxes, and their fee. It all depends on the purchase price, and don't you worry; there's a fixed tax rate within a certain bracket.
After all is said and done, it's time to close the chapter! Documentation needs signing, preferably in the presence of a notary. Once signatures from both sides materialize, and payments are in the bag, behold your official closing. Then it's just a matter of picking up those keys and savoring your new sun-soaked abode.
