Real Estate Investment Consulting Services of BBI Argentina

Span the Entire Purchase Process

• Property Scouting
• We work with well-connected and reputable agents in Mendoza who, in addition to identifying properties for sale online, in local papers, and by agencies, locate properties not officially on the market. Over the years we have developed and maintained an extensive network of industry contacts.

• Guided Property Visits
• Our qualified bilingual agents will take prospective buyers to view the properties we have pre-inspected for them during the Property Scout phase. The pros and cons of each potential investment will be discussed on-site.

• Soil & Water Analysis
• Once the client has selected potential properties of interest, we will have soil and water samples collected and our licensed agronomist will deliver them to a reputable lab for analysis, payment on behalf of the client, and retrieval of results.

• Price Negotiation
• We undertake to negotiate the lowest possible price. We are very familiar with Argentine culture and bargaining tactics. We often save our clients tens of thousands of dollars as a result of our tough negotiating skills.
