Realtors need no license here, no special knowledge nothing more than a sign. We took our paperwork up in the morning and had tittle that afternoon. I know folks who have used realtors and are still waiting after months. Even if you use a realtor absolutely get a attorney check them out also, however if you have a good attorney you dont need a realtor!!! It has always been our experience with so many agencies and so called experts with their hands out for $$$. With our work permits, residency, home purchase if you have the patience to do it yourself its much faster and much cheaper. I want to add that their are realtors who do excellent jobs for their clients, this is just our experience.
Having been a realtor and real estate broker on Ambergris Caye since the early 90's I have to say that I have a lot more to offer a client than simply a sign!
Within the next few months the real estate bill will become law and then licencing will be necessary for all realtors and brokers.
Indeed you can record a title in a day, but usually these are the old style documents that require significant investigation in order to ensure that the land is indeed free and clear, has an unbroken chain of ownership and that the surveys have been authenticated etc.
