Loads of people are coming to Buenos Aires and buying property. Lots of them are getting seriously scammed, overcharged, lied to and worse. Not all, i should add, but a pretty large percentage.
I met these guys just over a year or so ago on a social level and mentioned that i wanted to buy a property. I wasn't sure how to go about it all-how much people charged, fair prices in the different areas, tax etc. You never get a straight answer in Buenos Aires. At the time, they were investigating the rules and regulations as they were looking to buy a second property and helped me out enormously with info. I then asked them to help me actually find a property and offered to pay.
They helped me find my property, introduced me to all their contacts and basically made sure i wasn't cheated in any way at all. They're now doing this as a kind of business and have helped quite a few people buy property here. They REALLY know what they're talking about and will quite happily meet up to discuss the market and the process with anyone who needs more information. The fee they charge is much lower than other agencies and so called specialists and they don't take a cut of the professional fees of their contacts-you pay the lawyers etc the same percentage as they would (as in they don't add on hidden extra fees.) This is not usual here, trust me. I've lived here for almost 2 years and have yet to meet a truly trustworthy local.
I should add that these guys are my friends now but i'm not being biased. They offer a truly great service and will never screw you. They basically ensure that you don't get scammed, they're your insurance against losing serious money.
www.realba.blogspot.com is where you'll find them.
Good luck!
