International Buyers - Whistler Real Estate

If you are interested in buying real estate in the Whistler area you’ll be happy to know Canada has no restrictions to foreign property ownership. In fact, Whistler is a great multi-cultural town with a diverse mix of international owners. I have clients from all over the world and my expertise in assisting buyers through a trouble-free purchasing process has been one of the focal points of the award winning service I provide to these clients. I welcome your interest and will be happy to assist you in becoming a non-resident Canadian owner in Whistler!

To help all purchasers through the unknowns and uncertainties of property purchase transactions I work closely with an outstanding team of specialists to provide a smooth and easy purchasing process.

ACCOUNTING AND TAX SERVICES

Theresa Walterhouse at BDO Dunwoody Chartered Accountants provides my clients with information and services relating to the tax implications of non-resident Canadian property ownership. She and her staff provide outstanding service and advice in an easy to understand format.

MORTGAGE INFORMATION

Many international property purchasers have good working relationships with their banks at home; however, foreign banks cannot register a mortgage on property in Canada. If you need to arrange financing for your purchase or want detailed information on how the mortgage process works in Canada, Doug Mildenberger at Garibaldi Mortgage can help you with your mortgage needs, providing fast, efficient service. One fact to keep in mind is non-resident Canadian investors are required to have an equity position of 25% - 30% depending on the type of property you are purchasing.

LEGAL SERVICES

For all property purchase transactions in British Columbia a buyer is required to retain the services of a lawyer or notary public to perform the purchase conveyance and recording of title transfer.

Chuck Piercey and Susan Pearson at Ratcliff & Co. provide outstanding service and advice to my clients and transact business all around the world everyday.
