The proxy figure is handled only for the signing of documents in the name and representation of the principal. This attorney-in-fact will not be registered in the purchase, in the deed or in the mortgage of the property. The proxy is also not a guarantor.

What is the difference between monetizing with Casa Propia Colombia and sending the money through an exchange house or money order?

If you send it through an exchange house, the money enters the country as a family remittance and the proxy does not have a way to support the investment at the time of income tax return.

If you send it through money order, you must pay an occasional income tax because you cannot support that money was received from abroad for a third-party real estate investment.

In Casa Propia Colombia we negotiate the dollar in real time, while in an exchange house or a bank the negotiation rate is fixed according to a money table without your approval.

Casa Propia Colombia offers security, we make the payment directly to the Developer, Fiduciary or Bank, otherwise you may need a person in Colombia to make this payment.

That if a person buys property with foreign resources, they must notify those dollars channeled for real estate investment through format 4 or 5 to Banco de la República.
