Property viewings to sell in La Boquilla frente al mar Here is what changes in this sector and what to have ready before going to market.
Showings are the most exposed part of the process and deserve a method. Before anyone walks in, define concrete time windows, because the property reads differently depending on the light and the breeze through the day, and where possible avoid the hottest hours. Where there is a condominium, notify the administration and leave entry authorization recorded at the front desk. If the home is tenanted, prior agreement with the tenant is unavoidable and sets how often visits can happen. Each prospect should arrive screened, identified and with a clear sense of purchasing capacity, and every visit should be accompanied, never with a key handed to a stranger. During the walk through it is usually better for the owner to stay away or say little, since price conversations are handled differently. Putting away valuables and personal documents is basic. After each visit, record what was observed: repeated remarks tell you whether the obstacle is price, presentation or the wrong buyer profile. Dimare Collection coordinates and accompanies those showings.
What La Boquilla frente al mar is, and what changes there
Being on the front line in La Boquilla is a different proposition from being two blocks inland in the same village, and the difference is not only the view. On the seaward edge, what exists is largely towers and hotel use along the road, while a short distance behind it the fabric turns into the community's own housing, narrow streets and informal construction, with utilities and street conditions that change block by block. So the front line carries a premium that buys more than water: it buys a position inside the formal, permitted part of the corregimiento. It also carries the coastal questions that inland property does not, because the beach itself is public, the tidal strip cannot be privately owned however it looks on the ground, and shoreline erosion and protection works along this stretch are documented concerns. Maintenance differs too, since salt air and exposure act on a seafront facade in a way they do not act a few streets back. For renters, the front line is where lodging concentrates, though whether a specific building permits it is settled by its own rules.

Colombian living abroad
This is the case apart. You need no visa and no cédula de extranjerÃa, because your document is the Colombian cédula, and that is exactly what gets neglected: check that the cédula is current and that its details match the registry, because an unrecorded change of marital status or surname stops the deed. The money, though, does come from abroad, so the transfer enters through the regulated exchange market with its declaración de cambio like anyone else's, and if you are not a Colombian tax resident that inflow may have to be registered as foreign investment with the Banco de la República: they are who to ask whether your particular case requires it. What really changes is how you file. Tax residence is not chosen, it is determined by rules, and not being a Colombian tax resident alters what is withheld from you and what you report to the DIAN, both on rent and on sale. For signing from abroad, the Colombian consulate where you live grants the poder. And the tax question is whether a treaty exists between Colombia and the country where you live and what it says about rental income and about ganancia ocasional, with an accountant in each country.
