STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Do you have a catalog of property listings I can browse?

At Real Estate Bodyguard, we do not have listings, and that is your greatest advantage. Unlike traditional agents who push their own inventory, we operate as a true Buyer’s Advocacy firm.

We search the entire market including other agencies and off-market opportunities to find the property that fits your specific needs, not our sales quota.

Question 2: Why do you charge a retainer fee before showing properties?

The retainer fee ($1,500 for Silver or $3,500 for Gold) ensures that we work exclusively for your protection, not for a quick commission.

It filters out casual browsing, allowing us to dedicate our full resources including legal vetting, market research, and inspections to serious investors. Importantly, this fee is fully refundable if we do not deliver on our service promise.

Question 3: Who is on the team protecting my investment?

You are not just hiring an agent; you are hiring a protection squad with over 200 years of combined experience.

Our team includes specialized experts in Legal Due Diligence, Fiscal & Accounting strategy, Technical Inspections, and Construction.

This multidisciplinary approach ensures every blind spot is covered, from the foundation to the tax implications.

Question 4: What is the mission of Real Estate Bodyguard?

We are more than a local agency; we are an international movement with a mission to guide and accompany future buyers in total security.

Our goal is to be the ultimate "toolbox" for investors, providing the legal, financial, and physical protection necessary to find your "diamond" property anywhere in the world.

Question 5: Why shouldn't I just use a free real estate agent?

"Free" agents are typically compensated by the seller, which creates an inherent conflict of interest.

Their goal is to sell you their listing. Our model reverses this: by working on a retainer, our loyalty is 100% to you, the buyer.

We prioritize your safety and ROI over closing a deal on a specific property.

Questions 6: How can I trust a property I haven't seen?

We don't ask you to "trust"; we ask you to verify through us. We act as your "boots on the ground," providing unedited video walkthroughs, noise/traffic analysis, and immediate neighborhood reports (like crime or construction) that listing photos intentionally hide.

Question 7: How do we get started with Real Estate Bodyguard?

Everything begins with Step 1: Introduction & Goal Alignment.

We schedule a focused 15-minute call to define your investment or residency goals, determine which Protection Plan suits you, and confirm that we are the right fit for each other.

Question 8: How do we check if the HOA (Home Owners Association) is healthy?

In Step 8 (Due Diligence), we don't just look at the monthly fee.

We request the HOA's financial reserve study and delinquency rates.

Buying into a condo with a bankrupt HOA is a liability we protect you from.

Question 9: I feel I need to do more research before deciding.

It is easy to get stuck in "analysis paralysis," believing you need to know everything before you start.

The truth is, you don't need to know everything; you need a team that does.

We provide the inspections, data, and legal checks so you can stop researching and start owning with confidence.

Question 10: Why real estate instead of stocks?

It's not necessarily "instead of," but "in addition to." The problem with stocks is volatility and lack of control.

Real estate offers tangible collateral, tax advantages (like depreciation), and cash flow that you can influence through improvements and management.

It provides stability that balances a stock-heavy portfolio.
