Looking for Agent/Lawyer to help with purchase of home in Morocco

Hello,

I have travelled to Morocco a couple times and have fallen in love with it

I currently live in the US and have found a home that I would like to purchase in Morocco. I have contacted several US based law firms that specialize in international real estate law as well as a few law firms based in Morocco. No one seems to be interested in returning calls or emails. Can anyone please recommend a reliable firm to help with this process?

Thank you,
Jerome

If you are in Morocco and have already found the property, then you can deal directly with the owner, no need for lawyers, agencies or the like.

"Notaire" you mean. Thank you for the condescending remark.
I always thought you could buy properties from vending machines in convenient stores.
If the person has already found the property, knows the owner, why the need for a real estate agency.
Now that I think about it, the notary and paper work is not the real problem for a foreigner.
Going to the "conservation fonciere"( the office of the land registry) double check the Title "titre foncier" making sure the person selling the property is the same person on the title.
checking for any debts on the Title.(titre foncier). These things could be tricky for a foreigner.
Yeah, better play it safe and get legal help or a trustworthy local.
almost everything else is taking care for by the Notary.

Hi Jerome

I’m your neighbor on the north...Canadian. I see the comments are personal and not a way to introduce you to the market as a buyer. If you are still interested, I can be off help.

Cheers

Hi,

In which city you are going to buy? most important is to do the transaction through a certified notary and transfer your money from your foreigner bank account to the notary bank account so you have trace of the real estate transaction, let him check all the documents for you before you sign. all the documents are in French or Arabic but there are certified translators to assist you or translate the documents.

Good luck!!
