FAQ

How is the purchasing process structured and what stages does it consist of?

Is it possible to buy real estate in Argentina if I am a foreigner or a tourist?

Yes, it is possible. If you don’t have any documents in Argentina yet, it is best to make the purchase as a tourist.

What commission will I pay if I work with you? If I go to another real estate agency, will it be cheaper?

In Argentina, the buyer always pays a 4% commission — regardless of whether they work with us or with any other Argentine real estate agency.

  1. What is the difference between Daniri Global Solutions and any other Argentine real estate agency?

How Argentine agencies usually operate:

— Their clients are mostly Argentinians who already know the market and the process.
— They don’t explain the nuances of the deal — locals already understand them.
— They show 1–3 property options, and if you don’t like any, you have to continue searching on your own.
— They don’t provide “turnkey” support for the transaction and, of course, don’t speak your language.

Daniri is a Russian-Argentine consulting agency for real estate and investment in Argentina.

How we work:

— Initial consultation explaining the entire real estate purchase process;
— Recommendations on the documents required for the transaction;
— Guidance on transferring funds to Argentina;
— Advice on choosing the right neighborhood in the city;
— Personalized property selection based on the buyer’s criteria, goals, and budget;
— Accompaniment during property viewings in Russian, or video tours for those buying remotely;
— Full explanation of transaction documents in Russian;
— Legal verification, ensuring the safety of the deal, and protecting the buyer’s interests with explanations at every stage;
— “Turnkey” service even if you are not in Argentina.

And yes, for our work you pay the same 4% commission — with no hidden fees.

Can I buy an apartment on my own?

If you plan to make the purchase independently, it’s important to understand a few points:

1. Agency commission:
Even if you buy without us, if the seller is working with an agent, you will still pay the 4% commission. In other words, whether you come through us or directly to another agent, the commission remains the same.

2. The only way to avoid commission:
This is by buying directly from the owner (a direct transaction). Such deals are extremely rare — the percentage is almost negligible. However, there are risks that need to be considered:

A buyer cannot independently verify the property’s history for:
— Mortgages;
— Debts;
— Co-ownership;
— Other heirs.

3. Why we don’t recommend direct deals with owners or “dueño directo” listings:
— High risk regarding the legal cleanliness of the transaction;
— Inability to independently verify the complete property history;
— Possibility of hidden debts or registration issues.

What are the risks of investing in Argentina?

As with any investment, there are risks. Our goal is to select projects for you that offer full legal security and high growth potential.

What taxes and additional expenses should be considered when buying?

Main expenses for the buyer (secondary market):

On average, expenses when buying a resale property are around 9–10% of the property’s value.

— 4% + VAT — agency commission (paid in USD)
— 2% — notary services (paid in pesos)
— ~1.2% — notary fees (paid in pesos)
— 1.8% — impuesto de sellos (stamp tax), if no exemption applies (exemptions explained here)

For foreign buyers, additionally:
— Translation of the Minuta (contract) by a sworn translator and legalization at the College of Translators
— Costs are confirmed 10–15 days before the transaction

Is it possible to buy remotely?

Yes, it is possible. You can purchase real estate without being in Argentina, even if you don’t plan to visit.

Our team regularly handles such purchases and has successfully completed multiple online transactions.

We explain the process, features, and nuances in detail during a standard consultation or introductory meeting.

Is it possible to negotiate the price of real estate in Argentina?

Yes, this is completely normal. Price negotiations are a standard part of the real estate purchase process in Argentina.

Here’s how the process works:

— During the property reservation stage, we make a financial deposit and sign a reservation agreement.
— After that, negotiations begin: we, as the buying party, submit an offer to the seller.
— The seller either accepts the offer or responds with a counteroffer.

Most often, price negotiations allow savings of 4–10% of the property’s value. This amount usually covers agency commissions, notary fees, and the transfer of ownership costs, making the purchase more advantageous.

When should I start preparing to buy an apartment in Argentina?

The right strategy:

  1. Start with preliminary preparation:
    — Determine how much you are willing and able to spend
    — Identify preferred neighborhoods and search criteria
    — Understand how the real estate market works and its specifics

  2. A consultation with us will help in this preparation — we will explain everything, help define your strategy, and introduce you to the transaction stages and nuances.

  3. When you are ready, we will begin the property search and viewings.
