What I help with
How it works
On the ground
I won't talk you into a property that's wrong for you, or list a home at a number that won't move.
You work directly with me from the first conversation to close. No team, no junior agent, no handoffs.
I know the neighborhoods, the notaries, and the contractors, because I'm living it, not reading it off a sheet.
Moving, retiring, choosing where to live, or just getting your bearings on the island, I help with the whole picture.
Drop your email. I’ll send the one most relevant to where you are right now. No drip-spam — just the next email when something matters.
50 pages on visas, residence permits, costs, neighborhoods and timeline — everything I wish I’d known before moving to Sint Maarten. Written for both US and Canadian relocators.
A 35-page guide to a faster U.S. residency path via the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty. Canadians should request the Relocation Handbook and follow the standard permit route.
45 pages on rental yields, short-term-rental rules, financing for non-residents, and exit strategy.
25 pages walking you through pre-purchase, site visit, closing and the first 30 days post-close.
I know the neighborhoods, the notaries, the contractors, and the texture of the island, because I live here.
I'll say rent here first when that's the honest call, and tell you when a building has a problem or a price is a stretch.
You work directly with me from the first conversation to close, with no handoffs to a team or a junior agent.
Real estate agent and island concierge
Buying and selling on the Dutch side
Moving, retiring, where to live
On the ground in Sint Maarten since 2023
You’re not legally required to, but it’s worth having one here. The transaction runs through a Dutch notary, currency and contract terms can get tricky, and neighborhoods vary in ways photos hide. Whether you’re buying or selling, I help you scout or price the property, draft or review the offer, and coordinate the notary, inspection, and close. Verify the legal and tax specifics with your notary and a tax professional.
Yes. On the Dutch side (Sint Maarten / SXM), foreign ownership is unrestricted, US and Canadian citizens can buy in their own name with no residency, citizenship, or special visa required, and the deed is registered through a local notary. The French side (St Martin) allows foreign ownership under French property law with different paperwork and taxes, which is why most North American buyers stay on the Dutch side. Confirm current rules with a SXM notary.
Wei works the Dutch side of the island. The neighborhoods she’s in most are Cupecoy, Simpson Bay, Cole Bay, and Oyster Pond, plus the other main areas across SXM. Whether you’re buying or selling, she’ll help you figure out the right fit.
No. Wei is one person, a real estate agent and island concierge who moved to Sint Maarten in 2023. You work directly with her from the first conversation to close, with no handoffs to a team or a junior agent.
