Buy Belize

Update: They are now luring victims with ExploreBelize.com. And by the way, everything in this article is true, and more.

Some of us even suspects that they are selling the lots multiple times.

And if you did buy, don't expect any help from the Belize judiciary system, they're easily bought! We tried!

I also went down to the reserve on the tour and found the development spectacular. I'm not sure why the negative postings but can only tell you what we experienced.

We traveled and found the countryside to be beautiful and the native people to be delightful, felt safe and secure south of Belize city. The reserve is something you would have to experience for yourself, very enjoyable 5 day tour of the property and no high pressure sales. The infrastructure as far as roads and amenity are already in and power and water to most properties.

I don't usually post comment but felt reviews were unfair, and no I'm not affiliated, unless you count new property owner affiliation. Because we were so impressed that we bought property.

Wow Jeff! You hit on all the talking points that buy Belize gives. How long have you worked for them?

You do know that no reputable realtor, landlord, or apartment complex in the US will really discuss crime or safety correct? They will refer you to the local police to get that information because if anything were to happen to you, you may have a civil cause of action against them. That is just business nowadays, find something else real to complain about.

Your experience with buy Belize is typical pressure to sell fast. Because you were not listening to his sales pitch, you are actually agitating him.

Your voice command may also be irritating, though you may not realize it. Ask to speak with another sales consultant if the first five minutes is not to your specifications. If you are honest about buying, you may need to speak to multiple sales consultants as you would if you were purchasing expensive exotic cars. In effect, that's what you are attempting.

Purchasing something far and few is high risk in itself.

Do not go for illusions as it has ruined many a man. Bless Buddha.

I think it was because the intentions of the person on the other end of the phone were not pure. It seemed that he had an agenda and a rosey path he wanted to walk me down.

When I was wanting to follow my line of questioning rather than his agenda, I think he got upset. I questioned how safe the area was where they were building, and it apparently upset him.

This is when the conversation turned. Thanks for your response and God bless you!

Yes , the same thing just happened to me with him not answering my questions .

He try to call I don't answer.

So we had a texting argument.

He would answer only with another question ...humm

I said I wanted everything on paper through emails or text I will not speak on the phone because I want proof of this Exchange. He then attacked me saying but I was too aggressive and that I wasn't a good fit.

His call came out of California ?

I told him I would use a lawyer and that I would report him and this is a scam he kept texting me back in argument then I said I was going to report him and this company as a scam. People really look into where you are going to live there are multiple types of tarantula spiders that can kill you and snakes all venomous and deadly.

Monkeys that are really aggressive and bite the water has poisonous fish that you step on all of these creatures cause necrosis which is your causes your flesh to die. If you don't die first they have a terrible problem with sand flies, Mosquitoes all of these things carry the zika virus and things like leprosy everything is deadly Yuk..

Yes, it did, I think Southern CA, like San Diego. LOL I'm so sorry you had to deal with him, too.

He's a bit *** and has something up his sleeve.

Glad you were able to smell something bad, too, and avoid it. Good luck!

Report them to the Attorney General & Federal Trade Commission. Timeshares in general are “sketchy” but buybelize is down right predatory scammers.

"If you stay out late spending a lot of money and drink to intoxication you might wake up broke and dead."

I didn't know one could wake up dead?

There is nothing wrong with the tour, it is top of the line. It's what you don't see that you should be scared of!

I've been scammed out of $70,000 US, and I'm one of the lucky one. Some have lost a lot more than me!

Hi Diane,Can you elaborate a little? Maybe via Facebook Messenger or something?

I have a developer or someone calling me tomorrow or Wednesday and I'd like to try and get some info out of him.

The trip is booked, so I'm definitely going. I booked a place close by Placencia for 4 days before the tour so I can hopefully get some info from locals beforehand.My facebook messenger is:robert.johnson.750****

Please update us on your finding.. .

I am on the tour now. I get back from the tour on Monday

First of all that woman you dated is dumb as a door nail. There is no way that she is Belizean and does not know her Belizean history or the current climate of Belize.

There are many people in Belize that are actually from other countries in Central America but migrate to Belize because the Belizean dollar is higher than their home country so they work and send money back to their family or move with their entire family to Belize. Any Belizean that was born and raised there, went to primary and secondary school there will know that Belize DOES NOT belong to Guatemala. If you ask Guatemala people they say we belong to them, that's what they teach in their schools and believe to be true. However since 1981 they cannot claim our country or take it back.

And there are British soldiers in Belize there are military barracks a few streets down from my house and they are always there to provide support to the Belize Defense Force. Anytime tensions grow with Guatemala, the British are there in full force. We also have troops from Nepal and other countries that do military trainings there and always provide support if necessary. As for crime, Belize City is a high crime area.

Personally I don't go to Belize City at all. Haven't been there since the 80s. The capital was changed from there and all government offices moved from there including the US Embassy. For your safety DO NOT GO TO BELIZE CITY.

I don't know why the cruise ship port is there. That is the very worst part of the country and remember that I am from NY and I would not dare go there.

As for Buy Belize they are atrocious and need to be shut down by Belize asap. They are selling land in an area that was stolen from Belizeans and creating luxury homes, condos & gated communities that working Belizeans cannot even afford to try to live there.

Every time I got to Belize I see people with the T shirts, hats and other marketing materials and they are looking at me and my black skin as if I should not be in Belize it is reserved only for them.

I was born in America, my mother is from Belize and that is my home outside of Brooklyn, New York. I have been going to Belize at least 4 times a year since April 1981 when I was a child and the country was formerly known as British Honduras at that time. My family has many properties in various parts of the country including lodging properties for tourists. It is not hard to build there as your girlfriend stated it is actually extremely easy.

Yes the police and government is corrupt but please show me one that isn't! Police and government corruption is a global problem! Come to the United States and see for yourself! Or watch CNN and be a witness!

Trump stole an election and police departments nationwide are violating people and committing crimes so Belize is not unique! So due to government corruption the lands department has been reselling properties illegally many times while the rightful owner is still on their land! This happens especially in Southern Belize where the Garifuna people are being run off their land daily buy white Americans that want beachfront properties and want to retire in Belize. It is unfair to the indigenous people of Belize that are being run out of our own country to accommodate retirees or White people that come to ravage our land and resources.

The Garifuna and Maya people have been in Belize before Columbus came to the Caribbean (which is a documented historical fact) and the Queen of England has declared the areas where the Garifuna and Mayans inhabited as "Queen Titled Land" which is legally designated for those specific cultural groups and their descendants. But now the government is taking away our land to profit themselves and indigenous groups are being displaced. I am supportive of tourism and people coming to visit but coming to take away our land is absolutely wrong. The same way white people ruined other Caribbean nations like Barbados for example where Barbadians cannot buy land because land will only be sold to white people is exactly what is happening to Belize and now they are moving into Guyana as well.

Because Belize and Giuyana are the only English speaking countries in Central and South America, was preserved from the cruelties of overdevelopment and posses an abundance of natural resources here come the white people to ruin our countries. WAKE UP BELIZEANS and fight for your land! I personally hope and pray the Garifuna people learn from our Mayan brothers and sisters and seek legal action! We too should get lawyers to reclaim all the land stolen from us and be awarded all those properties illegally built on land that has always been ours.

Please don't "BUY BELIZE" Our country should not be for sale in such a disgusting manner. After all we can never "BUY AMERICA" from the White Anglo Saxon Protestant owners....

oh wait they can't sell it because they stole it from the Native Americans the rightful owners! Modern day colonization at it's finest!!

Chet; the classic ugly American. I've traveled the world as a pro musician and wherever I go I respect the people there and their culture.

I'm a guest in their HOME.

You should stay home if you don't have the manners to behave as a guest should. BTW, your racist attitude is considered ignorant the world over outside of your little bubble of inbred thought.

Tell someone you support the current, legitimately elected POTUS and cue the racists comments. Anytime someone disagrees with an opinion, people can't control themselves.

Here's the bottom line... if you are a liberal, progressive, GDI, or anything that is not GOP, your official platform believes that we all should share in resources, more acceptance, and preserve the world for future needs. Telling people they are racists, don't have the right to live somewhere, or that they can't have an independent view is against the platform for which you vote.

Chet, while uncouth in his approach, is responding to the ongoing societal need that forces one group's opinions on another.

He's frustrated with being told how to think, what he should like, and what others, who don't understand him, think he should say.

So, let's start over. The question on the table is whether Buy Belize.com is a legit company and what your view of working with the company are.

If someone says something you don't like or approve, support the original poster, contribute to the conversation at hand, and ignore or dismiss comments not relevant to the topic.

For example, if I saw the original poster's comments, agreed with them, and then disagreed with Chet I could write, "I totally agree with the OP's comments that Belize isn't a safe place. I also don't have positive experiences with the real estate market there because of X, Y, and Z."

In this case, I contribute to the topic, don't stir up a non relevant conversation or give it value, and do it without getting just as dirty.

Well said.....

Chet did not start the political conversation, but you not liking the rebuttal you had a problem. why didn't you keep your opinion on posters reply to your self.

You seem very educated and well spoken. I have changed my mind from buying in Belize.

I am Mexican-American, but understand what you are saying.

Thank you for your response and provided information. It has saved me from making a poor choice.

I agree .... I visited Belize in June of this year ....

I’m African American.... I felt safe....

Belize City, then off to Caye Ca, San Pedro, then El Secreto, lol I think I spell it right. I love it ....

Would you buy property there

Has anyone put down a deposit and then decided against making the purchase? If so, was your deposit returned? Also, from what I have read, Sanctuary Bay or Belize and Kanantik are the same people from buybelize, the ones running the Ponzi scheme....

100% innacurate

I am curious of your results. I saw that infomercial too.

Truth is when investing in property in other parts of the world there is a huge risk of many things going wrong. This just sounds like a time share scam plain and simple...

Trump, should stop this, I lisened to the salesman watched the video. He sent me a form to make a deposit of 1000.00 I emailed him back asking for a better location as we have friends from there he never answered me, we still have a phone call scheduled for Monday I will do my best to expose this scam as I saw it a a infomercial,from:

Lol- that's pretty limited view of a whole country. That's like saying I went to a trip to New York.

I rode the subway and it smelled so awful I almost lost it. When I got off there were many homeless and they asked me for money. I went to dinner and the waiter was rude. Don't go to NY bc all of it is like what I saw.

That's not fair to the big apple bc it's an amazing city and has so many wonderful things about it

You didn't see much of Belize and it too has wonderful parts and some less wonderful parts.

It's just like many other places in that aspect.

If you came with me to Belize I bet your opinion would be different.

I don't think he's complaining about the country, I think he's talking about the Company called BuyBelize.com. I also had a weird experience with them and I think others should find someone else to do business.

I am looking at buying properties in Belize for home and investment.

I was contacted on the phone by these people after I accepted to view one of their videos. Somehow they found and stalked me the moment I clicked it! The guy on the phone was the typical sales geek. Too much talk and not enough listen, so he doesn't know anything about me, why I'm motivated to move there, how I will be funding it or anything else.

When I can start asking questions, I ask as any father would when moving his family to a new country, is it safe, about the gated community and security, should I be worried about driving or walking around at night on my own? He starts taking offense to simple questions about safety and saying I don't know anything about the area and then that I'm not a good fit and dismisses me? Hmmm... Sounds very SCAM-my to me!

His actions raise questions about what might be wrong with the security in their development that he is so overly sensitive when people want to talk about it, and then immediately dismisses them? Or if this was some other scam and he didn't want to proceed? It was he that called to offer to answer all my questions! It just makes no sense...

Of course I don't know anything about the area, I already told him I hadn't been there yet and 25 of us were planning to go in January. This is when I wanted to look at the properties. I also haven't seen their information because he called me the moment I clicked to accept the video. Until then, I need as much information as possible on Belize, and I have been reading and making inquiries.

Most everyone I've asked has been happy to oblige to answer questions and was courteous when I asked, glad to help! They also weren't trying to sell me anything, so they had no obligation to answer! But, not a single person has ever taken offense to me asking the same questions about the security of an area where my family and I would move to, especially when they are the ones selling the property and wanting to build the home, and asking me to buy in their special little enclosed development area?! Usually, they are happy to explain how great their security is and all the good things about it.

My questions were basic, but, this guy was strange and kept attacking me for my questions and that I didn't know anything. As I saw he was getting upset, I even tried to explain to him that I'm just asking questions to know about the area and these aren't personal, please not to take offense. At the same time, I'm thinking that no one should be! But he interrupts me to tell me that he's answered all my questions and doesn't think we're a good fit!

Boy was he right! I should be glad that he did, and I am! But, I want to warn others that this is not normal, honest behavior, and in fact, it is very erratic! Real, genuine, honest real estate people don't respond this way and there are too many normal people in real estate than to have to deal with these shady characters!

You've been warned! Good luck with your move!
