The Story

From Peterborough to Paradise

Two weeks. Eleven hundred miles. One leap of faith.

Licensed in Ontario since 2005, I spent nearly two decades helping families buy and sell homes around Peterborough, Canada — with brokerages including Royal LePage Parkway Realty and Keller Williams.

In December 2022 my husband Kris and I visited Belize for the first time. We drove 1,100 miles in nine days, fell for the country, bought a house, and moved our family — including our two boys — to the Corozal District four months later.

Today I keep my Ontario licence active and specialize in the Corozal District, where Belize law allows 100% foreign ownership of land — titled in fee simple, in English.

A full-time Realtor and consultant since 2005 — here to help you relocate to and invest in Corozal, Belize.

Rated 5.0 on Google

I would highly recommend Tasha! She took us to several homes on our visit to Belize and we found the perfect one. She was patient through our long escrow as we had to sell our home in California, and a great resource for the entire relocation. She didn't ditch when we finally arrived — she was here with the red carpet and our keys!
Colleen Jones · Relocated from California — ★★★★★
We were truly delighted with Tasha as our buyer's agent. She has a wealth of real estate expertise and excellent knowledge of all aspects of Belize real estate. She patiently showed us many properties before we finally bought with her help. Thanks a million, Tasha!
M.S. · Home buyer, Consejo, Corozal District — ★★★★★
If I could give 10 I would! Tasha's amazing listening skills coupled with her knowledge is invaluable to anyone looking for a great realtor and friend in Belize. For a deep dive into everything moving to Belize, call Tasha!
Nancy Mikkelsen · Relocated to Belize — ★★★★★
The VERY BEST realtor we've met. Tasha is the absolute best! Could not have made this move without her.

Moving to Belize

Questions People Ask Before Moving to Corozal, Belize

Honest, plain-English answers — from someone who made the move herself.

Can foreigners buy property in Belize?

Yes. Belize is one of the easiest countries in the world for foreigners to own real estate — non-citizens have the same ownership rights as locals and can hold land outright (fee simple), with title deeds in English. Most residential purchases need no special permit. I guide buyers through title verification and a secure closing at every step.

Is Corozal a good place to live or retire?

Corozal is one of Belize's most popular districts for North American retirees and expats — quiet, affordable, and set on Corozal Bay, just minutes from the Mexican border town of Chetumal for big-box shopping, an international airport and healthcare. English is the official language, the community is welcoming, and the cost of living sits well below the US and Canada.

Do I need residency to buy, and what is the QRP program?

You don't need residency to buy property in Belize. If you want to live here, the Qualified Retired Persons (QRP) program — run by the Belize Tourism Board — offers residency to applicants generally aged 40+ who can show a qualifying monthly income (currently around USD $2,000/month), along with duty exemptions on personal goods. The specifics change, so I'll connect you with the current details and trusted local professionals.

Is Belize English-speaking?

Yes — English is the official language of Belize, which makes buying property, signing contracts, banking and settling in far simpler for buyers from the US, Canada and the UK. Spanish and Kriol are also widely spoken.

How much does real estate cost in Corozal?

Prices range widely — from affordable building lots and starter homes to waterfront estates. Corozal generally offers more home for your money than better-known Belize hotspots like Ambergris Caye or Placencia. Tell me your budget and goals and I'll send current options that fit.

What are the taxes and closing costs when buying in Belize?

Belize is known for low annual property taxes. Buyers typically pay a government stamp duty (transfer tax) on the purchase price plus legal fees. The Belize dollar is fixed to the US dollar (2 BZ$ = 1 US$), so pricing stays predictable. I'll walk you through the current, exact figures for any property you're considering.

How do I actually move to Corozal from the US or Canada?

I've done it myself — my family relocated from Peterborough, Ontario to Corozal in 2023. Beyond finding the right property, I help with the practical side: understanding residency options, shipping your belongings, and getting settled into the community. It's the kind of end-to-end guidance that only comes from someone who's actually made the move.

The Process

How Buying in Belize Works

A clear path from first conversation to keys in hand — with someone who's walked it herself.

  1. 1

    Discovery Call

    We talk through your goals, budget, timeline, and which part of the Corozal District fits how you want to live.

  2. 2

    Curated Viewings

    I send a shortlist of properties that genuinely match — then arrange viewings in person or by video if you're not in-country yet.

  3. 3

    Offer & Due Diligence

    We make your offer, and I coordinate the title search and legal checks so you know exactly what you're buying.

  4. 4

    Closing & Settling In

    Title transfers to you in fee simple — and because I've made the move myself, I help you get set up once you arrive.
