But the rush is exposing cracks: unlicensed agents are slipping through regulatory gaps, dodging anti-money-laundering rules and risking consumer trust. Frustrated buyers are turning to shady channels, while industry leaders demand stricter licensing laws and Caribbean-style standards. Meanwhile, redundant KYC checks and lack of centralized data are slowing transactions—calls are growing for streamlined systems and better access to accurate market insights. Despite the chaos, experts see this as healthy, sustainable growth, not a bubble, with opportunities for developers to build more affordable housing and tap into rising demand.
