Whether you're planning to rent a beachfront condo, buy your dream villa, or sell a property in the Cayman Islands, there’s one essential first step: verify your agent. Unfortunately, not everyone advertising property in the Cayman Islands is who they claim to be. We've seen an increase in individuals posing as CIREBA agents without any official affiliation. These imposters often prey on renters—especially in a fast-moving market—by requesting deposits for properties they don’t own or manage. 1. Visit CIREBA.com Don’t let a scam ruin your experience. A few minutes of due diligence could save you thousands. CIREBA (Cayman Islands Real Estate Brokers Association) is the governing body for real estate professionals in the Cayman Islands. Members must meet high professional standards, follow a strict code of ethics, and operate under transparent processes backed by CIREBA’s oversight and dispute resolution framework. Working with a CIREBA member means working with a professional. You’re not just getting expert guidance—you’re also gaining peace of mind that your transaction is being handled legally, fairly, and with your best interests at heart. With the Cayman Islands in high demand as a place to live and work, scammers are becoming more active—especially in the rental market. They often target newcomers, students, and those urgently searching for accommodation. These scams frequently involve fake listings, forged credentials, and pressure to transfer deposits quickly. The right agent makes all the difference. Before you rent, buy, or sell, take a moment to check credentials at CIREBA.com. It’s the smart way to protect yourself—and start your property journey with confidence.
