Cross-Border Real Estate. Local Expertise. Trusted Results.

Florida remains a top destination for Canadian buyers seeking vacation homes, rental properties, or long-term investments. But buying real estate in the U.S. as a Canadian citizen comes with legal, tax, and cross-border considerations that require skilled, strategic guidance.

I’m Attorney Jacqueline Salcines, a South Florida real estate lawyer with over 26 years of experience helping Canadian clients purchase property with clarity and confidence. From beachfront condos in Miami to income-producing homes in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, I ensure your transaction is smooth, protected, and fully compliant with U.S. laws.

Why Canadian Buyers Need a Florida Attorney

Canadian investors face unique challenges, including:

  • Foreign ownership laws and U.S. tax exposure
  • FIRPTA withholding when selling U.S. property
  • Choosing the right ownership structure (personal, LLC, trust)
  • Title, financing, and closing process differences

As your real estate attorney, I work directly with your realtor, title company, and financial advisor to safeguard your interests — and your investment.

Based in Coral Gables, I serve clients throughout Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
