The listing says €500,000.

But for an international buyer, that isn’t necessarily the number they’re trying to work out.

They may be thinking about the deposit, taxes and purchase costs, legal fees, mortgage requirements and how much money they’ll eventually need for completion.

And then there’s another variable.

What will €500,000 actually cost them in their own currency?

If their money is sitting in dollars, pounds or another currency, the answer can change while they’re going through the buying process.

That doesn’t mean an agent needs to start explaining exchange rates at a property viewing.

But it does mean that understanding the whole financial picture early can be incredibly useful for the buyer.

It’s one of the reasons I always encourage agents to introduce international clients before they’re ready to transfer.

We can talk through the currency requirement, their likely payment dates and the options available to them.

No pressure to exchange anything.

No need for the agent to become a currency expert.

Just more information, earlier in the process, so the client can make an informed decision.

Because when you’re buying internationally, the price on the property listing is only part of the calculation.

International buyers rarely need “just” an estate agent.

They’re buying a property in a country where they may not understand the legal process, the banking system, the taxes, the mortgage market, the currency or even what normally happens between making an offer and getting the keys.

And quite often, the estate agent is the first person they trust enough to ask.

That doesn’t mean an agent needs to become an expert in all of those things.

In fact, I think the opposite is true.

Some of the best international agents I work with are very clear about where their expertise ends. What makes them so valuable to their clients is that they have a network of people they trust to pick things up from there.

A good lawyer. A mortgage specialist. A tax adviser. An insurance contact. A currency specialist.

So when the buyer asks, “Who should I speak to about this?”, the agent already knows where to send them.

For someone buying in their own country, that might seem like a small thing.

When you’re buying thousands of miles from home and trying to understand an entirely new system, it isn’t.

Sometimes the value of a great agent isn’t knowing every answer. It’s knowing the right people.

Completion day.

Your buyer has spent months searching for the right property, negotiating, dealing with paperwork, lawyers, banks and probably answering more emails than they ever expected.

The last thing they need is uncertainty about whether their money is going to arrive.

This is another part of the purchase where we work quietly behind the scenes.

When your client is ready to complete, we can arrange the currency conversion and international payment to the agreed recipient, such as their lawyer.

We can provide proof of payment and liaise with the professionals involved where needed, so everyone knows where things stand.

For the buyer, it’s reassurance.

For the lawyer, it’s clear communication.

And for the agent, it’s one less part of the transaction to worry about.

Because good currency support isn’t only about the exchange rate.

Sometimes it’s simply about making sure the money gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.

And then everyone can get on with the much nicer part...

Handing over the keys. 🔑

“I’ll just use my bank.”

It’s something I hear regularly from international property buyers.

And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with talking to your bank.

But when you’re transferring a significant amount of money for a property purchase, it’s worth understanding what you’re actually getting before making the decision.

The transfer fee is only one part of the picture.

The exchange rate can make a much bigger difference to the final amount your client receives in euros.

There may also be questions around timing, securing an exchange rate for a future payment, transferring directly to a lawyer, or providing proof of payment.

That’s where a currency specialist can help.

We can explain the options, provide a quote and help your client understand the process.

Then they decide what works best for them.

For agents, you don’t need to persuade your client to use anyone.

Simply giving them another option can be part of providing a great service.

Apparently everything is kinda chic at the moment… so we thought we’d join in. 😏

If you work with international property buyers, it’s kinda chic to know what you do brilliantly and have trusted specialists around you for everything else.

You find the property.
The lawyer handles the legal side.
The mortgage adviser handles the finance.

And when your client starts asking about exchange rates, transferring their deposit or planning for completion?

You know exactly who to call.

Very chic, actually. 😉

At Moving Currency, we work alongside real estate professionals to make the currency and international payment side of buying property simpler for their clients.

Your client’s completion is three months away.

So they don’t need to think about currency yet. Right?

Actually, this can be one of the most useful times for them to have the conversation.

International buyers don’t necessarily have to wait until a payment deadline and then exchange everything at whatever rate happens to be available that day.

Depending on their circumstances, they may have different options.

They could exchange some or all of their funds now.

They may be able to secure an exchange rate for a future payment with a forward contract.

Or they might want to target a particular exchange rate using a limit order.

The important thing is that your client doesn’t need to know which option is right for them before speaking to us.

And neither do you.

That’s our job.

An early introduction simply gives your client time to understand their options and make an informed decision, rather than having to make one under pressure when a payment deadline arrives.

No crystal ball required. 🔮

Just good planning.

Your client asks, “When should I exchange my dollars?”

You don’t need to know the answer.

They ask whether they should fix an exchange rate now or wait.

You don’t need to know that either.

And if they ask how they’ll transfer the money to their lawyer in Portugal?

Still not your job.

Real estate agents already have enough to think about.

Your expertise is understanding your client’s property requirements, finding the right home, negotiating the purchase and guiding them through the transaction.

Ours is currency and international payments.

When one of your international buyers starts asking questions about exchange rates, transferring funds or planning future payments, you can simply introduce us.

We’ll explain their options, answer their questions and help them manage the international payment side of their purchase.

You don’t have to give currency advice.

You don’t have to chase payments.

And you certainly don’t need to start watching foreign exchange markets before breakfast.

You carry on being their real estate agent.

We’ll be their currency specialist.

Sometimes providing exceptional service isn’t about knowing every answer. It’s about knowing the right person to introduce. 🤝

You’ve introduced your client to us. What happens next?

Not a hard sell. Not a complicated currency lesson. And definitely not another job for you to manage.

I start by having a conversation with your client about their purchase, where their money is coming from, how much they’ll need to transfer and when their payments are likely to be due.

From there, we can explain the options available to them, answer their questions and help them plan their transfers around the purchase.

When they’re ready to proceed, we arrange the currency conversion and international payment and can send the funds directly to their lawyer or other agreed recipient.

We can also provide proof of payment and liaise with the professionals involved where needed.

And importantly, the introduction doesn’t mean you disappear from the conversation.

We’re there to complement the service you’re already providing, not complicate it.

Your client gets someone they can call when they have a currency or international payment question, and you have one less part of the transaction to worry about.

A simple email or WhatsApp introduction is often all it takes.

You make the introduction. We’ll look after your client. 🤝

The right people can completely change your energy. 💙💚

A brilliant brainstorming session today with two women I'm incredibly privileged to work with, Kathy Byrnes and Leesa Booyzen.

New ideas. New focus. Lots of possibilities. And that wonderful feeling of leaving a meeting thinking, right, let's do this!

Kathy is the ultimate super connector, someone who genuinely loves bringing people together and creating opportunities.

Leesa, Kaya Team leader, is an absolute powerhouse, driven, inspiring and always encouraging the people around her to think bigger.

But what I value most is the support.

Women sharing ideas, opening doors for one another, challenging each other and genuinely wanting each other to succeed.

That's the kind of room I want to be in. 🙌

Thank you both. I'm excited about what we're working on next.

The seller hasn’t changed the price. So why could the property suddenly cost your client more?

For an international buyer, agreeing a property price doesn’t necessarily fix what they’ll ultimately pay in their own currency.

Between offer and completion, exchange rates can move.

On a significant property purchase, even a relatively small movement can make a noticeable difference to the amount your client needs to send.

That’s one of the reasons I encourage agents to introduce international buyers to us early.

It doesn’t mean they have to transfer their money immediately.

It simply gives them the opportunity to understand their exposure, discuss the timing of their payments and explore the options available to them before there’s a deadline looming.

Your job isn’t to become a currency expert.

It’s simply to make sure your client has access to one.

And sometimes, that early introduction can prevent a very uncomfortable surprise later in the purchase.

🤝 Do you discuss currency with international buyers before or after they make an offer?
