Ep 4. Turks & Caicos Condo Search

In the third season of House Hunters International, viewers are taken on a journey around the world as homebuyers search for their dream properties in foreign countries. In episode four entitled "Turks & Caicos Condo Search," the series follows a couple who are looking to buy a vacation home in the picturesque island of Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean.

The episode starts by introducing the couple, Esther and Richard. Esther, a successful businesswoman, and Richard, a retiree, live in California and have decided to buy a vacation home in the Caribbean. After considering several options, they have chosen the Turks and Caicos islands mainly because of their natural beauty and the fact that the islands are easily accessible from the US.

Esther and Richard have a budget of $1 million and hope to find a condo with at least two bedrooms and two bathrooms. They prefer ocean views and are looking for a property that they can rent out when they are not using it to offset the costs.

In the first condo they visit, Esther and Richard meet with their real estate agent. The condo is located in a new development with a swimming pool and a gym. The apartment is spacious and has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a large terrace with beautiful ocean views. The asking price is $980,000, which is within their budget. However, they are concerned about the high maintenance fees, and Esther is not keen on the idea of having to deal with tenants.

The second condo is also located in a new development, but this one has only two bedrooms and two bathrooms. However, the apartment has beautiful ocean views and comes fully furnished. The asking price is $895,000, which is slightly lower than their budget. Esther and Richard love the property and are considering making an offer.

In the third condo, the couple visits a well-established development located on the beach. The apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and stunning views of the water. The asking price is $1.09 million, which is slightly above their budget. However, the property has an excellent rental history, and the maintenance fees are lower than in the previous condos they've visited. Esther and Richard are impressed with the property, but they are worried that it is too small for their guests.

In the end, Esther and Richard put in an offer on the second property, the fully furnished two-bedroom condo with ocean views in the new development. The couple is thrilled to have found their dream vacation home in Turks and Caicos and look forward to spending many relaxing holidays on the island.
