What Irish Residents Need to Know about Selling their Orlando Homes

Holiday Homes near Disney World, America's most popular tourist destination, appeals to a growing number of people who call the Republic of Ireland home. Many Irish residents have purchased real estate in Orlando and the communities around Disney, including Kissimmee, Davenport, Clermont, and Haines City.

When it comes to selling property in the United States, the rules can be very different from those in Ireland, especially for Irish owners, or Non-U.S. Residents (as they are referred to in America). Many Irish owners find it challenging to sell a second home, vacation rental or investment property in Florida.

Irish owners must comply with strict U.S. rules to successfully sell their Orlando area property. The main tax law that foreign homeowners must adhere to is called the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, also known as FIRPTA.

In addition, property owners from the Republic of Ireland who live outside of the U.S. usually rely on a management company, service providers, and even guests to maintain their property in the best condition possible.

That’s why so many foreign owners hire Team Donovan to sell their Orlando area real estate. As a firm experienced with Irish owners, we offer an unbiased opinion on the condition and value of the property, provide unmatched clear and concise communication, and deliver a stress-free process for our sellers.


“As everyone knows selling your home can be so stressful and daunting, we cannot believe how stress-free Team Donovan made this for us. The service they gave us was unbelievable.” Chris O, Ireland
