Patrick MerkenThe Agency RE · Belize
Discovered Belize in 2016. Moved for good in 2022.

Belgian by birth.
Belizean by choice.

I bought my first piece of Belize in 2016 and never looked back. Now I help fellow Europeans and North Americans make the same move.

My story

I found Belize in 2016.
I never really left.

First trip was 2016 — bought property before I even knew what I was doing. Moved for good in December 2022.

I live in Silk Grass, fifteen minutes from Hopkins and Dangriga. I speak Dutch, French, and English, so you get a straight answer in whichever language is easiest for you.
