I am sorry to hear about Anjariasonal's horrible experience. However, to make a blanket statement that "buying property in St. Maarten is unsafe" is as inaccurate as if I presumed every transaction will go off without a hitch as mine did. It sounds as if she may well need to consult an attorney on the island. It may be money well-spent since the law does allow for recourse.

As always, buyer beware of the entity being purchased and of the consultants hired.
