I'm in the process of trying to buy a house in the Azores. I've already seen the house in person and had an inspection done etc. Its a cash deal with no realtor involved. The problem I am having is they want me there in person to sign zee papers. I found someone there willing to act as POA for me but the catch 22 is they want me there in person to sign the POA papers! Only alternative offered is to go to the Portuguese Embassy in DC and sign the POA papers there. Its 6 hours away and I can't drive that far as I have a limited license due to failing vision.
I am wondering if anyone has found a way to successfully purchase a house there from the US?
