We are a young but progressive company with a long history of selling and renting real estate. Helping our clients find the right buyer for their property is what we do best. We give a fair and no nonsense description and appraisal of the properties we have seen and try to match what you are looking for with what we have seen or what is available in the market. We are focused on one customer at a time.
All of our sales staff have personally bought, sold, rented or converted properties in the past and therefore have personal experience in how to help our clients go through the process.
With over 25 years of experience in real estate the company is led by a hands on manager who loves what he does. David has a background in sales and marketing having studied business at Bournemouth University in the UK. He owned his own agency in the UK and returned to the Caribbean in 2002. Having lived in Jamaica and visited or worked in many of the other islands he has both international experience and local knowledge making him the ideal person to assist and advise both local and overseas buyers in their quest to find the right property in the Caribbean.
Caribbean Island Properties is focused on helping clients to achieve their goal in real estate and we have the interest and the expertise to help them achieve this aim.
With regard to borrowing money to purchase a property, we are in discussions with various lenders with a view to making information on what terms and conditions are available to our clients. We have considerable experience in this area and want to be as knowledgeable and informed as we can be on the topic so we can guide or simply act as a sounding board for our clients. We are even hoping to get beneficial rates for our customers, but that process is still in discussion.
