Glenn
Glenn's Insider Tip:

"Most of my international clients need all four services — they just don't realize it until they're deep into the process. Having one person who handles everything prevents the miscommunication that happens when three separate firms try to coordinate."

Which Islands Does Glenn Cover?

Glenn works across six major Bahamas markets — and will honestly tell you which one fits your goals, even if it's not what you expected. A rental-income buyer needs a different island than a privacy-seeking buyer.

From First Call to Closing — 60-90 Days

Glenn manages every step of the buying process. You never need to coordinate between separate firms. Typical timeline: 60-90 days from accepted offer to closing. Cash purchases can be faster.

1

Discovery Call

Budget, island, property type, goal. Glenn curates a matched shortlist from MLS + off-market inventory. WhatsApp is the fastest channel — most clients start there.

2

Property Review

Virtual tours, HOA analysis, comparable closed sales, rental pro-formas. Narrow to your top 3-5 options. Glenn provides line-by-line cost estimates for each property.

3

Offer & Negotiate

Written offer with 10% escrow deposit. Glenn negotiates using actual closed-sale comps — not asking prices. Stamp duty split is negotiable (not always 50/50).

Why a Bahamas Realtor — Not a Listing Portal

The biggest risk in Bahamas real estate isn't the market — it's working with the wrong person or relying on a listing portal. Scraper sites show outdated, already-sold, or inaccurately priced listings.

Off-market access: Many luxury Bahamas properties sell before appearing on the MLS. Glenn's relationships across Lyford Cay, Ocean Club, Albany, Old Fort Bay, and the Family Islands surface opportunities before the public sees them.

Comparable sales data: Portals show asking prices. Glenn provides actual closed sale prices, $/sqft trends by neighbourhood, and days-on-market data — the intelligence that drives smart negotiation and prevents overpaying.

HOA and rental analysis: Before any offer, Glenn reviews HOA documents to verify short-term rental rules, identifies pending special assessments, checks reserve fund status, and provides property-specific rental pro-formas — not generic island averages from a blog.

Full-service execution: Attorney coordination, title search oversight, stamp duty negotiation (not every deal is 50/50), closing management, and EPR filing for $1M+ buyers. One relationship replaces multiple firms.

Mistake to Avoid: Searching Bahamas property through scraper sites and assuming the prices, availability, and photos are current. Many listings on third-party portals are outdated, already sold, or show asking prices that don't reflect actual market value. Glenn provides verified, active MLS inventory plus off-market properties.
Glenn
Glenn's Insider Tip:

"The question isn't which property to buy — it's which property to buy for your goals. I've talked clients out of properties that looked perfect on paper but had HOA restrictions, hidden assessments, or wrong island fit. That's the difference between 24 years of experience and a listing page."
