"Agents provide three distinct advantages: objectivity, market intelligence, and honed sales skills. Combined with fiduciary responsibility to the vendor, they simplify the sales process and optimize opportunities to sell the property at the best price possible in the shortest amount of time." - Sue Nickason, Provenance Properties, Cayman Islands.

"Having a trusted adviser is critical to selling a home in this challenging market. Your agent will have knowledge of the market, be able to identify a qualified buyer, and be able to market effectively toward a quick sale." - Leslie S. Modell, Midtown East, New York City, NY.

"It's hard to keep this answer short as there are so many reasons to not go it alone! I suppose the quickest way to draw a parallel is, would you defend yourself in a court of law or would you hire a professional?  Would you repair your own car after a fender bender or would you hire a professional?  Would you fill your own cavity or would you hire a professional? Did you know that most for sale by owner sellers think they'll save money by wading through the world of real estate on their own, but on average, for sale by owner homes sell for less than the market average?  Why not hire a professional to take care of you every step of the way?" - Anne-Britt Østlund, Telluride, CO.

"The Real Estate Agent value proposition is truly valuable to a transaction, as it brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the transaction, extrapolating at the same time, the emotional attachments that sellers typically have to the Real Estate." - Bento Queiroz, Southwest Ranches, FL.

"A qualified REALTOR® offers key components such as marketing expertise, negotiation skills, wider exposure and a professional rather than emotional approach to each transaction." - Jennifer Shemwell, President, Phyllis Browning Company, San Antonio, TX.

"We have a huge advantage because of our experience – with marketing, transactions, and relationships with experts in the community. Plus, I always have buyers who are looking. We make the entire process easier by handling all the details, so the seller doesn’t have to." - Darlene Streit, New Mexico.

"15 hours a day,  estate agents interact with fellow brokers, potential clients, and other industry partners, providing access to a far larger sales network. Most importantly, having a professional Estate agent present your home also takes the emotions and nostalgia out of the transaction, allowing them to present the property in a way that appeals to the broader range of buyers. This puts the focus on the main points that will appeal to the current market conditions, rather than focusing on the lifetime of memories created by the owners, or factors that are no longer relevant. The aim is to sell quickly at the best value, agents are in the best position to do this." - Justin White, Anchor Antigua Realty, Antigua.

"As we move out of 2020, we have seen significant increases in both inquiries and sales activity for our real estate product in the TCI.  We expect this trend to continue and strengthen exponentially through 2021. The myriad of benefits the islands offer and the fact that we fared so well during the pandemic has shown the TCI to be more desirable than ever before." - Robert Greenwood, Turks & Caicos Islands.

“We are optimistic that 2021 will be another great year. We have become trusted advisors to our International clients who appreciate the quality of people, place and lifestyle the Cayman Islands offers and this is prompting them to buy luxury vacation properties here and to earn permanent residency through investing in real estate.” - Sue Nickason, Cayman Islands.

"I expect that real estate in the Caribbean will continue to gain exposure and increase in desire. If 2020 has shown us anything, it's just how important our surroundings are to living a happy and healthy life. With Antigua's low infection rate, low crime rate, low-density population, warm climate, and health and active lifestyle options, we have seen an increase in the interest of both homeownership and Holiday rental inquiries. People are eager to experience what life can be like in a safe, tropical environment." - Justin White, Antigua.

The post Caribbean Real Estate Expectations For 2021 appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Despite the difficulties 2020 has presented, the team at Provenance Properties has seen real estate sales continue and even increase throughout the COVID-19 lockdown and since shelter in place was lifted in the Cayman Islands in late June. Having transacted a number of recent sales over the summer, Fleur Coleman, lead sales specialist at Provenance Properties Cayman Islands – the official Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate shares how she accommodated overseas clients and online viewings, all while homeschooling her eight-year-old son Max.

How did you pivot your work style during the lockdown? Did you find virtual client services difficult?

I found it quite easy to adapt to virtual meetings with my colleagues and clients during the lockdown. Our meetings with clients focused on getting to know them and building a relationship so I could truly understand their preferences when matching them with properties. I was able to offer valuable client services without meeting in person or doing an in-person showing.

You have recently closed on a number of sales! What has contributed to the sales activity you have seen in the last six months?

We were busy during lockdown because people were home and had time to look for properties online and chat with me. We only got busier once businesses re-opened domestically – even with overseas clients who cannot travel just yet. We had four virtual showings in the last week! Many of our clients are from the United States and want to move to the Cayman Islands to provide a safe place for their families. As a destination, Cayman has much to offer – in addition to our well-established benefits of being a stunning destination, tax-neutral, safe, sophisticated and diverse, the country did an incredible job in containing the spread of the virus so we now represent a safe haven for people to come and live while much of the rest of the world is still in crisis.

Our sales activity has picked up because of the marketing and sales programmes we have in place. Our brokerage is uniquely positioned due to the bespoke relationships and distribution channels afforded us by our affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate and the extensive international business development programmes in niche markets we have been establishing in the last two years. These channels proved to be critical to our success this year because we now have such a well-established buyer’s network and we are regarded as the trusted advisors for high-net-worth clients looking to establish a presence in Cayman.

In the last week alone, we’ve put six properties under contract, including a penthouse at The Residences at Seafire and land in Red Bay. Even during these uncertain times, people are still interested in purchasing property for investment purposes. The last week was the busiest week I’ve ever had in real estate.

What was it like working from home while also homeschooling Max?

It was definitely a challenge to adjust during the first few weeks of working from home and homeschooling my son. He had virtual classes around the same time I had virtual meetings with clients. Without a nanny, it made it more difficult to adjust. However, once we had a system in place, it became much easier for both of us, and we were able to make the most of it!

How has this year made you reflect on your career in real estate?

It was a career change for me when I moved into real estate, but I have never been happier. I love working with a great team, I love the flexibility of the job, and as a homebody myself, I love being able to match my clients with their ideal homes.

Photo Credit: Provenance Properties Cayman Islands

What do you think the real estate market in the Cayman Islands is going to look like over the next year?

I expect we might see some fluctuation on lower-priced properties towards the end of the year but I don’t expect prices for high-end properties to decrease any time soon. If the real estate industry is thriving in Cayman during a pandemic, we can only imagine how successful it will be once borders reopen and the world returns to normal.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Dan Conn: "This market dropped harder and faster than any market that I can recall, and it has rebounded quicker than any time I can recall... More people in the luxury end are focused on having another home. I think that's a permanent change... If you're into the New York life, you're in the New York Life. You don't leave it... We're not just focused on global real estate. We are focused on luxury goods and the sale of the greatest art objects in the world...

Sue Nickason: "What's interesting is the interest and the inquiries that we're getting from new markets. So obviously Hong Kong, mainland China, India, some parts of Latin America that, historically, [from which] we hadn't received a lot of interest. Those inquiries are coming through trusted advisors, such as private client lawyers, accountants, and affiliates and agents in other jurisdictions. It comes back to globally mobile affluent individuals looking to future proof in terms of residency and in terms of having a place of safe refuge such as the Cayman Islands."

Nancy Almodovar: "Christie's International Real Estate [has] been such a great resource not just on educating myself and my team on what it is to offer not only luxury properties but also luxury service. That has been great, and then being able to connect with so many of our affiliates all around the world, and be able to service our clients when they're looking to move to those parts of the world."

Sonja Cullaro: "We have seen an influx of buyers and renters from New York City into our markets across northern New Jersey and Westchester and the Hudson Valley. It started more for short-term rentals and then it quickly morphed into buyer interest. We have seen people looking for both primary and secondary residences. When they're looking for secondary residences, it's always with an eye on the school system and the fact that the secondary residence may become a primary residence in the future.

Alex Jansen: "The Aspen market came back with a vengeance. Aspen has seen at least 100% uptick as far as under-contracts right now compared to the same time last year because there was this big lag. In April and May, the closings were very anemic, but we're seeing lots of very large properties go under contract north of $10 million, and some north of $20 million in that market. In Clearwater, the month of July is slated to be the best month on record based on volume for the Tampa Bay Area.

Brian Meier: "Since the reopening of New York City, we've been very busy. We have not seen prices drop dramatically. There have been some adjustments. It's going to need a little more time to tell where it's going to shake out, but the people who are leaving Manhattan, most of them are putting their properties on the market for rent. We have had a very slight increase in the saturation on the sales side, but we do have a lot of demand."

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Diane Holowesko: "we started a campaign that was called 'You were here for us will be you were here for us, we will be there for you,' promoting a message that, especially to our existing clients and our client database, how much we appreciate them and when we do open back up, we are going to be here for (them)... As of yesterday, the government started allowing private aircraft and yachts (into the Bahamas) from around the world... The possibility of COVID-19  coming along is somewhat high. So we need to position ourselves to be ready to service our clients and meet their needs virtually if we happen to go into another lockdown again come this winter... What we do is lay out our tax situation so that clients use the information to their benefit... The Bahamas clients come from the US, Canada, the UK, and South America. It's simple to purchase in the Bahamas. The turnaround time is 30-45 days. We help the new buyers set up bank accounts and establish accounts with the utilities... For $750,000, you can apply for permanent residency in the Bahamas, not requiring to spend a specific number of days (here)... The proximity to the US helps us because the government treats us more like family. I think a lot of our buyers and investors find comfort in that fact. We have the tax benefits and stability of our government.

Laurent Locchi: "(During the quarantine,) it was not really the moment for selling things. It was much more a kind of being strung together message than selling properties ... For foreigners, there is no income, capital gains, or inheritance tax, and you can be a resident by renting or buying a property... The best advantage we have is being a micro-state. The information (about COVID-19) was given in real-time, which was not really the case for other countries...Being a micro-state and having that proximity to the authorities helps. Everybody knows everybody and can share information with each other... The use of WhatsApp is incredible. I mean, the way we use WhatsApp groups (internally), for example, or just directly (with) the clients. It was really a big demand for real-time information because everything was frozen... Monaco is known for being the playground of the rich, but there's a real quality of life here in the middle of Europe with this Mediterranean climate. It is a dynamic state, always trying to reinvent itself, always welcoming to all foreigners. I know why everyone wants to live in Monaco, and I'm sure when you come here, you will know."

Sue Nickason: "We have been focusing on relationship-building, thoughtful analysis of the need of our customers, and producing content services to meet that need... Clients are looking for factual information and easy to find information. We've always positioned ourselves as trusted advisors to our clients. More importantly than ever, it's about being purveyors of that information.... The Cayman Islands attract ultra-high-net-worth individuals who are globally mobile and want to establish permanent residency here to take advantage of the tax neutrality... Buyers are coming to establish a permanent residence, vacation property, and investment properties... If there's any silver lining, it's that governments have made services more available on digital... Tax neutrality, low density, high standard of living, infrastructure, and we are the culinary capital of the Caribbean. We have a beautiful natural marine environment that invites amazing diving and marine activities. The Cayman Islands has everything to be as active or as relaxed as you choose to be here... We focus on developing places where people want to spend their lives. Safety and stability is going to be an important part of the value that we offer here going forward... We really are a pro-business environment. This is a place where you know we have very well qualified people in the private sector, a very efficient civil service that focuses on attracting new business and residents. That's all done through a beautiful Cayman-kind culture.

Owning a private island is a dream for many people. The ability to wake up in your private oasis while also having access to your private beach is something many of us dream about. Now, this can become a reality in the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands is a great example of Caribbean living offering a private island experience without compromising on infrastructure. Grand Cayman, which is the largest island, has been deemed as a preferred address for establishing a second home with its ease of access, luxury waterfront properties, and advanced infrastructure. These three reasons are what makes living in the Cayman Islands a great place to call home.

Ease of access

With its proximity to the United States, Grand Cayman’s international airport has over 55 nonstop flights on leading airlines from major various cities every week. Upon arrival, the private homes are easily accessible with a 10- to 40-minute drive from the airport.

Luxury waterfront properties available

These luxury homes are designed by some of the best architects that exceed all expectations. From spacious penthouses with stunning views of Seven Mile Beach to expansive waterfront compounds to accommodate families, there is a property option for everyone. If you are looking for more privacy, the sister islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are an option.

Advanced infrastructure

The Cayman Islands has an amazing infrastructure. On Grand Cayman, there are three well-equipped and managed hospitals with an extensive network of 1,000+ healthcare professionals.

For anyone looking to buy real estate in the Cayman Islands for investment, as a vacation home or as a permanent residence will see that Grand Cayman offers many options. Acquiring a home is a simple process thanks to the lack of restrictions on foreign ownership of land and an efficient network of professional service advisors who work with a service-oriented civil service to convey property transactions efficiently. The local banks offer finance options for qualified foreign buyers, adding to the benefits of owning property in the Cayman Islands.

Provenance Properties, the official Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate in the Cayman Islands, sold more million-dollar properties in 2019 than any other Cayman Islands brokerage. The Provenance team understands the needs of clients seeking a private island-style property in the Cayman Islands and provides exceptional service and market data to help clients in fulfilling their needs.

Three panels of experts, brokers and developers from Miami to New York, from the Caribbean to Los Angeles, and up the coast to San Francisco informed and interacted with the audience in the capacity-filled event space.

If you added the total value of the transactions of luxury real estate all of them have been responsible over the course of their careers on a spreadsheet, you would end up seeing multiple billions of dollars as the result.

The Summit started on the evening of this past Tuesday, February 11th with an intimate dinner inside the building's Armani Restaurant, where Italian cuisine was the star of the evening. Just like the panels that would take place the following day, diners experienced a three-course meal that delighted the palate.

The real estate developer panel, titled "Titans of Miami," kicked off the highly anticipated Haute Residence 2020 Luxury Miami Real Estate Summit panels (read full recap here).

The panelists spoke extensively about the past, present and future of development growth in Miami, South Florida, on national, and international levels. Their developments in Miami have generated worldwide headlines and were rightfully highlighted in their answers. As well-known names in the real estate and development community, they were the perfect start to the Summit.

The Miami Power Brokers panel closed the daylong study and dialogue with a talk about the real estate market in Miami and the broader South Florida area that includes Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties (read full recap here).

They spoke about the current state of the real estate market in Miami-Dade and close communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are a quick drive up I-95 and enjoy the same South Florida weather yearlong. Other topics included: What makes Miami and South Florida such an active destination for many around the country and the world, contrasts between the renting and buying markets, the ins and outs of searching and asking for proof of funds from potential buyers, the impact of brand names on a project, and more.

Most importantly for the industry insiders, brokers and agents in attendance that filled the event space to capacity, the panelists gave their tips on how to market and engage higher-priced listings and clients that come with it.

Queen of New York real estate Dolly Lenz emphasized how important it is to know and relate to a high net worth client, saying, "Read The Wall Street Journal. Know what's going on in politics; in business; where the pitfalls are, so you can share that with them. I think that's key." Her daughter, Jenny Lenz, joined her mother four years ago at Dolly Lenz Real Estate, learning about the best from the best, and brought that knowledge into the panel.

Cody Vichinsky, Founding Partner at Bespoke Real Estate, focuses his company on $10+ million listings only with an in-house team of agents and staff that tailor their listings' marketing, such as Burnt Point in The Hamptons. "We look at the market very focused in the high luxury market. We have no independent agents, so our model is entirely different from a conventional brokerage business. It's more dynamic."

Olivia Hsu Decker, Co-owner of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, which encompasses over two dozen offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, hit the target as she described the luxury real estate world. "Our business is a people business," she said.

Jay Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Brokerage, addressed the luxury market in Miami compared to other cosmopolitan cities. "You look at luxury (real estate) in other cities compared to Miami and you find that our price points (in Miami) are pretty attractive".

Michael Goldstein, President of The Trump Group, highlighted the migration to South Florida from the north as he oversees sales of The Estates at Acqualina. " 75% of our business is coming from New York," he said.

Ben Bacal, a leader in the Los Angeles real estate and creator of the Rila app, gave his expertise on the LA market. "Since 2017-2018, properties in Hillcrest have gone down in price to where they need to be. We see an uptick in international buyers. I want to teach my agents to be powerhouses in each of their market and become power agents in those areas. "

One of New York’s most successful brokers of apartments and townhouses, Richard Steinberg held nothing back as he compared and contrasted the buyers and sellers in the lower-priced and higher-priced markets. "Every seller thinks they charge too little. Every buyer thinks they pay too much,” he said. “But they buy it because they want it. My advice to people (brokers) is to go for the big stuff because it's much harder to sell the small stuff," encouraging the live audience and those that watched the live stream on Instagram to reach higher.

Sue Nickason, based in the Cayman Islands and Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Dart Real Estate, had a unique insight on the small island “tax haven”. "Our sweet spot is beach, beach, beach,” she said. “We have a brokerage that did the most sales in the Cayman Islands last year, just shy of $100 million."

On the influence of technology in the luxury real estate market, Dolly Lenz said, "I think it's playing a small role. I find it to be hyped at the moment. In five years, applications will really change how we do business."

Mary Ann Osborn, Leading Broker at Century City, followed on that, "The older people come in through signage on the property and require you to hand-hold them through the process," about the extra personal touch that comes when selling luxury real estate, particularly to people that are not as engaged with technology as younger generations.

A long round of applause was given to the panelists at the end, many who had traveled from far to participate in the Summit.

The three-course dinner of fine Italian cuisine included an antipasto option of Polpette (beef, pork and veal meatballs), a Caprese Salad, and Insalata di Cesare. The secondi included a selection of Bronzino (broiled Mediterranean sea bass), Parmigiano di Pollo Arrosto (roasted herb chicken breast), Bistecca (dry-aged filet mignon), and Tortellini Bolognese (classic red wine meat sauce). To end on a sweet note, the dolci offered tiramisu, alfajores (shortbread cookies), and a Lemon Sorbetto (amaretti cookie).
