Robert Greenwood was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Greenwood’s illustrious career with credible experience abroad building an understanding of his clientele, joining the highly esteemed Christie's International team, and his eventual ascendancy in the Turks & Caicos Islands luxury real estate market.

With veteran knowledge and proficiencies in high-value sales, resort management, development, and offshore investment, he has more than 35 years of personal work experience within the Turks and Caicos Islands. His extensive portfolio includes golf courses, condominiums, colleges, and hotel resort projects. Being affiliated with Christie's International Real Estate for almost a decade now, Greenwood has gained invaluable experience in the luxury real estate market guiding buyers with experience, professionalism, and trust.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Greenwood.

Seth Semilof: What exactly is a partner of the Regency Christie's International Real Estate and member of the Christie's Masters Circle?

Robert Greenwood: Christie's International Real Estate is one of the top luxury real estate brands in the world. We have been affiliated with Christie's for almost two decades now. With an investment angle, that has really helped us with our global exposure and the trust of the brand name. We have a fantastic team here at Christie's in the Turks and Caicos Islands with a breadth of knowledge. It is a great collaboration with Christie's and our team of 10 agents works very efficiently in the high-net-worth, high-value world of real estate.

SS: What made you want to get into real estate on the buy and sell side?

RG: It happened organically. At one point, I did the triad where I had a management company, a construction company, and a real estate company where one would feed the other. I did that for a long time, but I always gravitated towards real estate. I love the different styles of architecture. I really enjoy interacting with the people that we meet here. We get such a wide demographic of buyers from across the world, and you never know who you are actually dealing with everything from A-listers to captains of industry. The Turks is not just reserved for mega villas in the $20 million range. We are very price affordable in certain areas and certain condos, so I get to meet some incredible people.

SS: How was the island when you first launched the brokerage firm? What was your strategy?

RG: It was certainly very different than it is today. We did not have the technology that we have today. We did not have the inventory that we had today, but we also did not have the amount of brokerages. There are 16 brokerages within the Turks, but back then, it was three or four. It has always been very word of mouth in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was slow-moving. Operating a real estate company was not aggressive at all and did not need to be. I do say quite often I have never really sold any real estate. The island already does that for me. My job is to simply guide you through the process.

SS: Tell us about who your mentor was or who helped mold you into where you are at today.

RG: I cannot mention his name, but he has an extensive background in commercial real estate in Canada. He was actually one of my first sales. The majority of my clients become my friends. You have to have the passion and the love of what you do. I love living in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I love what I do and love the people I meet. People see that and they recognize it is authentic. That is what makes the difference. You can read all the books you would like. You can have all the mentors you like. You can learn all the psychology of sales, but it really comes down to true authenticity. Make sure buyers get what they want. They will tell you everything you need to know.

SS: Who are the buyers? Where are they coming from?

RG: A lot of buyers are from the United States. It is a big demographic for us, and we are so easy to get to. It is a hop, skip, and a jump three and a half hours from New York. 90 minutes from Miami. We have direct flights from Charlotte, from Atlanta, and from Houston. Now, we are getting interest from new demographics in California and Vegas. Predominantly, U.S. buyers, but Europe is another big one and South America. The grand prize here is going to be exceptional, not just for real estate, but for tourism. They go parallel when you come down here. You fall in love on vacation, and we can offer you a condo from $290,000 to $68 million or $86 million. It has the full range.

The entire residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s protégé, Robert Green, one of Atlanta’s experts of modern architecture. Guests of the Midsummer Modern event were treated to what seemed like a gorgeous art gallery as they sipped rosé and viewed masterpieces from acclaimed artists like Harry Bertoia, George Nelson, Hugh Acton, Eero Saarinen, Herman Miller, Russel Wright, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Ian Tyson, Salvador Dali, Paul Taylor, Tapio Wirkkala, Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green. Visitors also listened to music by DJ Xzact.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s great-granddaughter, designer Melissa Galt, was the special guests at this year’s event. Galt is a designer with Burns Century, an independent design consultant based in Atlanta. The event was hosted by Debra Johnston, Luxury Real Estate Specialist with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Luxury Collection.

“The home is a mid-century masterpiece brought back to life and style by designer Burns Century in a thoughtful and thorough renovation. From the moment you step inside you feel a sense of calm and connection. The organic materials of stone, slate, river rock and expanses of glass truly bring the outdoors in and the geometry of the skylights creates a dance of light and shadow that is mesmerizing. While an open plan, it doesn’t suffer the challenges of many homes today that seem to be all one room. Instead, the living room is a step down from the dining, and the kitchen is just out of sight though not closed off by a door. There is an inviting flow and wonderful feeling of privacy and even mystery in the master bedroom wing. Additional bedrooms and baths are on the opposite side of the house, the perfect balance. It’s a house that welcomes one or one hundred with equal ease and doesn’t inform how you live as much as it accommodates and compliments your life," said Galt.

The real estate team invited their Instagram giveaway winners to the special gathering. The winners indulged in a private catered dinner from Dennis Dean. They helped themselves to Hoisin Glazed Salmon Filet and Local Georgia Peach Caprese Salad. For dessert, they enjoyed a Fig and Almond Tart.
