A newly-opened real estate firm has set its sights on becoming a major player in the real estate market by offering "synergies" to its clients through an alignment with a local financial institution.
Sterling Bahamas Realty Limited (SBR) is a full service boutique real estate agency with a "solution based approach to delivering result oriented services" including bank approved appraisals, residential and commercial sales and rentals, property management, vacation and yacht rentals, along with dock slip sales and rentals.
Dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Lamond and Robyn Davis, aligned with Sterling Financial Group Inc. (SFGI) to offer synergies that would result in a "seamless blend" of real estate services, particularly for international buyers.
"After being in the real estate industry for several years, we recognized the need for excellence in customer representation in the Bahamas real estate market," said Lamond Davis, the one time offshore banker, now real estate sales agent and president.
With SFGI as a consultant, SBR aims to function as a one-stop shop for Bahamians and international investors alike.
"We are able to refer our clients to SFGI for key services such as mortgage lending, project management and development, corporate representation and even investment management services," said Davis.
Robyn Davis, the firm's vice president, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. Her career in financial services spans 15 years.
Davis started her journey in commercial banking at RBC FINCO, before moving on to conveyance law at the law firms Graham Thompson & Co, then Lennox Paton. In addition to her education in financial service compliance, she also has a background in corporation and trust management from her time spent at the leading financial services firm, J.P. Morgan.
"Buying a home is one of the most important investments a family will make," said Davis. "We understand that, which is why we have put together a structure to make the process as simple and informative as possible, allowing our clients to make an informed decision."
Since opening for business in February 2014, SBR has secured sales for two Grand Bahama luxury homes, one of which is a unique boathouse with a million dollar townhome on the canal.
SBR also has sales pending on a vacant lot in Ocean Club Estates and two luxurious beach house villas located on the western end of Paradise Island.
"Our formula for success is a sound structure of unmatchable services, modern research tools and technology coupled with warm, receptive agents who are eager to listen," said Davis.
