The
Hamptons--an exclusive playground that buzzes with the movers and shakers of New
York in the summer months--is a place where residents are fast discovering the
advantages of moving the good times south to The Bahamas in the winter, thanks
to a new partnership between Coldwell Banker James Sarles Realty and premier
real estate agency, Dering Harbor Real Estate, in Shelter Island. Their representative
and real estate agent, Christine Matthäi, is introducing unique properties in The
Bahamas to her clientele in The Hamptons and New York.

Broker James Sarles sees an opportunity for people in The Hamptons to take
advantage of the quick two-hour flight from New York to The Bahamas to beat the
cold weather blues. Hopping aboard a jet to the clear turquoise seas of Grand
Bahama Island--and the nearly 700 islands and cays of The Bahamas--is a short
trip to a world where the summer fun of The Hamptons keeps spinning in a
tropical winter.
