Advancing the future of civilizations while empowering the workforce for tomorrow.
Real estate is different in Belize.
There is no MLS.
There is no real estate licensing.
And, there is no structured real estate training to help agents sell more properties for a fair price.
If you are looking to buy a property in Belize, you are going to have a tough time doing it on your own.
If you are looking to sell a property in Belize, you are going to have a tougher time if you don't hire the right real estate company first.
It is not uncommon for properties to be on the market for several years in Belize before an offer is made on your property for sale in Belize. You don't want your future retirement plans to be on hold for a decade. It's my goal to help you as a seller or as a real estate agent in Belize up your game.
There are three factors that determine how fast a property will sell and you the seller are responsible for two.
What makes me qualified to sell a property in Belize?
A prospective property seller who owns a resort in Belize asked me what marketing activities I would do to help sell their property. I've been hired numerous times by the National Association of REALTORS, Canadian Real Estate Association, Florida REALTORS, and Texas REALTORS, and spoken at international real estate sales convention on digital marketing so I feel as if it is my responsibility to help everyone (including real estate agents in Belize) understand some of the possibilities.
Credentials mean something too. I've earned the Certified International Property Specialist designation (2009) Certified Residential Specialist (2006), Accredited Buyer's Representative (2006), Seller Representative Specialist (2006), e-PRO certified (2005), and more letters behind my name although personally, I don't carry active membership right now with the organizations that support them even though my principal broker Macarena Rose does.
You can read the recommendations on my Linkedin profile to see. Oh, and if you think I should be worried about another agent in Belize stealing my marketing plan, I wish them luck. It's nearly impossible for anyone to produce the same quality, speed, and cost to deliver these services. It's important to know what you are missing out on when comparing dragon fruit vs. papayas. If you are a real estate agent in Belize looking to make a change to a more progressive company, consider joining the family.
