A Successful Virtual Sale | Strategy & Solutions

Challenge #1 | Breathe New Life Into Previously Listed Home

Because Comfortably Numb had been on the market for about four years before being listed with The Ansell Group, it was imperative that Chris and Vanessa make it their first goal to present the home in a fresh light.  Over the course of several days, The Ansell Group set about staging every room of the home, creating an all-new look and feel, and providing an updated vision of the home’s potential. 

Challenge #2 | Sell Home Virtually During COVID-19

Listed for sale by The Ansell Group in January and placed under contract in September, the bulk of the marketing for Comfortably Numb took place during lockdown mandates. Due to travel restrictions, The Ansell Group created a 3D property tour so that buyers could virtually tour the property from the comfort of their homes.

Challenge #3 | Encourage Buyer To View The Home As Their Own

Initially, the new owner of Comfortably Numb liked the home but didn’t love it. She couldn’t quite visualize how she could transform the current space into the space she dreamed of. To help her get the full scope of the home’s potential, The Ansell Group created floor plans and called upon the Lyford Cay Sotheby’s International Realty network of architects and builders to solicit advice on how the space could be better used. 

Conclusion | Creativity + Technology + Brand Network = Success

Despite the obstacles that arose during the marketing of Comfortably Numb, The Ansell Group capitalized on creative thinking, innovative technology, and their vast network of industry professionals to achieve a successful sale for their client, and create a seamless buying experience for their buyer. The home’s new owner is now transforming Comfortably Numb into the home of their dreams.

A Guide to Living in The Bahamas

A Guide to Living in The Bahamas. Known officially as the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, The Bahamas is an archipelagic state consisting of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean. Below is a brief overview of our beautiful country.

DEMOGRAPHICS

The Bahamas is a chain of 700 islands and cays, approximately 30 of which are inhabited. The population is estimated to be slightly more than 300,000 people, most of whom reside on New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco and Eleuthera Islands Islands. The Bahamian archipelago begins about 50 miles off the coast of Florida and stretches for 550 miles to the Southeast. The Bahamas is an independent, English-speaking country with an adult literacy rate among the best in the world (95%).

INFRASTRUCTURE

The Bahamas has comprehensive and modern infrastructure, with electricity and water in abundant supply. Telecommunications services and facilities in the Bahamas are state-of-the-art, with direct international links provided through a 100% digital switching system.

THE BAHAMAS MAIN ISLANDS

New Providence (pop. 241,200); Grand Bahama (pop. 61,300); Abaco (pop. 17,224); Eleuthera (pop. 11,165); Exuma (pop. 7,314); Andros (pop. 8,000).

CURRENCY OF THE BAHAMAS

The official currency of the Bahamas is the Bahamian dollar. The Bahamian dollar is equal in value to the U.S. dollar, and the two are used inter-changeably throughout the islands.

THE BAHAMAS GOVERNMENT

The Bahamas has an extremely stable and pro-business Government, with the longest running uninterrupted democracy in the Western Hemisphere (over 280 years). On July 10, 1973, The Bahamas gained its independence from Great Britain and remains a fully democratic nation, governed by its own Parliament and Constitution. The Constitution of the Bahamas proclaims the islands as a sovereign democratic state, sets forth requirements for citizenship and guarantees fundamental human rights. The Bahamas retains its ties with the Commonwealth of Nations (formerly the British Commonwealth) and also retains the British monarch as its figurative head of state.

The Bahamas, comprised of over 3,000 islands and cays, has an established reputation of being the ideal tropical getaway.
