JANINE CAREY JOINS DAMIANOS SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY AS AN ESTATE AGENT

NASSAU, The Bahamas (November 22, 2021) — George Damianos, Chief Executive Officer for Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty, and Lana Rademaker, Chief Brokerage Officer, are pleased to announce the addition of  Janine Carey to the sales team in Nassau.

“Between the accelerated rate of business this year and our firm’s well-established reputation as a market leader and a company which offers significant growth opportunities, we’ve attracted some very high-caliber agents so far this year, and Janine is no exception,” said Rademaker.

A longstanding member of the professional community in Nassau, Carey has been an entrepreneur and business owner on New Providence for more than 15 years with a significant portion of that career spent in health and wellness.

 “Utilizing my combined background in business, healthcare, and wellness, I approach my real estate business from a holistic perspective, focusing on homes and environments that offer my clients a sense of balance, well-being, and a healthy lifestyle, whatever that may mean for each individual,” Carey said.

In addition to her established success in building businesses and nurturing long-term client relationships, Carey has lived in five different countries including the U.S., Canada, Spain and Germany picking up a passion for cultural diversity along the way.

“Living in a variety of places has allowed me to experience the full evolution of moving to a new country and building a new life in many different environments—from renting in cities, to living on sustainable off-the-grid eco farms and homes—and I’ve found that each place requires its own unique version of immersion and local knowledge,” Carey said. “I know what it feels like to move to another country and start from scratch, finding dentists, doctors, a  local network and a community of like-minded people, so I truly enjoy leaning on my own relocation experiences to benefit my clients as they navigate their new lives in The Bahamas.”

“Janine’s entrepreneurial background, strong community ties and proven dedication to excellence in client service make her a valuable addition to our team,” Rademaker said. “And with her diverse base of clients, she’s well-positioned to thrive in the global network that defines Sotheby’s International Realty as a brand.”

Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty Grows Sales Team In Key Markets

NASSAU, The Bahamas (March 17, 2021) — George Damianos, Chief Executive Officer for Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty, and Lana Rademaker, Chief Brokerage Officer, are pleased to announce the addition of three new estate agents: Colleen Carey, who will be based in the Harbour Island office in Eleuthera, Scott Ferguson, who will be based in Treasure Cay, Abaco, and Candis Lakin who will join the sales team in Nassau.

“We’ve seen an increase in activity in all markets since travel restrictions began to lift in January,” Rademaker said. “Eleuthera, including Harbour Island and Spanish Wells, has been a particularly active market over the past six months with a strong demand for turnkey beachfront homes and oceanfront estates. We are also very encouraged by the surge of interest in Abaco properties which will contribute to the ongoing rebuilding efforts post-Hurricane Dorian.

Formerly a co-owner of Studio Ohana in Nassau, Carey has returned to The Bahamas after spending a period of time in the U.S.

“The Harbour Island market is a unique one, even among other luxury markets,” Rademaker said. “It’s an intimate, sophisticated community where discretion and curating long-term relationships are highly valued. Colleen’s natural ability to make deep connections with those around her and her knack for instantly making them feel comfortable make her an excellent fit for this tight-knit community. ”

Ferguson, also a native Bahamian, has been a longstanding successful member of the Abaco business community for decades taking part in a variety of industries including retail, passenger marine transport and construction/development.

“Scott has an extensive personal and professional network and is well-respected as a businessman throughout The Bahamas,” Rademaker said. “He sincerely enjoys being involved in his community and is extremely focused on helping businesses rebuild and thrive throughout Abaco.”

Lakin has spent the past 10  years cultivating her knowledge of Nassau’s highest-end luxury markets while managing marketing strategy and client relations as an Executive Assistant for company owner and Chief Executive Officer George Damianos and top producer, Nick Damianos.

“Candis’ daily interaction with some of our company’s most high-net-worth clients over the years has offered her a unique perspective on our business and the relationships we’ve spent decades nurturing,” Rademaker said. “Her insight into this unique segment of our client base and her extensive understanding of their needs means she’ll hit the ground running as a sales agent. We’re extremely supportive of this new career path she’s chosen.”

DAMIANOS SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY ADDS TWO NEW ESTATE AGENTS TO CAPITALIZE ON GROWTH IN THE BAHAMAS LUXURY REAL ESTATE MARKET

 

NASSAU, The Bahamas (June 12, 2019) — George Damianos, Chief Executive Officer for Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty, and Lana Rademaker, Chief Brokerage Officer, are pleased to announce the addition of two new estate agents: Jacqueline Lightbourn and Christopher Ansell.

“In our ongoing effort to be proactive leaders in the market, we are consistently on the lookout for talented professionals who are aligned with our client-centric company values,” Rademaker said. “Both of these new agents have spent a considerable amount of time in their previous careers building valuable relationships in the community, and they are a welcome addition to our team.”

Formerly the owner of one of Nassau’s most reputable Chiropractic practices, Lightbourn spent 14 years cultivating the successful growth of her business. In her transition into real estate, Lightbourn will draw upon those relationships she’s carefully nurtured.

“The successful growth of Jacqueline’s chiropractic business is a testament to her attention to detail, caring nature, and utmost professionalism,” Rademaker said. “In addition, her entrepreneurial mindset will be an advantage as she builds her real estate career.”

Similarly, Ansell spent a decade developing deep client relationships through his work as a real estate attorney with a top-tier Bahamian law firm in Nassau. Over the course of his legal career, Ansell represented resort developers and high-net-worth home buyers and sellers, advising on investment regulatory framework, concessionary tax legislation, financing, land title, immigration and economic residency.

“Christopher’s legal knowledge and sharp negotiation skills will set him apart as an estate agent,” said Rademaker. “There are very few agents, if any, in The Bahamas who can speak as specifically to the legal ins-and-outs of contract negotiations as Christopher can with his extensive legal background, especially when it comes to navigating permanent residency requirements and obtaining financing.”
