BAHAMAS

The Bahamas is truly an investor’s paradise for many reasons including a skilled professional workforce, stable government and economy, sound legal framework, modern infrastructure, proximity to key markets and investment incentive policies.

A Message From John Christie CEO, HG CHRISTIE LTD.

O

ur reputation for being the ‘Trusted Authority in Bahamas Real Estate’ has been earned. It is the direct byproduct of almost a century’s worth of earnest interactions steeped in ethics and excellence.

When HG Christie opened its doors over 92 years ago in 1922, real estate in The Bahamas was forever changed and established as a legitimate business. Methods of business where sales contracts were written on cocktail napkins and then sealed with a handshake were now held to higher accountability. Sir Harold’s determined vision led to building an office, guiding regulated licensed Bahamas real estate transactions and the maturation of a company propelled by progressive ideas and innovative concepts.

It is safe to say that technology will continue to change our world; not only in business and the real estate industry, but our lives on the whole - in new and exciting ways. Yet, at a time when there were no websites, apps, or even yard signs, a client relied almost entirely on their agent for all needed information, Sir Harold George Christie’s renown for trusted relationships drove his success. With a steadfast focus beyond providing the ‘latest and greatest’, he developed and cared for the relationships he built not just for a transaction, but for a lifetime.

“HG Christie... delivering service, excellence and developing trusted relationships.”

Today, HG Christie Ltd. has 7 offices across The Bahamas providing cutting-edge technology and world-class results; we remain nimble and responsive to innovation. However, while we love what technology has done for real estate, for our skilled team of licensed professionals and associates ‘delivering service excellence and developing trusted relationships’ remains our core concern.

We look forward to providing all of YOUR Bahamas Real Estate needs with distinction,

n order for people to understand my direction, they would need to take a look at my early history. In 2008, I set out on the first phase of a project entitled The Universal Human Experience, and the goal was to travel around the world documenting conflicts and resolutions.

For two years I travelled mainly around the Caribbean and the Americas. I would make it a subject.

During my research, I came across the Flamingo incident and realised how much information hadn ’t b e e n p u t o u t t h e r e , h o w m u c h r e c o g n i t i o n i t wasn’t getting. It was basically lost in our

archives or the information was misrepresented. nobody paid attention to it even though every year they have a ceremony. It had just become a r i t u a l b e c a u s e p e o p l e d i d n ’t r e a l l y k n o w t h e g r a v ity of the story.

GRAND BAHAMA G

rand Bahama is known as the industrial heartland of The Bahamas, due to the unique economic situation of its major city. The aptly named ‘Freeport’, conceived pre-independence by American and British entrepreneurs, is renowned for the taxfree deep-water port that has become the major shipping hub of The Bahamas. Today, Grand Bahama hosts a vibrant commercial industry that produces a desirable climate for business and private investment. Boasting the best infrastructure of any Bahamian city and possessing an ecological treasure trove, Freeport and its surrounding communities attract many Bahamas Real Estate investors.

Just 50 miles east of Florida, Grand Bahama sitting in the ‘forever warm’ waters of the Gulf Stream, make this island destination a highly convenient year-round escape. Freeport is a juxtaposition of highly planned modern convenience amidst 85 miles of an unexplored playground of golden beaches, blue holes, sea caves and deserted cays. Grand Bahama nature lovers enjoy world-class sports fishing and bone fishing, as well as diving, cycling and kayaking in some of The Bahamas’ best and most accessible national Parks. Grand Bahama is a transitioning environment ‘ripe’ with opportunity.

About Grand Bahama

• Popular Tourist Destination • 30 Minute Flight from Florida • International Port & Industrial Centre of The Bahamas.

ight-knit communities, enterprising spirits and a deep reverence for ‘those that came before us’ define the essence of Abaco communities. Found at the northern tip of the Bahamas’ chain, the necklace of cays and islands that comprise the Abacos are known as the “Sailing Capital of the World”. Here, the opportunity to enjoy a progressive yet, quaint and harmonious lifestyle, draws many to invest in the diverse Bahamas Real Estate offering within the Abacos.

Marsh Harbour is the third largest municipality in The Bahamas. This is also the major jumpoff spot for exploring The Abaco Cays, once known as “The Loyalist Cays” after their 18th century settlers. Colourful clapboard homes, proud self-sufficient people with a rich heritage of boatbuilding and farming, populate these islands and serve as self-appointed guardians to one of the most desirable lifestyles on the planet. These intoxicating cays and islands draw in boaters, surfers, divers, fishermen, ecologists, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs and pleasure-seekers who identify the Abacos as their perfect environment. Just a 200 mile ‘jump’ from Miami, it could be said that YOUR perfect ‘place-inthe-sun’ is just ‘a hop and a skip’ away.

Whether you are longing for your own private island, a luxury community, quaint spaces, seclusion or inclusion…. Abaco satisfies!

leuthera – the name says it all, coming

from the Greek word eleutheros, meaning Freedom. It was so named by the Eleutheran Adventurers, a group of shipwrecked puritans in the late 17th Century whose spirit still inhabits the island to this day… so if its freedom that you seek, then freedom you shall find on this hundred-mile long wisp of an island.

Juxtaposing the energy of the Atlantic on the eastern shores with the calm serenity of the shallow banks to the west, Eleuthera continues to attract freedom-seekers of all types – artists inspired by the colourful characters and timeless settlements, surfers chasing swells, wreck divers exploring the infamous Devil’s Backbone, naturists, bone fishermen and cruising sailors.

With direct flights from Florida, modern day Eleuthera strikes the perfect balance of rugged adventure and modern-day comfort.

Here you’ll find off-the-grid boutique hotels, luxury homes, eco developments, and fine dining. And once you’ve explored all the mainland has to offer, there’s always Harbour Island just a water taxi ride away, an islandchic getaway for celebrities and bon viveurs with some of most classic real estate in The Bahamas.
