Realtor unveils top performers

A BAHAMIAN real estate firm has recognised its top-producing agents following a record sales year in 2022.

H G Christie has named Phillip Hillier, Anya Mousis, Anne Bethel, Franklyn Knowles and Dwayne Wallas as its topproducing agents. In New Providence, the top prize went to Mr Hillier and Ms Mousis, who work as a team mainly in the island’s west.

Ms Mousis said successfully completing a sale means not only providing access to available properties, but using resources to ensure the client’s concerns are being adequately considered. “It really is about keeping clients calm,” she added, “using data to ensure that all their questions are answered, and allaying the fears that can come up when completing these kinds of transactions.”

In Eleuthera and Abaco, Anne Bethel and Franklyn Knowles were named top producers respectively. Ms Bethel explained: “The core of our work at HG Christie is to provide a complete service that guides our clients through the process of selling or buying their home or property.

Eleuthera is experiencing a true renaissance and, right now, seems to be the place where everyone wants to be. Our real estate sales reflect that trend.”

In 2022, Dwayne Wallas was recognised for having recorded the most transactions as well as securing the sale of some of the company’s most exclusive listings. “It is an honour to be recognised during such a momentous milestone for the company,” said Mr Wallas. “The past year has shown me that maintaining good working relationships with my colleagues is the key to success in this business. I have also learned that optimism in the face of disaster can go a long way.”

Rounding out the list was Kristi Hull, the company’s top resort marketer for 2022.

John Christie, HG Christie’s president and managing broker, said: “I am proud of our strong team of agents, who are the reason we have made it to this milestone, and I am excited about seeing them continue to perform at this level going forward. Even with some concern of a global slowdown, all indications show that there will continue to be strong interest in The Bahamas and we are excited about the opportunities this will bring.”
