He ALWAYS acted with great professionalism, with patience and a friendly and good-humored style, and most importantly with absolute integrity. We have not known Brad very long yet, but we would do business with him again anytime. Since before my wife and I were married we dreamed of owning beachfront property somewhere tropical. We began searching on our own – Mexico, Belize, Panama and the list goes on – but the more we looked, the more complicated it seemed. Beachfront property was scarce and anything that was available was way out of our price range or in an area where ownership of land was not altogether secure. Then we met Andi who told us about living in Utila and introduced us to Brad and Mary at Utila Realty.

We used all the professional recommendations he suggested with a lawyer and insurance and within 3 weeks of finding our dream home, we MOVED in.

I have received nothing but graciousness, incredible efficiency, and a high level of competence from the wonderful staff at Utila Realty. The concept of buying an international property---on an island, no less---is a bit daunting for any newcomer.

When I felt comfortable and confident enough to make my choice, I left the island basically leaving all of the logistics in their hands. Since then, they've gone beyond the role of just being my realtors. They've made a huge effort to introduce me to people on the island, so I've been able to start feeling acclimated and accepted in the Utila community. We first had dealings with Brad and the crew at Utila Realty when they came to our rescuer on a listing we had with another Realtor on the island that wasn’t going so well. They stepped in and in no time the property was sold to the satisfaction of both the buyer and ourselves.

I was initially at the intellectual level of Buying International Property for Dummies. Brad explained everything very clearly and carefully regarding titles, surveys, property taxes, closing costs, and legal assessments. He drove me all over the island, honestly telling me the pros and cons of numerous properties.
He gave honest answers to all our questions, pointing out pitfalls and risks as we went. Then when we visited the island he came well prepared with information about the properties we were interested in, as well as others that may be suitable too. He took more than a day showing us around not just the properties, but also the town, the Cays and the whole island so we could get a better sense of what life on the island was like. And then, during the final stage of the process - completing the sale - he handled all the details very professionally. Connecting us with a good local lawyer, handling all the paper work, staying in regular communication, and promptly responding to any questions and handling any issue that came up.
I was living in the States and everything was done by telephone, email, or DHL. I can't say enough about their efficiency, honesty, and keeping me well informed during the entire process.

Ludy and I were just speaking last night about how we have never received such excellent service in any arena of life as we have from you. Your attention to details, privacy, confidentiality, ethics, and level of professionalism are par excellence. This sale would never have gone through without your commitment, sense of timing, knowledge, and expertise.

Last year Utila Realty handled the sale of my lot on the South Shore. They made everything easy from the signing of the sales contract to the transfer of the funds to my account at the end of the sale.
Brad carefully explained every step of the process to us, and made buying foreign property seem easy. He and his wife Andi even helped get the property listed as a vacation rental. I am amazed at Brad's commitment to his clientele, his knowledge of the local real estate process, and his integrity. Hello to all potential new real estate investors of Utila Bay Islands. This is a big positive recommendation to buying and living here on this amazing island. My husband and I had been searching for a few years for our paradise and it always seemed that we would hit a bit of a snag somewhere.
Even though we did not finish our purchase we have to say that the service, disponibility and cordiality of Utila realty was what we were looking for. Living in Canada could have made every step complicated, but Brad and Andi made it very easy by their honesty, their level of competence and their ethics. We alway dreamed of having our piece of land somewhere near the ocean and good diving spot, our dream is only put on ice for the moment.
