Anguilla’s Glorious (To Me) Revolution / 50 Years Hence Anguilla’s Glorious (To Me) Revolution / 50 Years Hence The article below by Martin Hannan is a nice commemoration of the (to me) glorious Anguilla Revolution–especially dear to my heart as Ronald Webster (The Leader of the Revolution and The Father of the Nation) was my father-in […]
Goodbye Sotheby’s / Hello ProRealty Goodbye Sotheby’s / Hello ProRealty and Good morning and welcome to my first ProRealty (AXA) Newsletter, After 15 years of affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty, I decided not to extend my relationship with the brand–as such I’ve built out a new (and I believe much more appealing) website reverting to […]
A Heartfelt Disclaimer All of the posts after this “Disclaimer” were written by me for Anguilla Life magazine (now defunct) starting in 1992 and ending in 2010 with the earliest article being the very first post with the most recent article (albeit 9 years old now) being the one right after this—while some of the […]
ANGUILLA’S PRICING PARADOXSomewhat akin to the chicken or egg trauma that has plagued mankind for centuries (as in “Which came first?”) Anguilla now suffers from a similar time line dilemma—over priced properties or an underperforming market (again, “Which came first?”)…personally I believe the chronological question is ultimately immaterial in both scenarios.

But after the fall from grace comes the opportunity for resurrection and salvation […]
The Trifecta RevisitedThe Trifecta Revisited In a recent article I wrote for Anguilla Life Magazine I discussed the Trifecta I envisioned on the real estate horizon, whereby a Trifecta (for those who don’t gamble on horses) relates to picking the first, second and third place winners in a race—not an easy trick. At the time […]
Golf, Anyone?Golf, Anyone? As Anguilla heads into general elections (which will in all likelihood be held in early 2010) the issues concerning the golf course and resort development at Rendezvous Bay may well be a key component of the political discussions–regardless of whether or not the golf course is open or construction has recommenced by […]
Back to the FutureBack to the Future With the worldwide economic recession upon us all, it will be interesting to see how Anguilla real estate fares—as a wonderful destination boasting world class natural amenities and deluxe resorts, restaurants, mega villas, private villas and managed branded communities for those seeking the quieter more sophisticated Caribbean experience, […]
Anguilla’s Real Estate Nuance: Developing for the Future / Protecting the PastAs everyone who is familiar with Anguilla is aware, there was a substantial amount of real estate investment in marketing, construction and purchasing during the period from 1994 thru 1997—most notably in the arena of larger managed hotel residences featuring preconstruction sales efforts.
