Rachel McCartney

In the current challenging international economy developing a high-value and productive relationship with a top real estate agent is a formidable task.

In our sector so many facets of real estate integrate in order to provide true success. So, to achieve that critical mix, I asked myself how I would find a truly focussed professional in the Caribbean with that complex mix of deep market understanding, international reach, a true sense of value combined with the size to be both powerful but also be able to care about every small detail of my needs.

In addition, both timing and clear thinking are key, combined with bags of common sense that ensure that my deal is not only the right one, but that it stays on track. So many things can go wrong during the acquisition or sale of real estate and the prevailing sensitivities of both buyer and vendor can easily end in disaster. So being a “people person” is vital.

When searching for that very special flagship development in Barbados I needed an agent who would take time to understand exactly what I was searching for. Not only that, but my company Bonham & Bonham works only in the high-end of the property market and was searching for not only a very specific property, but one in a location that would provide real gravitas to our company when it was developed.

When I met Rachel McCartney of Terra Luxury it quickly became clear that she was no ordinary real estate agent. Just like every meeting that develops into a successful business relationship, the first moment of our briefing session were critical. I was careful to understand her ability, can she really help me? Does she have the contacts and the focus to work hard for me? Will she stay the course?

More than that, we all know that retaining the attention of any property agent is not easy - they have so much going on that the guy that shouts loudest get the attention - but not with Rachel! For the whole search process from beginning to end she made me feel like I was her only client. That is a tough call when operating in a busy and demanding market.

From beginning to the end of a very successful deal in Barbados, Rachel remained focused throughout. She became not simply a provider of real estate search and transaction services, but a partner in finding the right property and then staying with the deal to ensure the later development of the site was the right one.

All in all, Rachel McCarney and Terra Luxury are an outstanding professional real estate agent in the Caribbean market that possess both true professionalism and integrity.

They are clearly second to none.

Rachel is the kind of realtor any property owner would want to engage. Very personable,easy to work with,knowledgable,pro-active and very responsive before,during and after the transaction is completed. She is driven to deliver outstanding performance for her clients.
