The following is an undedited testimonial from another happy client who now owns their own slice of paradise here in Ambergris Caye, Belize. Congrats to them and we here at RE/MAX Island Real Estate want to wish them many years of happiness and memories......

Testimonial Begins.......

""Our dream had always been to retire somewhere exotic, warm and friendly. We had never heard of Belize until we saw a “House Hunters International” program on TV.

Ironically weeks later my brother-in-law sent us a picture of himself, sitting on the edge of a pier, surrounded with turquoise blue water, in San Pedro, Belize. It looked liked paradise and my first thought was....it’s not real.

Researching on the internet, lead us to the International Living magazine which rated Belize as one of the best places to retire. They listed the following pluses, climate, housing costs, English speaking, stable government and how friendly the Belizean people are.

Our home is in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We love Vancouver Island, and plan to return every summer to spend time with our nine grandchildren and kids, exploring the Gulf Islands in our sailboat.

Before we purchased property in Ambergris Caye we spent many years looking for the place we wanted to retire or at least spend our winter months. We travelled to Mexico, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Hawaii, and had a list of additional places to look.

San Pedro was on the list for December. Two days after arriving in San Pedro we were hooked. The Island was beautiful and so were the people. We didn’t feel alone, or isolated and felt very safe.


RE/MAX Island Real Estate happened to be next door to our hotel and we just decided to drop in for some information. Not only did we find out that we could purchase property at a reasonable price but that we had clear title on our property.

We were living an episode of House Hunters international, where you chose from three properties with Dennis who actually aired an episode on San Pedro. He was able to help us understand how the purchase process worked in Belize, what we needed to do and how we could do it. He was able to answer all our questions and concerns about owning property in a foreign country and even guided us through each step.

We purchased our piece of paradise and made our dream come true.


We would like to thank our realtor, Dennis Kay II and his co-worker Jeff Bella for not only going beyond the call of duty but giving us the courage and support to help our dreams come true!!

    More Information:: Agent
    10 years ago my wife and I were fed up with the cold winters of Michigan and decided to look for a tropical location to relocate to. We were both working too much and enjoying life too little. In our search we discovered Belize. It had everything we were looking for.

    The people here are the friendliest people we've ever met! Plus all of the IMPORTANT stuff to us like the fact like Belize is English Speaking, it is part of the British Common Wealth, it is close to the U.S. and it offers huge tax savings and the ability to move money offshore...for these and many more reasons we left the U.S. to make Belize our permanent home.

    I know what its like to invest in a foreign country. I can help you purchase a simple bungalow on the beach, an ocean front estate, simple condo with fantastic views or for the investor we can help set up everything from your IBC's, Offshore accounts and assist with tax minimization and planning.

    I've made Ambergris Caye my home. Let me show you around...you'll want this to be your home too.

    If you are like most people who are tired of their current lives you spend your breaks or lunch hours researching places to get away to or places to relocate. For many those places are warm and tropical and offer a relaxed lifestyle. That describes Belize to a "T".

    Where do you start in your search? Should you build? By a condo? What areas of the island are better to live in full time? Which areas are better for future investment? How much money does it take to "get in the game"? Can I get financing?

    Those are very important questions. I can be your guide in helping you through all of this so you can do what brought you to Belize in the first place. Enjoy an island lifestyle and maybe even add to your overall net worth in the process.
