What Our Clients Say

Compliments to Donna Jones

Dear Donna,

Retirement must be just around the corner!!!

You gave us exemplary service, always went the extra mile, checked on any information we needed and got immediate answers for us, and in short made our transition to moving to the Bahamas as smooth as silk!! You are one of a kind my dear, and that is why you are so successful in what you do!

Kind regards,

Robin Le Blanc - U.S. Attorney

Thank you for your assistance in this case. I am very impressed by the quality of your work so far. If I ever need an appraiser in the Bahamas again, I will give you a call.

John B. - West Virginia

Ms. Christie,
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated you taking time to speak with me during my extremely short stay in Nassau.

As you suggested, I have visited your website. WOW!! I have experienced many hundreds of real estate web sites and I will assure you that yours is tops.

I am currently attempting to digest the enormous amount of information provided, and I am quickly realizing that an investment/2nd home in the Bahamas will soon be a reality. Decisions, decisions.

Again, thank you for your kind attention. Your hospitality has opened a door to a new investment possibility that I was unaware of. I will plan a visit back to Nassau in April, and look forward to meeting once again.

Anthony W. Wallas- Wizard Signs

Thank you for recently providing the appraisal on my property.

The appraisal was carried in a timely and competent manner and the H.G. Christie Appraisal Report fully reflects the professionalism of the service that you provided.

Please be assured that for any future appraisal work, we shall be using only your office.

Michelle Howard

Thank you very much for all of your assistance in the expeditious preparation of my Appraisal Report. I am very excited about this purchase and have had a great deal of anxiety about the completion of this sale.

As I am sure you are aware, it has been difficult to be so far away while I am trying to conclude this sale. The promptness of your service will facilitate the conclusion of the sale. You were always available to respond to my anxious calls, and handled each call with true grace and absolute professionalism.

I would recommend you, personally, and HG Christie, as an institution to anyone considering a purchase in the Bahamas.

Victor A. Hutcheson - Residential Appraisal

I just wanted to say 'a big thank you' for the recent appraisal you did on my residence. Your willingness to work around my schedule was really appreciated and that personal touch so lacking in so many transactions today made the experience most rewarding.

Fritz G. - Appraisal

I am writing in regard to the Eleuthera, Bahama Property that you performed an appraisal on. I received the report about a week ago and was very happy with the presentation of the report . . . the support in the report strongly substantiated the value of the property to the court in the settlement of the Estate . . .

Thank you again for your help in this matter and I plan on using you in the future for similar transactions.

L. and M. Nash - Bahamas Web Award

Mr. Christie,
Just wanted to extend our congratulations on winning the Best of The
Bahamas Web Award, as well as the other two awards! Well done and well
deserved. We too find your website top-notch!!

Charles S., Eleuthera

As you know, the completion of the sale of Mallaig happened last Wednesday. I wanted to write to you to thank you for acting as my agent, but particularly I wanted to write about Elisa Pyfrom.

I hadn't met Elisa until last September when she came round to do the appraisal on the house, but I was immediately impressed by her professionalism and knowledge. Until that point, I had pretty much decided to sign with (competitor) but after an hour with her, there was no contest.

In getting (the purchasers) interested in the house, I think she did an outstanding job. They weren't targeting my type of property so it was a measure of her understanding and judgement... She was attentive, courteous and efficient throughout and in all respects she was a pleasure to deal with. A particularly nice touch was the champagne and nibbles she brought to the completion appointment.

...Elisa conducted herself impeccably.

Over the last few weeks I've been telling all my friends what a superb job Elisa did so I hope the word will spread.

In summary, Elisa is a credit to her profession and to HG Christie Ltd.

David F. - Freeport

We are now the happy owners of a property in Grand-Bahama thanks to the excellent services of your staff there.

Since it is the privilege of clients to complain when the services or attention they receive does not live-up to their expectation, I think it's only fair that they should also mention it when the aforesaid services or attention meet or exceed their expectations.

I'm delighted to say that throughout the process, from the initial researches on the web, the request for additional information via email, the visit of the properties, the assistance with closing and even settling, your company has provided us with excellent services.

On the occasions we had to deal with Donna Jones, including (re)visiting properties during week-ends, we were also very pleased. The support we received from your staff... was a key element in deciding to move ahead and settle in the Bahamas.

The services supplied by your company exceeded by far other agents we had contacted, and indeed the ones of estate agents in europe we had to deal with in the past. Altogether we had the pleasant feeling of dealing with competent professionals interested in building long-term reputation...

Serge K. - Australia

Dear Vicky,
Many thanks for your gracious offer regarding the airport pick-up on Sunday. You are a true professional. In fact, I know some real estate agents here in Australia that should go to the Christie School in the Bahamas to learn the real art of customer service!
