Real Estate Agent?

[Bongo]

Hi,

 

We'll be visiting St. Thomas in October on the AOS and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with any Real Estate agents on the island? We are considering buying some property/land and would like to use this opportunity for some fact finding. Any recommendations or anybody done this before?

 

Thanks!

Pam

We used Jayanne Stout , Coldwell Banker I believe. Her advice was right on in that she steered us exactly the right property for us.

Quite honestly if you are serious about shopping for real estate in the USVI or any of the other islands come down for a week or so and look. MANY of the Realtors are leery of taking cruise ship passengers around looking at properties because they feel they are being utilized for a free tour of the island and looking at homes people have no intention of purchasing. Most of the homes require a firm reservation to view and getting around the island can take a LOT of time. Write to a realtor ahead of time, tell them what you are interested in, have all of your pre-qualifications in place, and set up appointments to go and see properties.

 

Realistic price ranges for houses and condos

St Thomas $500,000 and up (cheaper houses available in un-desirable areas)

St Croix --- $50,000 and up (under priced at this time due to high unemployment and percieved high crime rate)

St John---- $1,000,000 and up (cheaper available but no view, small and they go fast usually by word of mouth)

Water Island-- $300,000 and up Great value, great location, wonderful community.
