Lush paradise, turquoise waters, idyllic getaway — these are all phrases often used to describe the Caribbean. And though this collection of countries in the middle of the ocean contains a shared allure of natural wonders, each one also has its own history and cultural traditions. 

HARBOUR ISLAND—a tiny sliver of land in the easternmost reaches of the Bahamas—is sometimes called the Nantucket of the Caribbean because of its concentration of billionaires, celebrities and colonial-era houses. But unlike many other jet-set playgrounds, Harbour Island has much to entice the rest of us, too.

Over the course of a two-week visit, I savored top-notch sunrises on the three-mile-long Pink Sands Beach. Though much sought after for its distinctive hue, it still feels wild thanks to a steep ridge that partially blocks out the mansions and high-end resorts behind it. I spent hours walking the island, luxuriating in the breezy climate, said to have curative properties; a 1722 report claimed that “when inhabitants of other islands become sick, they go to Harbour Island and are cured within 15 or 20 days.”

 

 

The Bahamas is home to some of the world’s best beaches and considered a prominent secondary home market that strengthens the Corcoran brand’s already robust referral network.

Corcoran Group, LLC today announced the continuation of its global expansion by welcoming its third Caribbean affiliate and entrance into the Bahamas with Corcoran CA Christie Bahamas. The announcement made by Pamela Liebman, President and CEO of The Corcoran Group, represents yet another milestone in the firm’s expansion and perfectly complements its ever-growing footprint.

With more than 700 islands and cays, the Bahamas are home to some of the world’s best beaches and considered a prominent secondary home market that strengthens the Corcoran brand’s already robust referral network. Rich with a variety of experiences – from championship golf courses to world-class dining to extraordinary sailing – this affiliate is a strong fit for Corcoran’s exceptional brand.

“I am thrilled to continue such an exciting global trajectory into the Bahamas,” said Liebman. “Not only are we expanding our network in a stunning part of the world, but we’re welcoming a group of incredibly talented real estate professionals in yet another key second-home market, creating even more opportunity for all of our affiliated agents and clients.”

Corcoran CA Christie Bahamas is led by broker and CEO Charles Christie and operations lead, Gavin Christie. Located in the capital of Nassau, the firm is a leading organization serving a variety of areas in the Bahamas including Albany, Old Fort Bay, Lyford Cay, and Harbour Island. Currently representing 105 exclusive listings, the firm formerly known as CA Christie Real Estate was founded in 1973 and specializes in high-end home sales, property development, vacation and beachfront properties, and private islands. The firm also offers a full selection of rental properties, and in 2020, brokered one of the largest sales transactions ever recorded in Bahamian history.

“Corcoran’s newest area code is in the Bahamas, and I couldn’t be happier that we’ve joined such a successful, established brand,” said Gavin Christie. “We have lofty goals to increase our agent productivity and expand our footprint in the Bahamas, and we cannot wait to get started on bringing our business and name to the next level.”
