Shipwrecked colonists originally settled Bermuda in 1609. Since that time, the development of this beautiful island has been no accident. From the Victorian era until recently, Bermuda’s economy was led by tourism -- now it is led by upscale, high-tech, and financially savvy international businesses. Successful economic growth over the years (coupled with past exchange controls and limited investment opportunities) has resulted in Bermudians building wealth through residential real estate holdings.

Today’s real estate market continues to offer opportunities to many, although under supply and over demand have driven prices up in recent years. Many factors, including the number of comparable properties on the market, location, and the state of the economy affect the price you can expect to pay for either rental or sale of a property in Bermuda. Property sales to international purchasers are regulated by the Bermuda Government in an effort to protect the balance of foreign ownership on Island.

Real Estate is a career that demands resolute effort, with the potential for great success and personal satisfaction; providing a service that really makes a difference in people’s lives. Bermuda’s real estate companies offer the expected services in selling or renting property, but also cover many other aspects, such as property management, land surveying and valuation. Today's real estate agent is not just a person who finds a tenant to rent your apartment or a person who finds a buyer for your house. Today's agent is a multi-faceted person with diverse knowledge of the real estate market. They are professional, personal and willing to go the extra mile for their client.

If you are a home buyer, effective use of real estate websites helps to narrow the search prior to contacting a Real Estate Representative. Technology enables the savvy homebuyer to find their dream home with just a ‘click’ of a mouse.
