Kevin took a chance on Mahogany Bay when the community was still in its early stages, using retirement funds to purchase property and build his first international rental. With guidance from Will, Chris, and the RE/MAX Belize team, he was connected with the professionals needed to manage the build and property. Today, Kevin describes it as one of the easiest builds he’s completed and a decision that ultimately paid off.
“As soon as we got there, my husband and I looked at each other and said, ‘We want a piece of this place.’”
Seyi's connection to Belize began long before she became a homeowner. During a honeymoon cruise in 2015, she and her husband visited Belize and immediately imagined owning a piece of the country someday. Years later, that dream led them to San Pedro, where RE/MAX Belize agent Chris helped turn their initial uncertainty about purchasing abroad into genuine confidence. Their first visit resulted in property purchases not only for themselves, but also for Shayi's sister and friend. Today, Shayi and her husband have brought their vision full circle with Abebe Oasis, a personalized family home in Mahogany Bay designed with plenty of room to welcome the people they love.
“This has been beyond our dreams. Our expectations.”
Steven and Terrie Clark were searching for more than just another vacation home—they wanted an investment their entire family could enjoy for years to come. After spending time in Mexico, they discovered Belize offered everything they were looking for: strong investment potential, an English-speaking country, beautiful beaches, and a welcoming community. Working with Chris and the RE/MAX Belize team, they explored the island at their own pace, never feeling pressured, and found a property that exceeded every expectation. Today, they encourage others to consider Belize not only for its lifestyle but also for its long-term investment opportunities.
“I discovered Belize, and from that first trip, I've never vacationed anywhere else. I knew I'd found my place.”
What began as a vacation bonus from work completely changed Renee Foote's life. After discovering Belize online and visiting for the first time in 2017, she never looked back. Returning year after year, she eventually purchased a double lot in Secret Beach and began building a custom home designed for both personal enjoyment and luxury vacation rentals. Inspired by Belize's natural beauty and guided by the area's long term growth potential, Renee is creating more than just a house, she's building a destination where guests can relax, celebrate, and experience the Belizean lifestyle.
“Our asset grew faster than we could have grown it in any other avenue. We bought at the right time, but in my opinion, there's not really a wrong time to buy in Belize.”
Trey and Brandy Schmoker had traveled all over the world searching for the perfect island destination. They wanted a place that offered a true Caribbean lifestyle, beautiful scenery, and a welcoming community. After visiting Belize, they knew they had found exactly what they had been looking for.
As Trey began researching Belize real estate, he discovered the Will Mitchell YouTube channel and immersed himself in the educational content. After watching interviews and learning about the buying process, he reached out to the Will Mitchell Team at RE/MAX Belize. Within minutes, Chris Letellier responded, answered every question, and quickly earned Trey's trust. Even after thoroughly researching the process himself, Trey says Chris was transparent, knowledgeable, and made purchasing property in another country feel comfortable.
Just days later, Trey boarded a flight to Belize on a whim. After touring properties with Chris, he knew he had found the right place and purchased a lot before heading home. Since then, Trey and Brandy have built their dream home, watched their investment appreciate significantly, and are already looking at purchasing more property in Belize.
Tonya and Michael never imagined they would build a home in another country. What started as a four-day trip to Belize quickly turned into something much bigger. After exploring Ambergris Caye with RE/MAX Belize agent Chris, they discovered Mahogany Bay and saw an opportunity they couldn't ignore. One property became two, then three, as their confidence in Belize and the local market continued to grow. With CMSB managing the construction process, their vision became reality. What was originally intended as a future personal residence soon evolved into a successful couples-focused vacation rental after strong demand led to bookings filling nearly half the calendar within the first two months of operation. In this testimonial, Tonya and Michael share their Belize journey, what gave them the confidence to build abroad, and why they continue to believe in the future of Belize real estate.
