“I was actually going to purchase in Tulum. I put a deposit down and everything, but I'm so glad that I took my money back.”
Makayla Lewis discovered Belize through Instagram while researching opportunities to own property abroad. She had originally planned to invest in Tulum, even putting down a deposit, but changed direction after learning more about Belize and seeing greater potential for the type of investment she wanted to make.
After finding RE/MAX Belize online, Makayla connected with Dylan and moved quickly. Within less than a week, she was able to put her money down on one of the final available lots, choosing a large parcel close to the water. Now, she's excited about what she can eventually create on the property and encourages other young people not to be afraid of owning land and investing in their future.
“I wasn't even looking at any international purchases. I was just coming in with an open mind”
Dennis Peterson arrived in Belize simply to accompany a friend who was considering buying land. With no plans of making an international purchase himself, Dennis kept an open mind and soon began recognizing the potential in San Pedro. After connecting with RE/MAX Belize agent Dylan Wade, getting his questions answered, and learning more about the purchasing process, Dennis decided to make an investment of his own. What started as a trip to “check out the vibe” became an opportunity he hadn't expected.
“Dylan made the process easy. He responded right away, got us down to Belize quickly, and from the moment we arrived, we loved the place.”
After years of researching international real estate opportunities, Novella and Vada found themselves comparing Belize to destinations across the Caribbean and Central America. What ultimately set Belize apart wasn't just the beautiful water or welcoming people it was the ability for foreigners to own property outright, combined with a buying process that felt refreshingly straightforward. After connecting with Dylan Wade, they quickly gained the confidence to book a trip, explore the country, and secure a property they had been searching for elsewhere without success. Today, they believe Belize offers one of the best opportunities for international buyers looking for simplicity, ownership, and long-term potential.
“Dylan wasn't trying to sell us anything. He was simply a resource, answering all of our questions and helping us feel confident in the process.”
What started as a search for a retirement property quickly turned into something much bigger for Verelyn and Sean Watson. After returning from a family trip to Guyana and realizing the market there no longer fit their goals, Verelyn stumbled across Will Mitchell's Belize real estate videos online. Days of research eventually led them to the Will Mitchell Team at RE/MAX Belize, where Dylan Wade helped answer every question without ever making them feel pressured. Before long, they had booked a flight to Belize, discovered Mahogany Bay Village, and knew they had found the place they wanted to invest in.
“I wish I would have pulled the trigger on a lot at Mahogany Bay sooner. Now I see the property values, I see the rental income, and I feel like I missed the boat. I definitely don't want to miss it again.”
Like many international buyers, Bum Kim wanted to do his homework before investing in Belize. After discovering the country, he connected with Dylan Wade and the Will Mitchell Team at RE/MAX Belize, who introduced him to communities like Mahogany Bay Village and Secret Beach while answering every question along the way. Although he initially decided to wait on purchasing in Mahogany Bay, watching property values and rental income continue to climb left him with one regret—waiting too long. Today, Bum is back in Belize looking for his next investment and sharing why he believes Belize remains one of the Caribbean's most exciting real estate opportunities.
“Don't wait. We waited a year, and by the time we came back, the ideal locations were gone.”
What started as a spontaneous trip to Belize quickly turned into something much bigger for Kim and Reggie Eadie. After hearing friends talk about Belize, they decided to visit for themselves and immediately saw the potential. Their son Dylan saw it too—so much so that less than a year later he moved to Belize and joined the RE/MAX Belize team. As both clients and proud parents, Kim and Reggie experienced firsthand the level of service Dylan provides. They say he treats every client like family, providing the same attention, professionalism, and dedication regardless of who he's working with. Since their first visit, they've invested in multiple properties and continue to explore new opportunities throughout Belize. Their advice for prospective buyers is simple: don't wait. They learned firsthand that great opportunities can disappear quickly, and they believe Belize continues to offer tremendous potential for those willing to take the leap.
Justice Hill has spent his career succeeding at the highest level as a running back for the Baltimore Ravens, but long before investing in Belize, he had a goal of owning property outside the United States. After traveling throughout Central and South America, Belize stood out from every other destination he visited. What started as a short trip quickly became something more when he found himself returning just days later. As he began researching Belize real estate, he connected with Dylan Wade and the RE/MAX Belize team. According to Justice, Dylan made the entire process simple by providing clear information, answering questions at all hours, and helping him evaluate different opportunities before ultimately selecting Mahogany Bay as the right fit for both his family and investment goals. Justice credits Dylan's responsiveness, market knowledge, and commitment to helping him navigate an international purchase as a major reason the process felt so seamless. Today, he believes Belize offers a unique combination of lifestyle, opportunity, and community, and his advice to anyone considering investing is straightforward: come experience it for yourself. Spend time exploring the country, meeting the people, and seeing what makes Belize special. For Justice, that visit turned Belize from a place he wanted to see into a place he was proud to own.
