“We don't want to change it. We want to add to the island and what it really is.”
Brian and Nikki came to Belize looking for a place where they could slow down, reconnect, and find the right setting for the next stage of their lives. After considering other destinations, they began researching Belize and quickly became drawn to its natural beauty, English-speaking community, and welcoming people.
Much of their research happened before they ever set foot in Belize. Through YouTube videos and conversations with Will, they learned more about the island and the opportunities available here. By the time they arrived, they already felt connected to the community and had a clear idea of what they were looking for. Their conversations with Will helped narrow down their options and find a location that offered the privacy they wanted while still being close enough to Secret Beach and the surrounding community.
For Brian and Nikki, their vision goes beyond simply owning property. They want to build a home that becomes part of the community and contributes to what already makes the island special. As they look toward the next stage of their lives, they hope to create a place that feels like home not just for themselves, but alongside their neighbors and the people who make Belize what it is.
“From the time I hit the QR code, to the time we closed on the house was less than five weeks.”
John and Brooke Robertson weren't sure whether their dream vacation home would be in the mountains or on the beach—until they visited Belize. After falling in love with the country, they began researching properties and discovered Will Mitchell's YouTube channel. One QR code scan connected them with Hassan at RE/MAX Belize, and less than five weeks later they were closing on their turnkey home in Mahogany Bay Village. Their story shows just how simple buying real estate in Belize can be when you have the right team guiding you through every step of the process.
“There's no better place for me and my husband to live than here.”
One of the biggest reasons they chose Mahogany Bay was the community itself. They loved the landscaping, the cleanliness, the organized design, and the sense of pride throughout the neighborhood. They were also attracted by the community's continued growth and recognized they were purchasing at a time when inventory was becoming increasingly limited.
Throughout the process, Hassan played a key role in helping them navigate their move to Belize. From the initial introduction to finding the right property and ultimately helping them establish themselves in the community, they felt supported every step of the way. For Colleen, the experience never felt like a transaction—it felt like joining a community.
Today, after spending months living full-time in Belize, they couldn't be happier with their decision. They enjoy everything from exploring San Pedro by golf cart to boating around the island, visiting Secret Beach, and simply enjoying the everyday interactions that have become part of island life. One of the things they appreciate most is the friendliness of the people, something they noticed from the moment they stepped off the plane.
Their custom home reflects the lifestyle they envisioned when they made the move. Designed by Patrice, the property features thoughtful details throughout, from a smart kitchen and expansive windows to outdoor entertaining spaces, waterfront access, and a private boat dock. Every aspect of the home was built around maximizing their enjoyment of Belize's outdoor lifestyle.
The McDonald family's Belize story began when their daughter introduced them to Ambergris Caye. After visiting the island and falling in love with the lifestyle, they took their first step by investing in a boutique bed and breakfast in San Pedro in 2022. As they spent more time in Belize, they saw the long-term potential of Mahogany Bay and purchased a Phase 1 homesite. Ultimately, an opportunity to acquire the Black Orchid home allowed them to skip the construction process and begin enjoying ownership immediately. In this testimonial, they share their experience working with Hassan and the RE/MAX Belize team, what attracted them to Mahogany Bay, and how quickly their property gained traction in the vacation rental market.
Fred had been researching Belize for years after first discovering it through an online ad. Janet, on the other hand, wasn't convinced she spent most of the flight wondering if the trip was a mistake. That changed almost immediately once they arrived. They fell in love not only with the community, but also with the warmth of the people they met along the way. With guidance from Hassan at RE/MAX Belize, they secured their homesite, trusted CMSB to manage the build from afar, and worked with Trisha at T Fox Interiors to bring their vision to life. The result was Casabella, a home that turned out almost exactly as they had imagined from the very beginning.
