“If you don't do it now, when are you going to do it?”
Mitch Wood first discovered Belize while on vacation and quickly fell in love with the country, its beautiful surroundings, and the friendliness of its people. What started as a vacation experience soon turned into the idea of spending more and more time in Belize and eventually buying a place of his own. When Mitch began exploring his options, he reached out to Shane Greenwell of RE/MAX, who helped him navigate what was available and what he should be looking for. Through video calls, FaceTime, and property tours, Shane gave Mitch the opportunity to explore different locations even when he wasn't in Belize. After finding a property he liked in the Secret Beach area along the canal, Mitch decided to take the leap and purchase the property and build a house. Today, with a home, a pool, and the Belize lifestyle he had imagined, Mitch says he has never looked back and considers it a perfect decision.

“We've traveled to 60 countries, and we really feel very comfortable here. The people are wonderful, the roads are great, and we can't say enough good things about Belize.”
Susan Watkins and her family fell in love with Belize long before they decided to invest. As avid scuba divers, they were drawn to the country's world-famous barrier reef, but it was the people, culture, and beautiful countryside that convinced them Belize could one day become their retirement destination.
When the right opportunity became available, Susan worked with Shane Greenwell at RE/MAX Belize. She describes Shane as personable, easy to communicate with, and always quick to provide the information they needed throughout the buying process. Even with questions about the area's history, they felt confident every step of the way.
What ultimately sold them on Red Rock was its unique combination of amenities and natural beauty. From the marina and waterfront to the horses, jungle, and landscaping, the community offered everything they were looking for. Having traveled to more than 60 countries, Susan says Belize stands out as one of the places where they feel most comfortable, thanks to its welcoming people, good infrastructure, and relaxed lifestyle.
“Anybody who knows real estate knows you want to buy at the beginning. That's how you build generational wealth for your family.”
For Sean Armistead, investing in Belize was about more than buying real estate—it was about creating generational wealth. After setting a personal goal to purchase one asset every year, his first investment was at Secret Beach, followed by a second property at Red Rock.
Sean first discovered Belize through a friend who had already invested in the country. That recommendation led him to connect with Shane Greenwell at RE/MAX Belize. Buying property in another country can feel intimidating, but Sean says Shane made the entire experience comfortable from the very first Zoom call. Every question was answered quickly, giving him the confidence to move forward.
“"Shane was the first person who reached out to us, and now he feels like part of our family."”
Michael and Comaneci Brooken traveled to Belize from Atlanta, Georgia, to celebrate their daughter's high school graduation. Before arriving, they had already spent considerable time researching Belize as a potential investment destination, watching videos, learning about the market, and exploring different opportunities available throughout the country.
Like many first-time international buyers, they had questions about purchasing property abroad. They wanted to understand the buying process, evaluate the investment potential, and ensure they were making an informed decision. Through their research, they came to believe Belize was still in the early stages of growth and offered compelling opportunities for long-term investment.
After submitting an inquiry, they connected with Shane Greenwell from RE/MAX Belize. Shane was the first person to respond, and over time became their trusted guide throughout the process. During their visit, he showed them opportunities in both Mahogany Bay and Secret Beach, answered countless questions, and provided detailed insight that helped them evaluate different options with confidence.
According to Michael and Comaneci, one of the biggest benefits of working with Shane was his accessibility and willingness to help. Whether they were discussing the buying process, investment opportunities, or simply getting familiar with Belize, he made the experience straightforward and easy to understand. By the end of their trip, they felt less like clients and more like family.
