Ana & Matt Foster

“An idea can become reality. If it's something you really want to do, it can be done.”
— Matt

What began as a vacation to Belize quickly turned into a vision for the future for Ana and Matt Foster. After experiencing the country's incredible people, food, culture, and natural beauty, they realized Belize offered more than just a great place to visit—it offered an opportunity to build the lifestyle they had always imagined. The couple chose Secret Beach because of its early stage of development and the freedom it provides. Rather than purchasing in a more established community, they wanted the flexibility to design a home that reflected their own vision while investing in an area with tremendous room for growth. Working with Trevor Stack at RE/MAX Belize made the process simple. Despite having thousands of questions throughout the purchase, they say Trevor was always responsive, personable, and guided them through every step with confidence. Today, Ana and Matt encourage others not to let uncertainty hold them back. While many people questioned their decision, they believe taking the leap into Belize real estate was one of the best choices they've made. For them, Secret Beach represents the chance to invest early, create something unique, and be part of one of Belize's fastest-growing communities.

[Unclear at 00:00]. Matt Foster. Yeah, so we decided to look at property in Belize because we came down here, saw the beauty, the food, the people, everything was so great, and we just really enjoyed ourselves and kind of started looking toward the future. So it started off as a, just an idea, and I wanted to support his idea, and then it really became a reality. Once we visited, we fell in love with the people, the food, just the environment, the music, everything. We chose the Secret Beach area more so here it's it's early in development and we wanted to kind of be able to influence it a little bit.

Here we have the ability to kind of build anything that we want versus Mahogany Bay even though it's beautiful it's very nice. We are a little more boxed in as far as what we were able to do with our place. We have some other ideas for the future as well and secret beach area just made a little more sense for us. Trevor Stack was our agent and he did a great job. He took care of us the whole way. I had thousands of questions all hours of the day whenever they would come to me and Trevor was very responsive and did a great job managing the process for us. One thing that stood out about working with Trevor is he's so personable.

Being from the Midwest I caught his Canadian accent right away so I knew he was from Canada and I knew we'd have some things in common. He took really good care of us, very personable like I said very responsive and just a great overall agent. An idea can become reality. I know sometimes it's challenging to think all of the roadblocks that prevent you from having your reality become real. My recommendation would be if it's something that you really want to do just think about the end results and if you really want to do it, it can be done. It's very risky move for us and everybody told us we were crazy. We heard everything under the Sun.

Why there, this is just the beauty of the place and that it's early in growth and there's so much opportunity here i think is is why anybody should consider the canal especially be the house on the canal next to us and uh we'll be neighbors
