BAHAMAS REALTY'S SILVINA ANDREWS EARNS BROKER'S LICENCE

A bilingual sales associate with Bahamas Realty who sold more that $7 million worth of real estate in three years has chalked up another achievement - Silvina Andrews has successfully completed course and practical requirements to earn her Real Estate Broker's Licence.

"In a short period of time, Silvina has become one of our top sales associates," said Larry Roberts, Vice President of Bahamas Realty. "We are proud to announce that she has completed her international and local course requirements as well as the basic earning requirement of a minimum $1 in sales in three years, qualifying her for her broker's licence. She actually quadrupled her three-year sales volume requirement in the first year."

Mrs Andrews, 36, was born in Argentina and spent 12 years in The Bahamas in the hospitality sales industry before joining Bahamas Realty in 1997. Her ability to speak Spanish has enabled her to handle clients from South, Central and Latin America.

"Silvina is a very hard worker, a devoted mother and she's been able to balance the two very well," said Mr Roberts. "She is a professional in every way and has taken advantage of every opportunity to further her education."

Mrs Andrews, a soft-spoken intense woman who has built up a cadre of loyal international clients, recently returned from the National Real Estate Convention in Orlando, Florida, where she said new developments in computer technology are changing the way real estate sales are conducted.

"Virtual reality is revolutionising the way we sell real estate internationally," she noted. "When a person sitting in Hong Kong can look up a web site and scrutinise the details of a living room in The Bahamas, then 'walk' through the house to the patio and onto the beach, it's a new world of product, expectations and competition. You have to be on the leading edge every year and with every new development or the distance you have to catch up becomes overwhelming. I am proud that I have earned my broker's licence and that I am going to be working towards my Certified International Property Specialist, but I do not think I could have done it without the support of a forward-looking firm like Bahamas Realty that appreciates that cutting edge difference."
