New offices in St Vincent and the Grenadines and Cayman Islands
Chestertons Global has expanded its presence in the Caribbean with new partnerships with Bellegarde Estates in St Vincent and the Grenadines and MOD Realty in the Cayman Islands.
Each firm will operate under the Chestertons name, although they will retain their local ownership.
The company says that the new offices mean that Chestertons Global now has a presence in two of the region’s most sought-after luxury property markets. St Vincent and the Grenadines offer privacy and exclusivity, while the Cayman Islands are renowned for their stability and established appeal to global investors. Both areas have limited land availability and tightly controlled development – which means that international demand and long-term value is high.
Bellegarde Estates was originally founded in 2016 and specialises in luxury villas, resort and commercial properties, private islands and development land across St Vincent, Bequia, Canouan, Mustique and the wider Grenadines and is led by owner Michelle Bellegarde.
MOD Realty Ltd was founded in 2019 and is based in the capital of George Town, Grand Cayman. The office is led by broker Athena Nicole Smith.
A diverse market
Mohamed Mussa, managing director of Chestertons Global, said: ”The Caribbean is too often treated as a single market, when in reality it is very diverse. St Vincent and The Cayman Islands both have a clear place in our network.
“One offers genuine seclusion and scarcity; the other offers stability and an established framework that has made it a long-standing home for global capital. Bellegarde Estates and MOD Realty were handpicked as leaders in their respective markets, and together they give our clients credible representation in two destinations where local knowledge is paramount.”
Bellegarde said: “St Vincent and the Grenadines remain one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean, and the buyers who find their way here truly value that discretion.”
MOD Realty’s Smith said: “Our buyers are exacting and almost entirely international, so they expect a brokerage that understands both the Cayman market and the cross-border process behind every purchase. Aligning with Chestertons Global lets us pair that local expertise with a recognised global standard, which matters to the high-net-worth clients and investors we work with.”
