How to Make a Fast Sale on Your Cayman Islands Property

Now you have decided to sell you Cayman Islands property, there are a few pro tricks you can use to boost your chances of a quick and profitable sale.

There’s no doubt that Caribbean real estate has taken a bit of a hit in 2020, like just about everywhere else. But if you’re putting you Cayman Islands home on the market in the current climate, there are some simple and cost-effective ways to boost you chances of a quick and profitable sale if you look at the project from a buyer’s point of view and concentrate on their concerns.

Think of offering your Grand Cayman real estate for sale like you’re getting it ready for a first date: you want to make a good impression, to make your home appear organized, comfortable, clean, in good health, with no hidden surprises or (literal) skeletons in the closets. It should appear well-groomed , well maintained and capable of providing years and years of safe and comfortable living with no unpleasant surprises — and all at an acceptable price. You need to present it at its most attractive to all potential buyers.

Here are four pro tips that are proven to add more to the value of a home than their cost, and they can be done quickly and often without major disruption or expense:

DE-CLUTTER: To get to a point where you can present your home to the public in the best possible light, there will have to be a sorting and de-cluttering phase. Every cupboard and drawer and shelf, every box and storage space needs to be cleared and sorted. You plan to move anyway, so this is not wasted effort. Think of how many times you have moved in your life, then think of how many boxes you still own, in the garage, in the loft, in the hallway closet, that have not been opened since you last moved. Get rid of anything that hasn’t be used or proven useful in more than 12 months. Get rid of anything that is broken or needs repairs that you know you’ll never get round to. Preparing a home for moving is the perfect opportunity to rationalize your possessions and your life.

DEEP-CLEAN: One of the biggest negatives for a potential buyer is a dirty home. If your home for sale showcases its dirt and grime and shabbiness it will definitely be harder to sell and attract fewer offers — all at a lower price than you are asking. If the home looks tired and rundown on the surface, a buyer will naturally start to think about what else might be wrong that isn’t so obvious. Once you have de-cluttered your valuable Cayman real estate investment and can see the wood for the trees, you are now able to clean the space easily and thoroughly. A few hundred dollars spent on a professional cleaning service in a de-cluttered home will surprise you at how spotless your home looks — as well as how many flaws you now need to address.

2010′s

2010’s Thinking about this last decade and there are so many amazing milestones, losses, triumphs, memories, successes and more. This decade provided the following memories 2010 - I dropped out of college, one semester short of graduation. My first job (Wendy’s) promoted me to a shift supervisor. I moved in with my boyfriend and his family. We went on my first cruise and my first international vacation. I swam with sharks and hand fed a scarlet macaw Jamaica, fed green turtles in Grand Cayman and petted Ernest Hemenway’s cats in Key West 2011 - I quit my job at Wendy’s and took the summer off to relax and revaluate my priorities. My parents moved out of the home I grew up in and moved to a one-bedroom apartment in the next city over. I took a weeklong vacation to Lincoln, New Hampshire. I went to the top of Mt. Washington and saw six moose on a moose tour. 2012 - Six weeks after getting a job at Catherine’s plus sizes as a supervisor, I was promoted to Assistant Manager. At the age of 24, I was the youngest manager in my district. (All of New England). I was also top in sales for the state of Massachusetts. I went to Niagara Falls and enjoyed every moment of it. I never got tired of seeing the waterfalls. 2013 - Quit my job as an Assistant Manager at Catherine’s when my boss was screaming at me in front of customers because I didn’t catch a small mistake made by another employee. I broke up with my boyfriend of seven years. Our relationship and our lives weren’t moving forward, and he didn’t see a problem with it. Therefore, I moved back in with my parents at 25. I traveled to NYC with my parents to celebrate their 30th anniversary. By the end of the year I was a Swing Manager at McDonald’s working 50 hrs a week. 2014 - Easter Sunday was my first Sunday off in six months. I was bored and downloaded Tinder. Within 10 minutes, I matched with Chris. We spent the next five days texting and on the phone with each other. On April 25th, I traveled five hours on two busses, 2 subways and a commuter rail to get from Lowell to Hartford to meet Chris at the bus station. We went on our first date to Mooyah in New Britain. Six months later, I quit my job at McDonald’s and moved to Connecticut and into our first apartment. I had lived in Massachusetts for 23 years and it’s the only state that I ever remember living in. 2015 - Chris and I traveled with his parents to New Hampshire and saw the Ice Castles. That March, we found out that I was pregnant. I was on the Depo Provera shot. When we went to the Planned Parenthood two days after we found out, the pregnancy was deemed high risk as my HCG levels were about 3 times what they should have been for six weeks along. We spent an entire night and day at St. Francis Hospital to be told by three OB/GYN’s that I had a “unviable pregnancy of unknown location”. A week later we went back to St. Francis for another ultrasound and they found the sac and a heartbeat. The Radiologist said that everything looked normal and my due date was 11/22/15. I refused to believe it, but after three weeks of terrible all-day sickness, the pregnancy was gone. I was 9 weeks, 3 days along. I couldn’t work for an entire week after that. Chris and I have never spoken about it again. After that, I revaluated what I wanted to do with my life. Just not sure what I wanted to do, just that I wanted something that I could help people and that wasn’t a dead end job. That June, Chris was laid off from his first job after graduating college. We had to move in with his parents. I threw myself into working as much as possible. My job at the time was at Panera Bread as an Associate Trainer. That August, I signed up for real estate classes at Manchester Comm. College in Manchester. It took me three months to complete the course, but I passed the final exam with flying colors and looked forward to leaving the restaurant industry behind. Chris and I spent Thanksgiving moving into a two-story townhouse in Ellington. 2016 - I passed my national and state real estate exams on my first try in January. I signed up with Keller Williams in East Longmeadow. My license was issued on February 16th. After a few months, I switched to Keller Williams in West Hartford. I interviewed with several teams. However none of them were the right fit for me. I was still working at Panera but was desperate to leave. That November, I saw a Facebook post on the Keller Williams West Hartford that the Blake Team was looking for a Transaction Coordinator. I responded with my resume immediately and Amina messaged me back within five minutes. Five interviews later, I landed the job and my start date was 1/2/17. After two years at Panera Bread, it felt incredible to put in my two weeks’ notice. 2017 – Started my first “real” job in January in Wallingford. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to learn from. Everything I know about real estate is from this team. While I enjoyed a job that kept me busy. (Our team was the #1 Individual team at Keller Williams in New England that year) I knew that I wanted to go back to school to finish my bachelor’s degree. That May, I applied to Central Connecticut State University and I was accepted. I started in August as a general business major as I didn’t really know what I wanted to major in. It was intimidating to sit in classes of 20-year-old students at nearly 30 years old. Especially after being out of school for nearly nine years. I would work 8 am – Noon, M-F as an ISA on the team and then go to CCSU from 1 PM – 10PM, Monday – Thursday. First semester didn’t go as great as I wanted to, but I kept going. After months of illness, my nana passed away on Nov. 25th. I had visited her two days prior on Thanksgiving, it was heartbreaking to see her like that. 2018 - I continued my education and kept working in real estate. I went back to handling the transactions for the team that August. I did not want to give that up as I’ve worked hard to get my license and to earn a spot-on Amina’s team. Due to financial reasons, I went back to Panera Bread as an Associate Trainer. So along with taking 15 credits at CCSU, working in real estate, I was working at Panera, my only day off was Saturdays. That May ended up declaring my major as Hospitality and Tourism with a minor in Business Administration. Professor Kreeger, who is the head of the department, was the first professor that I met that cared about my education. He took transfer credits that CCSU initially refused to take. Thus, allowing me to graduate a semester early. My grandfather passed away October 1st, he was my last surviving grandparent. 2019 – I started my last semester at CCSU in January and continued to go to school full time and work two jobs. I’m still not sure how I handled it, but I ended up graduating with a 3.6 GPA in my major and a 3.0 overall. That June, I quit Panera Bread again and took on real estate full time again. In September, Amina asked me if I was willing to take BOLD that year. At first, I was hesitant as I had preconceived notions that it was just cheerleading for agents and a scheme for KW to make more money. After seven weeks on the “Untouchables” team, I was hooked. The energy and momentum were more that I was expecting. I even got my first listing appointment while taking BOLD. I’ve already asked Amina if I can take it again in the Spring. As I look back on the past decade, I first saw failures, from relationships, education, jobs and myself. However, I never gave up, I kept going until I reached my goals. Am I where I thought I would be at 32? No, but I am working to get there. There isn’t a timeline for when things need to happen. I’m going at my own pace.

A Modest Tax Idea

February 27, 2019

My wife and I just returned last month from a week long visit to Grand Cayman.  It was our fifth visit there and has become my favorite island in the Caribbean.  It not only has great weather year around, but is very modern and friendly.  The infrastructure of roads, bridges, and government buildings are all first rate, and the private homes, condos and luxury hotels do not show any poverty at all.

In many islands we have visited, including Tahiti, you find a third world country with five star resorts.  You find extreme poverty, lousy infrastructure and a hostile populace.  The tourist areas are nice, but once you get off the beaten path, it is really depressing.  This is not the case in Grand Cayman.

I did a little research because I wondered how the government operated and how the tax structure afforded the expenditures that obviously have taken place.  I was struck by the things that are NOT taxed there.

There is NO income tax.  There is NO property TAX.  There is NO wealth tax.  There is NO social security or medicare tax. There is NO sales tax.   When you get a paycheck, NOTHING is taken out.  What you earn is what you get.  All revenues are raised indirectly.

To work there, you have to have a work permit, which means your employer must show that he has provided you with a minimum retirement plan and a minimum health insurance plan.  You can’t just show up there, look for a job and live there.  To emigrate there, you must have a valid passport and pass a physical exam, one which shows you are not infected with a STD, among other things.  Even if you make it that far and have a job, you must leave and go back to your home country after seven years and stay away for at least a year before you can come back for another seven.

So, you ask, how do they raise money to operate government offices, schools, and infrastructure?  They have tariffs of about 22% on just about everything shipped onto the island.  There is a “head tax” for every tourist that comes there by airplane or cruise ship that is included in the ticket price they pay for arriving.  There is a real estate transaction tax of 7% when you sell a property.

Living there is expensive, but if you can afford it, it is as close to paradise as you can find.  The people are from all over the world, including the locals, it is a British territory, so that all laws passed there must be approved by the Queen, so that a few rabble rousers cannot upset the balance there.  But, you do have to drive on the left side of the road and learn very quickly how to navigate round a bouts (traffic circles).

Why can’t we enact a similar tax structure in the US?
