Coldwell Banker inks deal with Hamptons International

Could a new link with a top UK real estate company spur high end home sales in Bermuda?

Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty hopes so.

Last week Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates (CBIA), representing Coldwell Banker in the Caribbean and Atlantic Island region, and Hamptons International, a leading estate agency in the United Kingdom, announced their exclusive partnership at recent meetings held in New York City. 

Brian Madeiros, president and CEO of Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty, said in a press release: “These regional meetings and opportunities for marketing via international media are part of the benefit of being involved in the global Coldwell Banker network.”

“We value these opportunities and utilize our connections to promote Bermuda and our real estate service offerings.”

The agreement allows for additional exposure of all of Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates’ property listings to be marketed by Hamptons International and also displayed on their website, www.hamptons.co.uk.

“This agreement is a smart move on the part of both companies. There has long been a connection between the Caribbean and the UK. Many people from the UK are looking to buy property in the Caribbean, so the agreement makes sense to have reputable real estate agents on both ends of the transaction,” said Jim Reed, managing director of CBIA. “We are proud to have Hamptons International as a referral partner in the UK.”

Alasdair Hedley, head of International at Hamptons International, said: “The demand for second homes outside of the UK is gaining momentum and we’re thrilled to have extended our partnership with Coldwell Banker to include Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates. 

“Traditionally the Caribbean has been a real hotspot for our buyers and we’re looking forward to capitalizing on the opportunities that this partnership will bring.”
