International Realty Group

What International Realty Group does

International Realty Group Ltd. (IRG) is a Cayman Islands-based, privately held real estate brokerage founded in 1994 by Jeremy Hurst, who remains President and Broker/Owner. The firm operates a full-service platform covering residential, commercial, luxury, and land property sales; residential and commercial lettings; property management; corporate and personal relocation; and residency-by-investment advisory. Its primary operating geography is Grand Cayman with secondary coverage of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, and it derives international buyer and seller flow through memberships in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio International — networks providing access to 135,000+ real estate professionals across 70 countries. IRG also operates adjacent group companies Silver Reef (vacation rentals and hospitality) and International Relocation Consultants (IRC).

The company's core revenue engine is commission-based sales brokerage, supplemented by recurring property management and lettings fees and professional services income from relocation and residency advisory. Pricing is transaction-based with rates negotiated per deal and not publicly disclosed; individual listings range from roughly CI$194,000 land parcels to US$79,000,000 luxury properties, and monthly rentals span CI$4,900 to CI$18,900. Go-to-market is sales-led through specialized agents covering luxury, residential, commercial, and development segments, layered with a self-serve website (irgcayman.com) that functions as a property search and lead-generation portal, plus social channels and conference participation (LeadingRE Global Symposium, RICS). The technology stack is a conventional real estate listing platform with search filters, virtual property tours, and CIREBA MLS integration — there is no proprietary AI, ML, or data product.

IRG has progressively expanded from pure brokerage into a development-marketing role, holding exclusive listing mandates on multiple Cayman residential and hotel-residence developments including Mandarin Oriental Residences Grand Cayman, ONE|GT Hotel & Residences (a 10-storey, ~178-suite project that won three International Property Awards in 2024), ARZA West Bay (launched 2022), and SAJE West Bay (launched 2023). The firm employs 11–50 staff and is headquartered at Buckingham Square, 720 West Bay Road, George Town. Ownership remains concentrated with founder Jeremy Hurst, who sits on the LeadingRE Global Advisory Board, with no institutional investors, external funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
