What Antigua and Barbuda Sotheby's International Realty does

Antigua and Barbuda Sotheby's International Realty is a privately held luxury real estate brokerage and property management firm headquartered in Saint John's, Antigua and Barbuda. Originally established in 2007 as Majestic Realty (Caribbean) Limited, the firm rebranded in December 2020 upon becoming the exclusive Sotheby's International Realty affiliate for Antigua and Barbuda. With a team of approximately eight professionals, the company represents high-value residential and commercial properties across Antigua and Barbuda, with listings ranging from approximately US$2.15 million to over US$12.5 million, and operates across named residential developments including Tamarind Hills, Moon Gate, The Gardens, Pearns Point, Sugar Ridge, and Windward Estates.

The company's core offerings span luxury villa and residential sales, residential and commercial sales, holiday and long-term rentals, land sales, and Citizenship by Investment (CIP) approved real estate services that enable foreign buyers to obtain Antigua and Barbuda citizenship through qualifying purchases (minimum US$300,000). Additional services include property management, relocation and concierge support, project management, property auctions, and surveys and valuations, supported by an affiliation with a local law firm for legal and regulatory compliance. Revenue is generated primarily through sales commissions on transactions and recurring property management fees, supplemented by rental commissions.

Distribution is anchored in the Sotheby's International Realty global platform (sothebysrealty.com, Reside Magazine, 1,000+ offices across 75+ countries) and the firm's direct agent sales model. The company employs an event-led GTM motion targeting UHNWI clientele through venues such as the Monaco Yacht Show and the Antigua Yacht Show, alongside owned content channels including a quarterly CONNECT newsletter, the Island Paradise magazine (in partnership with Greydoor Publishing), and active social media presence. Customer segments are UHNWI individuals seeking Caribbean second homes or investment property, luxury holiday rental guests, and CIP-eligible foreign investors.
