Bahamas Real Estate - Homes, Condos, Property and Vacation Rentals

Mike Lightbourn
		Role: President Office: Nassau Phone: (242) 601-6500 Mobile : (242) 357-4154 There are agents who know the Bahamas, and then there is Mike Lightbourn. When Mike began his real estate career in 1966, most of today's leading agents had not yet been born. In 1984 he opened his own firm, and in 1999 he brought the Coldwell Banker franchise to the Bahamas, building what is now one of the most respected and productive real estate companies in the country. Six decades in, his knowledge of this market is not something you can summarise in a bio. It is something clients feel the moment they sit down with him. Mike is a private pilot, and has been flying the Bahamian island chain for decades. That access gives him something rare: a firsthand, intimate understanding of every major island, every out island pocket of value, and the nuances that shift from one to the next. He has not just read about these places. He flies to them, regularly. When clients ask about opportunities beyond Nassau, they are speaking with someone who has landed there, walked the land, and knows what the market conditions look like on the ground. His appraisal credentials place him in a category of their own within the Bahamian market. Mike is an International Real Estate Institute certified senior certified valuer and a Bahamas Government approved assessor, with a career that has taken him across Nassau, every major out island, and numerous private islands. His work has been commissioned by the United States government, the US Department of Justice, and the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence. When institutions of that standing rely on your valuation, it speaks to a level of expertise that goes well beyond the everyday. One of the longest-serving members of the Bahamas Real Estate Association, Mike has held the positions of Vice President, Director, and Chairman of the BREA Appraisers Committee. He is a graduate of Dover College in Kent, England, holds a Bachelor of Science from Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oregon, where he majored in Insurance and Real Estate. That academic foundation, layered over six decades of active practice, gives him a command of Bahamian real estate law, ownership structures, and market dynamics that very few can match. Away from the office, Mike is a proud member of the Rotary Club of East Nassau with a 100 per cent attendance record, a detail that tells you something about the man. He is an avid tennis player and treasures time with his grandchildren. For clients who want access to one of the most experienced and knowledgeable real estate minds in the Bahamas, the conversation starts here.
