Checklist for Island Buyers
Our Emphasis is on Habitable Private Islands!
Since 1975, over 1,800 sold and several 10,000 island beds rented.
In excess of 12,000 island files in our archive.
As we are constantly in contact with island owners,
we know the difference between habitable private islands and remote private islands!
This checklist is to be taken very seriously. It applies to all islands.
However, paradise can never be found on earth and we always have to live with some compromises. Therefore, the checklist is to be considered as a
guideline to evaluate private islands and its purpose is for the buyer to determine with which combination of pros and cons he can live best.
How do we value the islands we list to insure that they have a quality standard?
We give each of the 12 checkpoints on the list 2 points - altogether 24 points. If the islands, which we list, reach 66% of the maximum amount of points, then we accept the listing and can consider the island as habitable. This is only a guideline to make sure that every buyer knows what he/she is buying. All other islands which do not meet this standard will be listed on our website, if at all, under "Other islands". Islands which do not even reach 33% will not be listed on our website at all.
