SAINT BARTHÉLEMY (Dec. 16, 2024) – Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates is proud to announce the opening of its first office in Saint Barthélemy, marking the company’s inaugural presence in this luxurious Caribbean destination. The new office, Coldwell Banker Saint Barth, is led by Broker/Owner Gabriel Montigny, a seasoned real estate professional who is an established force in Caribbean real estate. With the addition of St. Barth, the Coldwell Banker® brand continues to strengthen its global presence with locations in more than 40 countries and territories.
Larry Burke, CEO of Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates, said, “We are pleased to begin working with the diverse clientele of buyers, sellers and investors in St. Barth, from international clients seeking luxury getaways to local residents purchasing their next homes. Our services are tailored to the local market and bolstered by a worldwide network of real estate expertise.”
“Saint Barthélemy is a jewel of the Caribbean, renowned for attracting a discerning international clientele who enjoys its pristine beaches, luxury boutiques, and gourmet restaurants,” said Montigny, who also owns and operates a Coldwell Banker affiliate office in the French Riviera. “I chose to affiliate with the Coldwell Banker brand for its position as a global leader in luxury real estate and its values of excellence and innovation, which perfectly align with the expectations of my clientele. The Coldwell Banker international network and modern tools allow me to provide high-end services and unique visibility to my clients, whether in the Caribbean or the French Riviera.”
The Coldwell Banker brand expanded its ubiquitous presence both in the U.S. and internationally in 2024, opening 28 new locations across 10 countries internationally, including two new markets, in the third quarter alone. The global real estate company continues to prioritize top talent and acquisitions of companies in key markets leading into 2025.
Jason Waugh, President of Coldwell Banker Affiliates, emphasized the strategic importance of the new office. “Saint Barthélemy is a globally renowned destination. Establishing a Coldwell Banker office here enhances our brand’s presence and extends our reach by providing personalized services and direct access to a discerning, mobile clientele seeking exceptional properties in one of the world’s most coveted markets.”
“The real estate market in Saint Barthélemy is thriving and has been evolving for decades,” said Montigny. “It is an exclusive territory with unique features, such as the absence of income tax and corporate tax, in addition to its undeniable tropical charm. Prices remain consistent with other luxury markets such as New York or Los Angeles, and they are significantly more affordable than Monaco. These characteristics make Saint Barth a dynamic and attractive market, both for investment and personal use.”
