Specializing in luxury properties throughout the islands, MAISON Bahamas has been appointed as the exclusive Forbes Global Properties member in The Bahamas
NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Forbes Global Properties, a curated consumer marketplace of luxury homes and an invitation-only membership network of top real estate firms, is proud to welcome MAISON Bahamas to its prestigious ranks.
MAISON Bahamas is the first firm to be awarded membership in The Bahamas, where it will exclusively represent the brand.
Founded and led by foremost local real estate agents Ryan Knowles and Rhonda Waton, the team combines more than three decades of experience with an earned reputation of success to deliver the highest level of personalized service.
MAISON’s hallmark “local touch” provides buyers and sellers with unmatched insight on the islands’ vast real estate offerings, which range from expansive waterfront estates to the finest new condominium developments.
Knowles, MAISON’S CEO, made history as the youngest Bahamian ever to qualify as a licensed real estate agent, and quickly ascended to the very top tier of the market, breaking numerous sales records and revolutionizing the way real estate is marketed on the island.
Demonstrating his commitment to professionalism, Knowles is a certified luxury home marketing specialist (CLHMS), a coveted designation that places him in the top one percent of all licensed agents in the US and the Caribbean.
Waton is an industry veteran and perennial top producer in the Bahamas real estate market. For 17 years, she has affectionately been known as the “queen of Eleuthera”, having listed and sold more significant properties there than any other realtor.
Her specialties include consulting with developers, working with private island buyers and appraising waterfront properties throughout the islands of The Bahamas.
