Mario Carey Realty (MCR) announced this week the appointment of nine licensed professionals, each of whom joined in recent months and will serve as independent contractors.

Together, they bring the total MCR staff complement to 22, including three in the appraisal department. New agents are Raymond Antonio, Marcus Bain, Lisa Carroll, Mark Carter, Katherine Jarman-Knowles, Osano Neely, J Brooke Phillips, Andrew Seymour and Tristan White.

“We are very excited about the energy and enthusiasm that each of these agents brings to the profession,” says founder Mario Carey. “We are also pleased that because of the change in the BREA (Bahamas Real Estate Association) code, we are able to draw on talent that has other interests.”

“They all understand the importance of social media and they all recognize that you can be working at real estate 24 hours, 7 days a week.”

“We have moved past Monday-Friday in a profession that is conducted in the first search largely online. It is a new day and I am thrilled that our MCR agents understand the importance of the Internet and personal attention. We want to ensure that every agent, whatever market they are focusing on, understands that it is all about personal service and living up to our slogan, ‘We Sell Luxury.'”
