Anguilla’s real estate arena has expanded with the official launch of Trophy Properties, a new and versatile company owned by a group of US-based partners. The opening ceremony, held on Wednesday, October 12th, was marked by an atmosphere of excitement and goodwill, with government officials, tourism personnel, and real estate professionals in attendance to extend their congratulations.
Trophy’s Executive Assistant, Leana Harris, welcomed the guests, and highlighted the company’s core values of partnership and trust. “Today marks a new chapter and an exciting milestone for our company,” she said. “Our goal has always been to connect people to Anguilla to share the beauty of the island while providing exceptional service and creating lasting memories.”
“This moment represents more than just growth for our company,” she continued. “It is a celebration of teamwork, partnerships and trust.”
Partner Neil Freeman shared the story behind Trophy’s formation, recalling that fellow partner Paul Weimer had once sought to purchase a home in the Caribbean and chose Anguilla. “I introduced Paul to real estate agent Lisa Delong who sold him a wonderful house which he has renovated to a beautiful villa called ‘Peace and Happiness,’” Freeman explained.
He said he also introduced Paul to Steve Haines who does great real estate business in Anguilla. “And between Paul, Steve and Lisa and I we decided to create a real estate concept, that aligns our separate skills sets, and now we have started Trophy Properties Caribbean.”
Mr. Freeman in his remarks highlighted the experiences of the individual group members. Steve Haines sold him Long Bay Villas; and the condos at Four Seasons, Anguilla as well. Lisa Delong sold all the condos at Tranquility Beach; Paul Weimer sold Cuisinart (now Aurora) and he also sold Zemi Beach to the Dart Group.
According to Mr. Freeman, he was also involved in supporting the completion of Malliouhana and Zemi Beach. He also shared that, alongside Ian and Janine Edwards, he helped develop Tranquility Beach Anguilla, which has been honored by Forbes as the top boutique hotel in the Caribbean and named among the “Best of the Best” hotels in the world by TripAdvisor.
With this distinguished team behind it, Trophy Properties enters Anguilla’s real estate sector with experience and a commitment to excellence.
