Success Stories 2011
Due to our previous success with the Atlantis, we were once again asked to help them with their real estate
efforts with the sales of their latest condo hotel, “The Reef”. Our main focus was to fine tune the sales process
along with increasing the sphere of influence within the international luxury resort real estate community. The
end result was the majority of the remaining inventory was repriced accordingly and liquidated.
