The Business of Trust – Albert & Michael – Saba Island Properties
Recently we received this email from a new client:
“We’re looking for a real estate agent that we can trust and will provide us with honest information.”
We hear this a lot and… it says plenty about how real estate agents are seen.
When we followed up we learned that the people had been in touch with some other Caribbean real estate companies but couldn’t get answers about access to land they thought about investing in. Even when they asked for clarification in an email, the realtor didn’t answer the question. They told us — “If you can’t get a straight answer, how can you trust that person or company.”
Trust and honesty should be the foundation for every business. It’s central to your integrity and success. How you treat people, the quality of your service and the amount of care you have for people is necessary and certainly expected if you want to gain and maintain a good name in business. That’s why people make up their minds to work with you or not to work with you.
If you buy a computer from Apple, shop on line with Amazon, book a hotel room through TripAdvisor, you expect those products and services to be tops! You expect them to come through with excellence; with promises they keep.
It’s what we, Albert & Michael at Saba Island Properties, do. We set standards and keep our promises.
Watch yourself the next time you’re talking to customers – answering emails – marketing on social media – creating content – networking – setting up events – asking for sponsors – and see what you’re putting out to the world:
- What promises are you’re making?
- How will you come through?
- What are you promoting?
- How do you attract people and build loyalty?
- How do you create meaning?
- Why do clients choose to work with you?
- What makes you remarkable?

Connecting with the right person is crucial when looking to buy, sell or renovate a property because… this is your home.
Finding the perfect location, where you’ll be totally comfortable, is my ultimate goal for you.
My years of experience with Real Estate and Interior Design, will help guide you toward that positive result - be it a traditional Saban cottage - an impressive estate - a gorgeous piece of land or... investing in a business here on Saba.
We’ll find exactly what works for you; examine all the parameters of your future home, and I’ll do my utmost to put the pieces of the puzzle together for you.
Discovering the island of Saba was the change I was searching for. A change of lifestyle. Leaving the ridiculous, debilitating fast pace of New York City and financial stress behind.
I came to Saba to retire but soon learned that I was too active to sit around and had too much life knowledge and experience not to give back to other people. My work in real estate enables me to do that and much more - helping people live well, here on Saba.
My specialties are residential work - interior planning – contracting - purchasing furnishings, materials and all other resources - adept at space planning - keen ability with color selection - highly capable of working with every media and in a variety of styles.
Creativity and staying on budget are real priorities for me. Pulling it all together and making it easy for you, is what I do best. From Bermuda to France, throughout the United States; working with CEOs' of top global businesses, recent college grads, newlyweds. I’m here to make you feel completely at home.
Come to Saba. We’ll have fun making your wishes and plans a reality!
*I'm a graduate of Parsons School of Design and I was - Corporate Senior Vice President of Interior Design for W & J Sloane and - Corporate Design Director for the Bloomindale's stores. Then I opened my own company -- Pensis - Stolz Inc. / KPS - at The Design Center in New York City for over 35 years. What stories I have for you!
I worked with Givenchy - Leona Helmsley - the Chairman of Sony and The Museum Tower Apartment - The Four Seasons Hotels - Johnson & Johnson - Gloria Vanderbilt and more.
I was fortunate to have designed for the Vanderbilt show houses - Kips Bay - The Woolworth Estate - The Gould Mansion - The Gimble Estate -The Gold Coast of Long Island - the Scarsdale Country Club - The Weis Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell University - the King of Saudi Arabia - Mrs. Nat King Cole.
Everything from private train cars - planes - yachts - lobbies - and the joining together, designing and completely redecorating (from top to bottom) a double, four story townhouse in NYC. Wild and wonderful projects! I'm also proud to say I was a weekly contributor to the New York Times for many years.
I'm still working with private clients throughout the world and I absolutely love my work in real estate. I had no idea the people we would meet when we opened Saba Island Properties or the friendships we have made. We're connected all around the world. That's exciting, amazing and profoundly gratifying to me.
