What Do You Want From Us? – Albert + Michael – Saba Island Properties

What Do You Want From Us? Albert & Michael Saba Island Properties
We’re not looking for greatness.
Not looking to be better or the best.

We simply want to know our customers: To put ourselves in their shoes and see exactly what they need and desire.
Yes! Desire — Aspirations — Hunger for — Set one’s heart on — Full out yearn for. It’s that emotional and specific for us to understand and then to make that change happen. It’s called empathy.

  • How do our customers see the world?
  • What is important to them?
  • Why is it important?

 

How may we best serve you?

It might be assisting you in buying a piece of land or a house, booking a two week cottage rental, helping you to retire on Saba while you still want to be useful or enabling your deep desire to build a legacy for your children and grand children, connecting and belonging to the community, opening a business, living in a safe place.

These are some of the actual dreams of our customers and the service we provide helps people who are looking for a place in this world, maybe a specific home in this world and…  it might just be on Saba.

It’s not about persuading or pushing you but really listening and enabling things to change and to happen. The bonus is this: renting or living here permanently will add to your life and make it better. As expats, who moved here 6 years ago, we have the facts about living and working here in ways no one else does. We love our lives on Saba and you’ll get the truth from us. We’re delighted to give you honest and generous service to promote the lifestyle and culture of this beautiful Caribbean island.

What empathy can do

Take a look at this testimonial and we’re sure you’ll understand what we do — meeting your needs and wants. Practicing empathy and making change happen.

“We would like to thank you and express our appreciation, Albert & Michael, for the impressive services both of you provided to us via
Saba Island Properties in our recent purchase of our property in Upper Hell’s Gate.

Your company’s ability to provide “cradle-to-grave” service from searching, finding, negotiating, buying, and closing on the property made this one of the easiest purchases of the many we have ever made — in locations where other international name-brand real estate companies have failed to meet the high-level threshold of service provided by Saba Island Properties.

Clearly, your small (and relatively new) but effective real estate company is a product of both of you — the two people who have infused their past work experience, work ethic, and enthusiasm into establishing the ethos of this Saba-originated, homegrown service on this small but rich 5-mile square jewel.

We think your former occupations in customer service, home design, furnishings, and your diverse international cultural roots have made you the ideal duo for bridging the aspirations of interested outside investors towards Saba.

You are able to bring the islands “heart” to outsiders and help them appreciate the benefits — outside the actual beauty of the land — which is the kindness, caring, and heart-filled devotion Sabans have for their own and those who become part of their own. It is what makes Saba, Saba… and it is one of the reasons we love it, we are glad we have established roots here, and that you two are the advocates for letting those who care about the things we do know that it exists.”

Why Saba?

After living and working in New York City for 40+ years I leaped right out of the rat race of corporate America; leaving behind the relentless stress and competition that was wasting me; to rediscover what really matters to me in life.

We went looking for a new home all over the world - the Azores, the Maldives, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Malta, the Caribbean and by pure luck, found Saba.

Saba gives me peace, joy, freedom and a community where I feel I belong. People are respected here; living free and open, in the heart of deep nature and incredible beauty. It's a remarkable change.

The work we do enables us to care about other people. Helping them find a new home with practical empathy for their needs and dreams. It's an emotional investment. To listen. To understand. It's work that matters to us. Work we're proud of.

Maybe you have similar yearnings for change. Wanting a better way to live.
A place where you feel at home, with yourself and with the world.

You might just be looking for a new spot to vacation. Unique. Unknown. Crowd-less. Safe. Friendly.... Hello Saba.

Or... you're already hooked on Saba and keep coming back year after year because you love it! Booking your favorite hotel and room or renting a Saba cottage or villa.

Or... Saba's lifestyle makes you dream of a bigger change. A more personal connection to this exclusive, wonder of an island. Something lasting. Just yours and investing in a home is fixed in your mind and heart.

Feel free to email me and let's find out exactly what you want and see - Is the Caribbean island of Saba right for you? Let's make those thoughts and wishes a reality and then... they won't be thoughts and wishes anymore.

I look forward to saying to you one day --'Welcome home!
Be it for a week or... a lifetime.
