Fifteen hand-curated listings. Eight years on the island. Zero patience for the kind of brokerage where your email gets lost in a CRM and a junior agent calls you back three days late.If you're considering Sint Maarten — to live, to invest, or just to escape — I'd rather be the person who tells you the truth than sell you a fantasy.
I write things. The relocation handbook. The DAFT pathway guide. The neighborhood compass. These are free. They exist because I got tired of answering the same emails one at a time. If they save you from hiring a $4,000 consultant, that’s the goal.
I will never be the largest brokerage on the island. I don’t want to be. The 15-listing model means I can know each property and each buyer well enough to actually match them. That’s the entire pitch.
I moved to Sint Maarten in {year} expecting an island. What I got was a logistics puzzle wrapped in postcard scenery. The visa I should’ve started 90 days earlier. The bank account that took three months. The neighborhood I picked because of a Saturday-morning feeling that turned out not to match Wednesday-evening reality.
I made every mistake foreigners make on this island. Then I started writing them down. And then friends started asking me which mistakes they were about to make. Then strangers started asking. And then I got my real estate license because helping people land here properly turned out to be a thing I was good at.
This is what I do now. Not a thousand listings. Fifteen. Each one I’ve physically walked through, met the seller, photographed at three different times of day, asked the hard questions. The result: when I tell you a property has soft afternoon water pressure on the top floor, I know that because I went up there at 3pm.
Beyond the listings, I run two services that exist because the brokerage model alone doesn’t actually solve the moving-to-paradise problem: Day With Wei (eight hours on island with me, four neighborhoods, one honest read on whether Sint Maarten is right for you), and Digital Embarkation (the pre-arrival prep nobody else will do for you).
Real results driven by years of experience and trusted client relationships.
From first email to closing day, the same predictable rhythm.
First conversation: 30 minutes, free, on Zoom or phone. I ask why you're considering Sint Maarten. I tell you whether your reasons are realistic. Sometimes I tell people not to move. Most brokers don't. I do.
Day With Wei or a self-guided tour. We see four to six properties + four to six neighborhoods. You leave with a one-page summary of what fits and what doesn't. No high-pressure pitch. No "let's write an offer today."
Once you've decided, I run the offer, the inspection, the legal coordination, and the closing. Then — and this is the part most brokers skip — I introduce you to my vetted contractors, lawyers, accountants. I want you settled, not just closed.
Wei told me NOT to buy the first property I fell in love with. She was right — the building had a lawsuit I'd have inherited. She found me a better one two months later.
Day With Wei was the smartest $500 we spent. We thought we wanted Cupecoy. Wei showed us why we actually wanted Dawn Beach. We're three months in and she was right.
She replied to my first email in 90 minutes. I'd contacted four brokers. Two never replied. One sent a generic PDF. Wei sent specific properties + her honest read.
