Testimonials

‘They consistently deliver prompt results and demonstrate expertise in selling properties in the Bahamas. Their efficiency has been exactly what I needed while purchasing property in another country.’
‘Working with Gia Sands has been delightful. She is proactive and genuinely values her customers' satisfaction.’
‘McKinney, Bancroft and Hughes offered both real estate and corporate services. They were able to handle both types of transactions for us and will act as the registered agent for our entity going forward. They were able to assist us with everything we needed in house, establishing a new business entity and completing a real estate transaction for the business, without having the need to involve other firms.’
‘Gia Sands took a personal and vested interest in us as clients. She took her time to understand not only the transaction but also us as individuals and advised, advocated and conducted business accordingly. There wasn’t an occasion where we felt that even a relatively simple piece of business wasn’t a priority. Her expertise, engagement, humanity and commitment is a testament to her character, all of which we value as a client and are why she remains our attorney.’
