Since opening its doors as a boutique estate agency in 2004, West Coast Villas has expanded its services to include property management and luxury rentals and was selected to be an associate of the Sotheby's International Realty network in 2006.

Throughout its expansion, the agency maintained the qualities that set it apart in a highly competitive industry. West Coast Villas' experienced and friendly staff understand that each client is different and there is no standard formula for giving the best service. With genuine, honest and uncomplicated guidance, West Coast Villas' committed approach to superior customer service has quickly established its solid and respected position in the Barbados luxury property market.

Says Richard Young, Managing Director: 'We are delighted that our hard work and dedication to excellence has been acknowledged by the CNBC Americas Property Awards 2008 and I would like to congratulate everyone at West Coast Villas - we have made great efforts over the years to always push the boundaries of service and marketing and we will continue to look at new and innovative ways to service our clients, who through their loyalty and support have helped establish us as today's market leader in luxury real estate in Barbados.'

The awards were presented in association with the New York Times at a gala held at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, Florida on 7th November 2008. Two of the most outstanding entries in each category were given a four-star award, while the best overall entry achieved five-star recognition.

Judged by a panel of independent professionals chaired by Eric Pickles, British Shadow Secretary of State, the entries represented the United States, Argentina, the Caribbean, Mexico, Panama, Brazil, Canada, Uruguay, Belize and the French West Indies.
