Amy is the absolute "go to" person for real estate on the island. Over the years I've been strongly impressed with her consistent energy, focus, and "whatever it takes" approach to getting our property sold. In preparing our property for a potential buyer, Amy paid for someone to cut lookouts so that the dramatic views of our beautiful land became even more evident. I have worked with numerous brokers over the years and give Amy my highest recommendation.

I was one of several trustees of 100+ acres of land in the northwest section of St. Croix. This was due to a settlement in 1996 involving about 70 beneficiaries. When we took over as trustees, initially we tried to sell the land without a realtor. But we were never island residents; so when we looked for a realtor, we wanted the best one on the island who would give us straightforward, honest input; and someone who would do as he/she said. During the years that we worked with Amy Land de Wilde and her staff, we found them to be always responsive, always dependable, and always straightforward. Working with anyone for a number of years is often a challenge, but instead we knew that we could always rely on Amy to be true to her word. That's so different from many other realtors and a wonderful breath of fresh air. We would heartily recommend Amy whether you are selling or purchasing on St. Croix. Michael Penny

Amy is the consummate professional, but is also wonderfully personable and friendly, so not only is she willing to spend hours with you to tour all the properties you want to see (and help you eliminate properties based on her knowledge of the area and your preferences), she is a joy to spend those hours with as you travel around the island. She is very quick to respond to questions or requests (she was
able to set up a tour for a friend on less than an hour notice), and has been in the industry long enough and has such a great reputation that she can help with all aspects of your real estate transaction, from buying to selling to financing to insurance. She has been in the islands long enough to provide guidance in areas beyond real estate as well, such as cleaning services, car rental, grocery stores, drug stores and general island life. Although I hesitate to declare anyone to be perfect, I cannot imagine a better real estate agent!

Amy Land-de Wilde and her staff were our go-to people in St. Croix, both when we bought our villa in 2004 and when we sold it in 2015. They know thoroughly the island, its neighborhoods, and the real estate offerings available in each area. As the five stars in each area above indicate, the ratings are a true assessment of the skill level and talent that make up the team of Amy, Corrine and Tammy. We feel very fortunate to have known each of them and highly recommend the professional services of Amy de-wilde and team.
Sherry and Mike Mohr 3 Villa Madeleine, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
We couldn't have ask for anything more in an agent or broker. We had showings and response right away. They really had consideration in keeping us notified of showings and feedback from potential buyers. Professional from the start. Would highly recommended.
Gordon Pritchard and Theresa Woods 43 C Solitude, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
I had wanted to sell my house and buy a different one for quite a while and Amy was there the whole way. I explained that my husband was not likely to be as interested as me in moving but she
continued to show me houses and kept in touch until the timing was right. She worked with both of us...kept him calm and took care of everything. Amy and her staff made all the changes to the new owner look effortless. Her knowledge of the market and of housing on the island ensures any home seeker she will find the right one for them.

Simply the best real estate person I have ever had in over 40 years of buying and selling properties. Amy and her staff are always there to answer questions.
