Meet the Realtors Chris Thompson
Samara Albury Samara Albury was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. Samara spent a few years at IMG Tennis Academy (formerly Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy) following in her Brother, Mark’s footsteps. After high school she attended Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida where she attained a BA in Communications. After graduating at the age of 20, Samara visited Hope Town, Abaco and lived their for almost 2 years before moving back to Nassau to pursue a real estate career. She knew without a shadow of a doubt that Abaco would be her permanent home someday. Samara’s dream came true when she and her husband, Christopher moved to Abaco in late 2011. Samara has been selling real estate for over 10 years attaining her Broker’s License in 2009 and was a 3-time Top Producer at H. G. Christie in Nassau. Samara and Christopher are now partners at Hope Town Hideaways and she looks forward to many years of success in Real Estate. Samara has been involved in giving back to the community in many ways over the past 10 years through her brother, Mark Knowles’ Annual Celebrity Tennis Event which she helps to organize and co-ordinate. She also personally mentors and educates a young man who spent most of his life in a Children’s home. Her passions include helping others, painting, boating and especially writing. She has even had a few of her poems published.
Christopher Thompson founded Hope Town Hideaways Real Estate when he returned from college and became one of the first licensed brokers in Abaco. For the past decade Chris has been busy with many projects including a 40-slip marina in Guana Cay but certainly the most exciting is polishing one of Abaco’s island jewels – Matt Lowe’s Cay – one of the most exclusive island developments in the Abacos. After dedicating a larger portion of his life to real estate, Chris loves to build and develop properties always keeping in tune with our precious island style and ensuring low impact. Chris donates time to the community and was President of the Elbow Cay Restoration Committee, where he worked with other volunteers and rebuilt the Elbow Cay’s entire eastern shoreline. When the Central Government of The Bahamas decided to empower Abaco with her own local government, Chris was appointed by the Right Honourable Hubert Ingraham, Prime Minister of The Bahamas, to chairman of the first business licensing board. He was asked and accepted the honor of Justice of the Peace in 2005. Chris has three children Jade, Shannon and Dylan who are all attending college in the USA. When he is not selling real estate, Chris can be found riding the waves, free diving, sailing or fishing…Abaco is the life for Chris – no doubt.
Steve Thompson Steve Thompson grew up in the real estate business. His father, Joe was one of the founders of BREA (Bahamas Real Estate Association) and enjoyed many successful years as partners with his older brother Chester Thompson. In addition to real estate sales, Steve specializes in property management on the island representing dozens of homeowners. Steve’s roots can be traced back to Wyannie Malone on his grandmother’s side and the Eleutheran adventurers on his grandfather’s side. His wife Susan is a professional interior decorator in the area. Steve and Susan have three children and two grandchildren. Ask Steve about his time as a professional football player for the Redskins – no joke! Steve has dropped the football now for the Hawaiian sling and enjoys spear fishing as often as he can.

I have very good memories of our stay. Thanks!” Joan Dec 2014 “My husband and 16-month old son stayed at this property over the holidays and absolutely loved it. The property was baby-friendly, clean and beautifully decorated. It has all the amenities one is looking for on a family vacation. The property is perfectly located near town, where everything is just a short walk away. In addition, the property manager was extremely attentive. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Many thanks for facilitating such a memorable family experience!” Angie Jan 2015

Trip Advisor Review: We’ve stayed at HTHL several times, the last being this past weekend. The location is perfect, rooms are clean, and the entire staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool and outside eating area and bar are a few short stair steps to the ocean & a wonderful beach with some decent snorkeling (on calm days). The food is very good both for breakfast and lunch by the pool & ocean area as well as the indoor restaurant inside the hotel!
