Editor’s Comments Here we are – near the end of 2020 and most of the world just can’t wait to see the back of this bizarre and cruel year. On a positive note, we are seeing lots of vaccines in the pipeline with some hope of having a few rolled out before this year is over. That is very good news indeed!

Here in Barbados we continue to roll with the punches but our strict protocols seem to be effective. As the northern hemisphere prepares for winter and the problems that may bring, we are enjoying cooler temperatures, beautiful breezes and sunshine after a rainy November. Our Visa stamp programme has been successful and increasingly, people are choosing to work from Barbados and experience what it’s like to live on our beautiful island. This is a tremendous Pamela Hiles, Editor initiative!

In this BPN special Dec Jan issue, we welcome East Avenue Realtors and A1 Supermarkets for the first time with us. We have our solution to all your Christmas problems with our great gift guide. I’m sure you will find something for everyone as our advertisers have the most magnificent array of things for the season. BEAVA have also provided a list of agents which is most informative.

Barbados Property News is on line at www.barbadospropertynews.com and on social media. For many this holiday season will be hard, perhaps without being near to loved ones. We wish you above all else, a healthy and relaxing holiday season and remind you that this too shall pass.

Roll on 2021!

The Benefits of Joining the Barbados Estate Agents and Valuers Association (BEAVA) BEAVA is a Professional Members Association whose members aim to provide a consistently high level of professional services to their clients.

Clients will know that when they are doing business with a BEAVA member, they can expect to be well informed, and to be practicing a high code of ethics. Should Clients, other Real Estate Agents or Valuers think that there may be any wrongdoing, there is a Disciplinary Committee in place to hear grievances and to take appropriate action.

All BEAVA members benefit from the BEAVA By-laws and code of ethics and standards of Practice. Each and every member is interviewed and must have a certain level of Real Estate knowledge. Courses at The Barbados Community College and at the University of West Indies are offered and must be completed before becoming a full member. BEAVA then offers continuing education seminars for all members held every other month which also presents itself as a great opportunity for members to get to know each other better and build great working relationships.

The members on the Real Estate and Valuers Boards and Councils make themselves available to mentor any other member as they each have quite a wealth of knowledge and experience. The Office is open every day with the Administrative Assistant there to answer all queries. Many businesses and people call the Association to ensure that the Agent or Valuer they want to work with is indeed a member of BEAVA. Members are constantly kept up to date with industry news and are also automatically members of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) being invited to their seminars, networking with their members and sharing their news.

Lastly, there is a social aspect to BEAVA as members get together after modules and workshops held every other month and of course the Christmas Party. BEAVA aims to encourage co-operation, friendships and mutually respectful business relations between Member Agents and Valuers.

Archers Hall reopens at Limegrove Lifestyle Centre A few months after a tragic fire in Speightstown completely destroyed the home of Archers Hall Design Centre, this iconic store has reopened at Limegrove in Holetown.

Monique Archer and Terri Archer have worked tirelessly from the day after the fire to set up the Design section of the business at Port St Charles and now their retail showroom at the trendy shopping centre in St James. Well known for quality furniture and accessories, it is terrific to see them back with a wide range of great furniture and accessories for the season. The good news is that the beloved 300 year old building that housed Archer's Hall in Speightstown was not totally gone and they do plan to rebuild in this prime location eventually. Don’t miss paying them a visit at Limegrove!
