What does it really take to become the go-to real estate broker in the Bahamas?
In this episode of In The Hype Seat, Holly Meyer Lucas sits down with Tim Rodland, founder of Rodland Real Estate, to talk about his journey from growing up between New York City and Nassau to building a global client base of high-net-worth buyers and sellers.
Tim shares what it’s like to sell ultra-luxury homes across the Bahamian islands, the tax and residency strategies that attract international investors, and how he built his business by refusing to follow the status quo. From Albany and Baker’s Bay to underrated Out Islands, Tim breaks down the nuance of pairing people with the right lifestyle — not just a property.
They also dive into how real estate really works in the Bahamas (hint: you do need a license), what to know if you’re buying offshore, and why Tim’s fast, high-touch service model has made him the most trusted broker in a market known for being, well... slow.
This conversation is full of real talk on luxury, identity, reputation, and what it takes to stay sharp in a place where most people are on vacation.
