Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty was thrilled to welcome Lerano Missick to our Grace Bay office, where he spent a week immersing in the world of real estate. During his time with us, Lerano gained basic understanding of the real estate industry in the Turks & Caicos Islands. This experience not only introduced him to the essential framework of our local real estate but also provided him with valuable insights into real estate marketing and industry best practices.

Lerano’s passion for learning was evident throughout the week. He eagerly embraced the opportunity to explore the real estate sector and showed a genuine interest in pursuing this exciting career. Lerano spent time with Richard Sankar, Broker and Director of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, where they explored our role in key developments like Rock House, The Strand Turks & Caicos, and Southbank. He also learned the ropes of listing luxury properties from our Global Real Estate Agents, including Michael W. Bovell, Lisa Lopes, and Dee Agingu. Also, a big thank you to the team—Simone Rigby, Shanice Williams, Takera Francis-Hanna, Bianca Harvey-Joseph, and Davidson Louis—for making his week a memorable and valuable experience.

“My experience at Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty was amazing. In just one week, I learned so much and got a real look into the world of real estate. The team was welcoming and took the time to explain how everything works, which made it really interesting. I especially enjoyed the one-on-one time with the agents, hearing their stories, and getting advice. Going to listings and showings with them was a great hands-on experience”, Lerano stated.

He also added, “The best way to learn is by doing. This week showed me just how much you can grow when you’re willing to show up, ask questions, and stay curious. I’ve learned how important communication, professionalism, and relationship-building are in this field, and it’s made me even more excited about a career in real estate.”

We also want to take a moment to applaud the faculty at the British West Indies Collegiate (BWIC) for their exceptional dedication to shaping the lives of young students. Their commitment to providing a high standard of education, alongside a balanced array of extracurricular activities, ensures that their students are not only well-prepared academically but also equipped with the confidence and independence they need to thrive in today’s diverse, multicultural world. Graduates of BWIC leave with more than just knowledge—they possess the life skills and self-assurance to excel in any field they choose.

We wish Lerano a successful school term and all the best in whatever path he chooses to pursue in the future. At Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, we are proud to support the development of young professionals like Lerano, and we look forward to witnessing his future successes. It is clear that his time with us has sparked a newfound passion for real estate, and we are confident that he will make valuable contributions to the industry in the years to come.
