After a two year reign, William Wong will step down as the president of the Bahamas Real Estate Association (BREA) with the ending of his term. "It's been a very busy, exciting two years for the [Bahamas] real estate industry," Wong informed the Guardian Business. "They have not been typical years for our economy [and] BREA has certainly had a high profile over the last year. I'm thankful to the membership for their support and kind words and the board of directors have been simply outstanding in their support.
"We hope the government in the future, before they decide to make major changes to the economy in regards to real estate, will call on us. Our advice is free [and] we have no agenda, only to help our country and agents and brokers to make a decent living.
"I want them to champion this Freeport issue, which has been a thorn in our side," he added. "Hopefully we will be able to get those people practicing real estate in Grand Bahama and particularly Freeport to be licensed, with the [Grand Bahama Port Authority] recognizing BREA as the licensing agent for Freeport."
The new acting President of BREA, Patty Birch, was elected at the associations Annual General Meeting on March 25th 2010. The Vise President, also elected into office, was Sara Callender.
