The Cayman Islands Real Estate Brokers Association (CIREBA) has re-elected Jeanette Totten, who was also the first woman President to serve CIREBA from 2011-2014.

Jeanette started her own boutique-style real estate company, Cayman Luxury Property Group with her husband in 2004. She has held numerous Executive roles in CIREBA prior to being voted in as President, now for the second time.

Ms. Totten’s work in CIREBA and her re-election means that she is able to get a consensus from other Real Estate Brokers who all represent International Real Estate Companies. One focus has been ensuring that the CIREBA website does not represent any single company but represents the members in a group effort as being one of the most influential professional industries in the Cayman Islands.

Jeanette said “I am honoured to be re-elected President of CIREBA. My goal is to continue moving CIREBA forward in the same direction the past President Michael Day and the Board did. CIREBA continues to be the voice of Real Estate in the Cayman Islands and an association to be emulated by our Caribbean neighbours”

In the coming year, Ms. Totten’s plans are to continue moving forward with the newly restructured MLS website that was launched to its membership in 2015. The old site was 20 plus years old so it was important that it be upgraded into the 21st century.

Another project that Ms. Totten will be focusing on is to attract more brokers and individual agents to become involved in the workings of CIREBA. Jeanette plans on formulating committees, each comprised of Brokers and agents under the leadership of a Board Member. For instance, there will be a committee to deal with the website, signage, and marketing, to name a few. She will encourage the members to participate if asked, or better yet, contact the CIREBA office if they would like to get involved.

Other members that will serve on the 2016 Board of Directors and their respective positions are as follows:

Heidi Kiss — Capital Realty– VICE PRESIDENT

Douglas Sell — Cayman Islands Properties – TREASURER

Heather Carrigan- Sotheby’s Cayman Islands- SECRETARY

Jeremy Hurst– IRG – DIRECTOR

Michael Day — Regal Realty – DIRECTOR

Brian Wight – Better Properties – DIRECTOR

Maria Alberga — Heritage Realty- DIRECTOR

Quatro Hatch — Coldwell Banker — DIRECTOR
