A BAHAMIAN realtor has participated in an exclusive event hosted by the UK's largest real estate agency.

George Damianos, president of Damianos Sotheby's International Realty, attended the event held by Countrywide at the Millennium Hotel in London. Countrywide owns and operates London Sotheby's International Realty and UK Sotheby's International Realty.

Mr Damianos gave a presentation on the Bahamas, showcasing it as an ideal destination for primary and second home owners, and highlighting its tax neutral incentives and the ease of buying property.

He also featured many of the company's exclusive property listings before an audience that included more than 150 industry leaders, and representatives from banks such as Lloyds, RBS, HSBC and Virgin Money.
