Entrepreneur Sarah Sams has joined Coldwell Banker Lightbourn Realty as a sales agent in Elbow Cay and Lubber’s Quarters, Abaco.

Ms Sams has lived in Abaco since birth, except for her years at Valencia and Stetson University in Central Florida, where she majored in Fine Arts.

After university, she started Pineapples, a popular waterfront restaurant in Green Turtle Cay, which has been in operation for over 10 years.

Ms Sams worked as a water sports coordinator at Baker’s Bay Golf and Ocean Club in Guana Cay, and went on to start Abaco Paddle Board, a water sports company in Elbow Cay, with her husband.

A licensed boat captain with many years of experience navigating the Abaco chain of cays, she lives in Lubbers Quarters with her husband and two sons.

Mike Lightbourn, president of Coldwell Banker Lightbourn Realty, said: “A lifetime in the hospitality business has given Sarah a unique insight into tourism and development in the Abacos.

“She has the insight, experience and commitment to successfully conclude any type of transaction, whether it involves a small home, a private island or anything in between.”

Coldwell Banker Lightbourn Realty’s Abaco headquarters are located in Marsh Harbour. The company also has offices in Nassau, Exuma and Long Island, and agents in Andros, the Berry Islands, Bimini and Eleuthera, including Harbour Island and Spanish Wells.
