Rainforest Realty, who are we?
Our Leader: Rev. Macarena Rose founded Rainforest Realty in 2003. She started Rainforest Realty when she moved here with her teenage daughter from Florida and discovered the real estate agents here were neither licensed nor trained. Macarena came to Belize as a Director of her church and decided to offer her vast experience of real estate with integrity, service and southern charm. She became the first President of the Belize National Association of Realtors® (BNAR) in November, 2007, when the National Association of Realtors® in the United States recognized the Belizean delegations' efforts to create a professional organization across the country. Once settled, she has become fully involved in the community. Macarena has coached the Belize's Men's Semi Pro Soccer Team. She's the voice Belizeans hear on their cell phones for automated responses. She assists the Lands Department in clearing up title work, and works with others to help with offshore banking, financing, incorporations, and is familiar with Belize in all her glory. Macarena has a great network of real estate agents across the country to whom she refers clients when the properties needed are out of her market area or beyond her expertise. That is a true mark of a professional Realtor, At Rainforest Realty, it is always about the client and what is their best interest. We are the Relocation Specialists of Belize.
