Mike and Steve,

My experience with Roatan Life and specifically, Mike Carter extends almost 10 years. Roatan Life has delivered on all of the Home Management needs of our condominium complex in a way that no one on the island could have. As president of the Home Owners Association I found Mike, Gene and their entire team to be reliable, trustworthy, and the best value for our money. I give them credit for upholding the value of our investment in Roatan even through the tough economic times.

Mike Carter is by far the best realtor I’ve had the pleasure to work with both on the island and in the U.S. He worked diligently and honestly and was able to list and sell my Condominium in Roatan in less than 3 months. Mike has incredible insights into the Roatan real estate market, that was a big factor in matching the right buyer for our property. Mike ensured that the sales process was complete, accurate, timely and that the experience was mutually beneficial for all parties involved.

I would recommend Mike Carter and Roatan Life for all of your buying, selling and management services in Roatan. I look forward to working with Mike carter on the purchase of our next Roatan home and will be confident that my property will be safe in the management hands of Roatan Life. If you would like to speak with me about my experience, please don’t hesitate to call me, Mike has my contact information.

I listed my home for sale with Mike Carter at Roatan Life Real Estate and was very pleased with his high level of professionalism and communication. He and his staff had regular showings and managed to sell my million-dollar home during the worst economic conditions. I also credit Mike with holding the deal together during some difficult negotiations with the buyer. In the end, Mike helped me increase my financial leverage beyond the sale price while securing 3 weeks use of the property for the next 5 years. I recommend Mike Carter and the entire team at Roatan Life.

Sincerely,
-Mark West

Mike Carter is someone you can count on-before, during and after your home purchase Living so far away and having two small children, we didn’t have a lot of time to spare once we arrived on the island. From our first email, Mike was efficient and insightful in helping us narrow down our choices, so we could focus on the homes that would suit us best. Mike not only went out of his way to show us every home we wanted to see on our schedule, he also introduced us to the people and culture of the island that we have now come to love and cherish. After buying our home, we know that if there’s anything we need, we can still call Mike, and he is always willing to help. If you’re looking for an honest, straightforward, knowledgeable realtor, Mike is the one for you.

Dear Mike:

When we met you in 2009, we just knew that we would be starting an incredible adventure with the Roatan Life team and what an adventure it has been! From our initial meeting through the purchase of our retirement home, the Roatan Life team has been with us every step of the way guiding us through the process, coordinating meetings with lawyers, home inspectors, assisting us with establishing bank accounts etc (the list goes on and on). We certainly took you at your word when you told us to “call if you need anything, anything at all”! Without the invaluable assistance of Juliette and her translations, we certainly would have had a rough ride those first few months. All these many months after our house purchase was concluded, and your team is still there for us to answer our questions, make recommendations and provide overall support should we need it – this is an incredibly comforting feeling to us “Island Newbies” to know that we can turn to the experts who will send us in the right direction!

The mark of a successful business is the degree of customer service and customer satisfaction that they deliver and you and your team deliver Platinum Level Concierge Services and we would not hesitate to recommend you and your team! We have sung the praises of Roatan Life to everyone we know and will continue to do so for years to come! Your team has delivered on your initial promise that “we will be there for you after the sale”. Our heartfelt thanks to all for helping to make our retirement dream a reality!

Hi Mike, Thanks for all of your help over the past couple of years.  Given the global meltdown, I think your firm did a great job and obtained a fair price.

Dear Steve:

We arrived home all in one piece after a very memorable and enjoyable trip. Naturally we are excited about our purchase in Lawson Rock and we are very impressed with your diligence, effort, professionalism, friendship and helpfulness.

Steve Hasz found us the “perfect” home. He took the time and effort to make sure we had just what we wanted. His response time to phone calls and e-mails is fantastic. Attention to detail is the best. Could not have had a better agent.
-Roger and Reva T.,

Not knowing much about the island, and having only a day to explore, we contacted Mike Carter–who I found by surfing the internet. To make a long story short, he picked us up at the dock and showed us a wide variety of places to purchase on the island, including Infinity, which was close to his office. He had no idea who we were, but took a great amount of time with us to show us many kinds of property on the island he obviously loves. We found him to be an invaluable source of information. When we got back to the states, the idea of investing in Infinity didn’t go away, although getting answers to questions from Mike helped clarify things.

Perhaps the sale would have gone smoothly anyway, but buying through Mike gave us a great amount of peace of mind. He gave what we feel be unbiased advice as we went through the process, and each time we received communication from Infinity, Mike followed up with email letting us know that he had confirmed information, and all was in order.

I came to Roatan a year and a half ago out of curiosity. I was lucky enough to meet Steve Hasz during my time here. I can honestly say that Steve’s no pressure style and honesty in presenting the pitfalls and benefits of real estate on Roatan was key to my decision to buy the home of my dreams.
-Mickey B., Point Lookout, NY

Herbie was my realtor when I brought my land. I highly recommend him! Herbie is knowledgeable and an excellent communicator, he made the buying process very clear. I was a nervous first time buyer who asked him MANY questions, he is patient and vigilant. Thanks again Herbie, I love my place.

It was a pleasure to work with Steve on the sale of our property. His extensive market knowledge and strategic pricing guidance enabled us to sell quickly at our asking price. Steve’s strong connections on the island made a significant difference. He is personable, understanding, and highly professional. Despite our absence at the time of closing, Steve coordinated every aspect of the sale through his legal team and kept us informed throughout the process. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or purchase a property.

-John Rose

John and Barbara were outstanding. We contacted them before arriving in Roatan to arrange viewings. They quickly understood our needs and found the right fit. They were responsive throughout the process and helped us close within a week. Their knowledge of the island and personable nature stood out. We signed the paperwork on our new piece of paradise before flying home. True professionals—we highly recommend them!

-Jeff Fons – Home Owner at Blue Bahia, Roatan

Working with John and Barbara was a great experience. Their professionalism, honesty, and deep knowledge of Roatan stood out. They met us at the cruise terminal, took us to lunch, showed us around, and never asked for anything in return. We learned so much in that short visit—it took two years before our dream home became a reality, but they patiently supported us the whole time.

We bought a Spanish-style home for part-time living and rental. They connected us with reliable people and a rental agency to manage everything. Six months in, no regrets. They’re genuine people—friends now, not just realtors. Highly recommended. They make home-buying fun and never pushy.

Definitely give them a call.

My wife and I met John and Barbara by chance while visiting Roatan and exploring the possibility of purchasing property. This encounter made us aware of a piece of property that was possibly available but not officially for sale. We utilized John and Barbara to facilitate the research and offer process, which resulted in the successful closing of the property in the community where we want to reside.

The purchase was uneventful, given its complexity, and very professionally handled by them both. They make a great team, and we have no doubt as we transition to Roatan full-time that John and Barbara will also grow as friends. We cannot recommend them more highly.

-John and Kristi Voves – Owners, Lot 13 in Palmetto Bay

Barbara and John Morris were amazing! We love Roatan and were looking for our dream home away from home. We weren’t sure we’d buy on this trip, but we wanted to explore. They listened to what mattered to us and took us on a two-day adventure viewing properties. In the evenings, we even enjoyed food and drinks with them.

They found us the perfect location, and we negotiated a fair offer. Then COVID hit, and we couldn’t return to the island for closing. With offices shut down and travel limited, it took a herculean effort to get all the documents released, authorized, and approved. We closed the deal remotely thanks to their hard work.

The best part? We now call them neighbors—they moved in next door!
What a great experience during such difficult times. Thanks, Barbara and John.
