A. Private Islands Inc. has the world's largest number of islands for sale- the total is currently about 450, excluding those in our island black book.
Q. What exactly is your "island black book"?
A. The Virtual Island Broker. These are the islands that are kept confidential due to the privacy concerns of the sellers, or the islands that are so sought-after that they never make it on to the public market.
Q. Who gets to look at the islands in your black book?
A. Until recently, these properties were reserved for special cases where we knew our client and had a good match for what they were looking for. Our revolutionary Virtual Island Broker technology has now made it possible for any interested island buyer to receive the star treatment. After signing up and filling out an Island Profile, our program will instantly check for matches on both the public and hidden markets.
Q. Who are your clients?
A. Our clients are as varied as our islands! Celebrities, wealthy entrepreneurs, property developers, and even upper-middle class families looking for a unique vacation retreat. With the price tags on many small islands lower than your average urban condo, island ownership is becoming possible for almost anyone.
Q. Where are your islands located?
A. Wherever islands are found and open to purchase- ranging from traditional areas such as the Caribbean, Europe, and Canada to lesser-known regions like Asia and Africa. Our company has some of the only islands available in unique new markets like South Korea, Estonia and Egypt.
Q. How do I know if island purchase is right for me?
A. Research is the most important way to determine whether island ownership is right for you. The Private Islands Online website offers articles, a discussion forum and extensive resources on the challenges and pleasures of island ownership, and more than 200 islands available for rental, which is a great way to 'test drive' the private island experience. Please see our Guide to Buying an Island for more details. Our knowledgeable staff at Private Islands Inc. is also happy to answer any questions you may have. Contact us.
