Roz recently returned to the BVI, having lived here in the 1990s, where she ultimately became part of the management team on Necker Island. Since then, Roz has circumnavigated the globe several times as the onboard broker on the ship The World, a one-of-a-kind private residential yacht that is made up of 165 private residences aboard the vessel. She then moved to the Maldives, where she led real estate for the most luxurious, sustainable resort in the world Soneva Jani.
After a conversation with David Johnson, the founder of Oil Nut Bay, Roz joined the team in December last year. “I had heard about David over the years and people said we would make a great team. While I thought my BVI days were over, it was an unexpected surprise to find myself back here. It’s great to be back”.
Now located at Oil Nut Bay on the breathtaking island of Virgin Gorda, Roz and her team have the privilege of working with clients to find their dream homes, amidst the beauty of this paradise.
When I was on Necker Island, I used to look across the Sound to barren land and now it’s an incredible low-density community spread across 400 acres. David has dedicated his life to creating exceptional generational communities that exist in perfect harmony with the natural world. His unique approach to development blends science and art seamlessly, resulting in architectural designs that are nothing short of breathtaking,” says Roz.
“I have a brilliant team made up of Alexander Dobbs, our Real Estate Manager, originally from Michigan and a keen water sports enthusiast. He has lived in the BVI for eight years, starting as a watersports instructor before David saw his potential and moved him into the real estate team—he’s a natural! Californian Jeron Timmons gave up life in the USA and brings great experience to the team, and Josh Langford is a BVI native who is starting his real estate career. This diverse team is focused on bringing the right energy to the real estate process and we are having an incredible year as a result”.
“David launched the Corcoran BVI franchise in 2021, initially focusing on promoting properties at Oil Nut Bay. However, with growing demand from owners in the area seeking a fresh approach to selling their homes, we started taking on external listings in the North Sound and Virgin Gorda. Corcoran is an amazing brokerage to be affiliated with; I love how dynamic they are and their brand philosophy of ‘live who you are’ really resonates with me—it’s all about relationships and authenticity and our team truly exemplifies that”.
Oil Nut Bay offers a choice of undeveloped home sites and developer-built homes and is proud to be one of the only properties in the British Virgin Islands offering freehold ownership, providing buyers with unparalleled flexibility and control over their investment.
