–as Blue Print Real Estate opens local base
CHANGING the landscape in the local real estate market is the aim of newcomer to Guyana, Blue Print Real Estate, which plans to employ over 100 persons while in pursuit of its goals.
The company, owned and operated by Guyana-born Zalena Khan, officially opened its doors here on Saturday.
Blue Print, in a press statement, said that it plans to revolutionise the way the real estate sector does business in Guyana, as it was developed to meet all the demands of the various sectors, especially in light of Guyana’s current economic boom, fuelled by its petroleum and other productive sectors.
Guyana, with its new-found oil wealth, is on the cusp of economic transformation, and has already received the title of “investment capital” of the region and possibly the world.
The company, in positioning itself to absorb those benefits, plans to provide a suite of real estate services like buying, selling, or property renting, property management, real estate advice, compliance, valuation, drafting of all documentation (agreement of sale and purchase/power of attorney), relocation, full renovation services, construction, property maintenance, security services and more.
Blue Print, unlike other companies, will be targeting a niche related to Guyanese in the diaspora, who own houses here. According to the company, high on its agenda is the handling of matters related to homeowners, living abroad, who require assistance in caretaking or property management, as well as those desirous of assistance with addressing property disputes.
The company’s CEO was quoted in the statement as saying: “There are many Guyanese that migrated, leaving their properties unattended. Those properties most times are left empty, unattended and deteriorate over time, or become the subject of fraud in some instances.
“Now we are here and will be providing representation for these homeowners by professionally managing their properties and offering services such as security, renovations, construction, maintenance, amongst many others.”
Cognisant of Guyana’s upward trajectory, the company has implemented a mechanism to ensure Guyanese returning home, as well as ‘ex-pats’, will be provided a world-class real estate service that is second to none.
It was reported already that Guyana’s rapid development presents an abundance of investment opportunities for members of the Guyanese diaspora to capitalise on.
“With the influx of oil and gas workers and migrants returning to their homeland, there is a surge of investment and a demand for a professional and reliable real estate service and this is what we will provide for our customers,” Khan said.
Further, Khan said: “Our clients are our greatest priority and it is our goal to ensure every client is satisfied and comfortable with the services we provided for them. Our values guide everything we do which develops and defines our culture, our brand, our business strategies, and who we are as professionals in today’s corporate world.”
The company is affiliated with some of Guyana’s well-known and prominent names such as BM Soat Auto, Cimgro Construction (the developers of Maraiko Bay), and other local and international real estate companies such as Trinidadian-based real estate company, Royal Jordanian Real Estate.
It was reported in December 2020 that Go-Invest was able to facilitate 55 potential investments valuing $276.6 billion within three months, paving the way for the creation of more than 10,000 jobs in 2021 and beyond.
The Guyana Chronicle understands that of the 55 projects to which Go-Invest referred, 28 are local, 25 are Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs), and there are two joint ventures.
