Salisbury native Daisy Grant and her cousin Midian ‘Dj Midian’ Pacquette has started their own real estate company.
Grant who grew up in New Jersey came to Dominica in 2019 to attend ‘Creole Fest’, fell in love with Dominica and decided to move.
She says, “I have been doing real estate in the states for over 15 years. I moved back to Dominica and was working with an agency on island but I didn’t like the work ethic. I didn’t like the fact that whether or not you get a listing, you would have to give half of your commission to the company. Further, I wasn’t experiencing the passion, drive and aggression that I’m used to”.
Midian Pacqutte is an international dj who has travelled throughout the Caribbean and the United States. He is an announcer and dj on DBS radio. While Pacqutte has no experience in real estate, he is confident in his cousin’s vision and knows that she is a serious businesswoman. He is heavily involved in the technical side of the company and takes the time out of his busy schedule to focus on the needs of the company.
The pair envisions great things for the company.
Grant says, “I decided to open my own agency and in doing so will employ young persons as independent sales representatives and give them the training to become successful in the business”.
She says, “I am a fair person and real estate is my passion so why not do it where I’m from and also help others in securing employment for themselves at the same time”.
Grant believes that there is definitely sufficient market in Dominica for another real estate company. She says that there is definitely a lot of property to be sold and the present agencies are not aggressive .
Grant and Pacqutte chose to name their company Green Reef Realty. She explained that the green represents the green verdure of Dominica and the reef relates to island life.
