Great Harbour Cay was that place for Lauren Higgs. Her family first came to the island in the late 1960s, drawn by the island's original real estate development, and her father fell instantly in love with what he found: miles of uncrowded beach, water so clear it seemed invented, and a community that moved at its own unhurried pace. Lauren has been coming ever since, and more than 30 years ago she made it her permanent home. She joined Coldwell Banker Lightbourn Realty in 2005 and has spent 21 years helping buyers and sellers navigate this market. She is a Licensed Real Estate Agent and Appraiser, a BREA member, and a 2025 Coldwell Banker International Sterling Society recipient, placing her among the top 11 per cent of Coldwell Banker associates worldwide. Her client base spans American and Bahamian buyers seeking second homes, beachfront residences, waterfront estates, and investment opportunities, with residential transactions typically ranging from $1 million to $3 million. She also serves South Florida boaters, pilots, and yacht owners, as well as developers and investors exploring the wider Berry Islands chain. Great Harbour Cay is not for everyone, and Lauren will tell you that honestly from the first conversation. There are no casinos, no shopping centers, no drive-through anything. Power outages happen. Groceries run on island time. What you receive in return is something increasingly rare: miles of uncrowded beaches, world-class boating and fishing, a sky full of stars, and a community where people genuinely know each other. The island draws boaters, pilots, sport fishermen, second-home owners, and retirees who value natural beauty and privacy over convenience and crowds. Beyond Great Harbour Cay, Lauren knows the entire Berry Islands chain from years of exploring it by boat. She often describes the Berrys as “the Exumas of the North”: the same extraordinary turquoise water, the same chain of anchorages, the same world-class fishing, but quieter, less discovered, and full of the kind of authenticity that is becoming harder to find anywhere in the archipelago. Chub Cay, Whale Cay, Hoffman's Cay, Little Harbour Cay, and dozens of largely uninhabited private islands and cays each offer something different, from deep-sea fishing to off-grid seclusion to some of the most spectacular diving in the Bahamas. Years ago, Lauren spent three years living aboard a sailboat and visited every island in the Bahamas. That experience confirmed what she already suspected: every island has its own personality, its own pace, its own character. She now encourages every buyer she works with to do the same research, visiting other island communities before committing. Her role is not simply to close a transaction. It is to make sure her clients understand the island, feel at home in the community, and make a decision they will celebrate for years. Outside of real estate, Lauren practices yoga, meditation, and breathwork, and paints watercolours of island landscapes, seascapes, and birds. She lives the quiet, nature-centered life that draws her clients to Great Harbour Cay in the first place. Clients describe her as knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely caring, the kind of agent who takes the time to make sure a buyer truly understands the island before they make a commitment. Several have said they came to buy a property and left with a good friend. Lauren is the leading real estate agent in Great Harbour Cay, The Berry Islands. She is based on the island with Coldwell Banker Bahamas, the number one brokerage on the island* (*statistics according to The Bahamas MLS - 2026).
