RE/MAX Sponsors Flowers Sea Swim 2023
For the 8th consecutive year, RE/MAX Cayman Islands was a proud Gold sponsor of the Flowers Sea Swim. This annual family-friendly event was held on Saturday, June 17th. RE/MAX agents and staff participated on the beach where all event attendees were able to spin the wheel to win a variety of prizes.
Partnered with RE/MAX Cayman Islands and the Bovell Team Josh Mason Placed in Podium at all 3 Races in the European Formula F3 Championship in Hungary
Josh Mason dominated the podium last weekend at the Hungarian round of the European Formula F3 championship after being called up only a few days prior to the weekend. Of the three-race weekend, Josh earned a third place in race one, a second place in race two and a brilliant victory in the third and final race.
RE/MAX Cayman Islands and the Bovell Team at RE/MAX Cayman Islands proudly partner with this 21-year-old race car driver who had nurse a significant injury from the first race that caused a lot of pain in his back and shoulders, so the podium place finishes were even more impressive.
“Josh is an incredibly talented driver especially at such a young age,” added James Bovell at RE/MAX Cayman Islands. “His dedication to the sport of racing is outstanding and I have no doubt that one day we will see him competing in Formula One races.”
"After taking two podiums in three races at Spa-Francorchamps, I walked into the Euroformula Open paddock at the Hungaroring more confident than ever and certain that my first win in the series wasn't far away,” added Josh Mason.
“With Saturday behind us, it was time to take on the final two races of the round,” added Josh Mason. “Starting from P2, I got off the line very well in Race 2 and came out on top of the battle with my teammate at the first corner. I knew it was important to be in the lead coming out of turn one, so that was my aim. It is hard to follow and race around Hungary, and coming out of turn one first is 50% of the job. The other 50% was hitting my markers, staying consistent, and not making any mistakes despite the pressure. I did that and was able to pull away to take the win. My first in Euroformula Open. It was a mature drive and one that I’m proud of.”

RE/MAX Cayman Islands Announces its Newest Real Estate Apprentice Ryan Bovell
Back in 2016, RE/MAX Cayman Islands launched its three-year real estate apprentice program with its first apprentice Stephen Rivers. After completing the program, Stephen is now a full-time agent with RE/MAX Cayman Islands and has been with the company for over 6 years.
RE/MAX Cayman Islands is proud to announce its newest real estate apprentice, Ryan Bovell who shares his insight into the apprentice program.
The apprenticeship offered by RE/MAX Cayman Islands is one of the most unique opportunities I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. When I first heard of the program, I was very interested but didn’t have any real estate experience. Thinking this would hold me back I was a bit hesitant but the entire team at RE/MAX Cayman Islands has been extremely welcoming.
I’ve just completed my seventh month of the apprenticeship and my experience grows daily. I believe we have the most dedicated agents and incredibly knowledgeable support staff in the Cayman Islands. The entire RE/MAX family has been kind, inviting, friendly and always ready to help.
The goal of my 3-year apprenticeship is for me to have the most vast and appropriate knowledge for every scenario within a very challenging and ever-changing industry. Other parts of the apprenticeship delve into all aspects of becoming a successful real estate agent such as marketing yourself and how to secure and maintain clients and customers. I will also learn a crucial aspect of being an agent which is how to complete all of the necessary steps and documents involved in real estate transactions.
The apprenticeship is very comprehensive. The first year focuses on how to think like a real estate agent, and includes things like deadlines, keeping on top of other agents and clients, and the importance of good communication. I’m learning how to work with the MLS (Multi Listing System) system and LIS (lands and survey).
My second year will include me working under an agent in our office. I will be learning how to do social events like managing both private and public showings. With each new aspect of real estate comes a new plethora of knowledge needed to be successful in this highly competitive market.
The third and final year will be spent just easing into the professional market until the final year is up. At the end of my apprenticeship, I will then decide if I’d like to venture out on my own or join a team.
As I continue down the road of my real estate career, I’d like to take just a moment to thank everyone at RE/MAX Cayman Islands for their support, knowledge, and guidance. It has been exceptionally educational, and I look forward to continuing this journey with such a great group of agents.

RE/MAX Cayman Islands Announces Shaye Ebanks as its Newest Real Estate Apprentice
Back in 2016, RE/MAX Cayman Islands launched its three-year real estate apprentice program with its first apprentice Stephen Rivers. After completing the program, Stephen is now a full-time agent with RE/MAX Cayman Islands and has been with the company for over 6 years.
RE/MAX Cayman Islands is proud to announce its newest real estate apprentice, Shaye Ebanks. Over the course of the next three years, Shaye will learn all aspects of the real estate business beginning with the administrative side of real estate which includes learning the entire process that is needed to close a deal, learning how to operate the MLS and LIS programs, as well as attending various training courses to develop excellent customer service skills.
In her second year, Shaye will start shadowing different agents within RE/MAX Cayman Islands to learn how to put together deals, experience how agents conduct showings, open houses, and listing presentation, as well as learn what it takes to be a standout agent in such a competitive marketplace.
In her third year, Shaye will be CIREBA trained as well as attend numerous courses and become a Sales Assistant on a monthly rotational basis.
“It has been almost two months since I have been at RE/MAX as an apprentice, and it has truly been amazing so far” added Shaye Ebanks. “As a young girl at the age of 7-9 years old I remember watching the infamous show, “House Hunters” with my mom. For some reason even at that age I found something so interesting and entertaining to watch. It was the satisfaction of the different locations and houses that were shown that caught my attention and I fell in love with the idea of selling someone their forever dream home. Once I became mature enough to understand what kind of business it was, I told myself that’s going to be my future career.”
“I came to RE/MAX with a fresh mind, open to learn more about real estate and ready to pursue great things for my future in this industry,” continued Shaye Ebanks. “As a young Caymanian it is important to me to make a name for myself and to represent my country by showing how hard working and disciplined, we Caymanians are also. This industry offers so many opportunities and connections and I am so excited to soon be a part of people’s lives and sharing the joy with each one of them when it comes to selling them their dream home.”
“Becoming a successful real estate agent is more than just passing your CIREBA exams,” added Kim Lund, Broker/Owner, RE/MAX Cayman Islands. “Our real estate apprentice program allows individuals to learn all aspects of the real estate business which will undoubtedly make them stronger, more passionate, and dedicated agents. We are very impressed with Shaye and her commitment as a young Caymanian and are excited to see her progress over the next couple of years.”
“By joining our apprentice program, Shaye has already exhibited the dedication needed to become a strong agent,” added James Bovell, Broker/Owner, RE/MAX Cayman Islands. “We welcome her to our RE/MAX Cayman Islands family and are here to help her achieve her goal of becoming an agent with us.”
