About IsleStay Group

A brokerage built like a great stay.Personal, unhurried, and thought through in advance.

IsleStay Group started from a simple belief: a move should feel like being well looked after. Great hotels anticipate what you need before you ask. We run real estate the same way, with clear communication, a calm process, and attention to the details most people only notice when they are missed.

Founder and broker Carla Turnquest works across borders personally, with deep roots in The Bahamas and an active practice in South Florida. She understands what it takes to move a family, a business, or a portfolio from one place to another, and she knows that a home is about more than the property. Licensed since 2008, she is a Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager (CRB) and a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), with advanced training in seller representation, pricing strategy and negotiation.

Selling with IsleStay

Your home, presented like a five-star stay.

The first impression sells the home. We prepare, present and market your property with the same care a luxury hotel gives its guests, then negotiate hard for your terms.

Request a private market analysis

Led by a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE).
Complimentary and confidential. A market analysis is not an appraisal.

  1. Private consultation

    We walk the home with you, learn your goals and timeline, and prepare a pricing strategy based on current sales in your neighborhood.

  2. Preparation

    A room-by-room plan for repairs, staging and styling, with trusted vendors, so the home shows at its best without wasted spend.

  3. Presentation & launch

    Professional photography, video and a listing written to sell, launched on the MLS, the major real estate sites and our private network of buyers, including international buyers.

  4. Negotiation to closing

    We review every offer with you, negotiate price and terms, and manage inspections, appraisal and paperwork through to a smooth closing.
