Can’t recommend Lin and her team highly enough! Lin really drilled down to exactly what we were interested in, a fixer upper in the lower price range. Rather than pushing us to higher priced properties with higher commissions, I think she actually enjoyed working to find just the right mix of affordability and the vision of what it could be.

Lin at Rainbow Realty has really helped me out. I needed a quick sale on my property, in Lujan, Vieques, which had been lived in for over a year with non paying renters, and Lin stepped up and helped me get the place sold fast. She has been very honest and efficient and a real lifesaver. I would definitely recommend Lin at Rainbow Realty for your selling or buying needs.

Rainbow Realty, Lin Wetherby and her staff recently sold our home on Vieques. Even in these difficult economic times, they were able to match us with a buyer that had the where-with-all to commit to owning property in the Caribbean and at the same time allowing us to receive a fair price for our home. Lin and Gus made the ordeal very pleasant for us and kept us appraised step by step as to the various showings and potential buyers. In our opinion there was full disclosure throughout the process. I would highly recommend Rainbow Realty to anyone looking to purchase property on the island of Vieques. If you would like, feel free to contact us at rkrenmayer@hotmail.com  to discuss our experience with Rainbow Realty.

Als wir uns dann fuer ein Haus entschieden hatten, leisteten Lin und Gustavo doppelte und dreifache Arbeit, da die Verkaeufer den Vertragsabschluss unglaublich schwierig machten. Ueber den gesamten drei-monatigen Prozess halfen sie uns mit Professionalitaet und Freundlichkeit. Jetzt, da wir das Haus besitzen, helfen sie uns immer noch, mit Elektrizitaets- und Wasseranschluessen, Steuerfragen, Versicherungsbedingungen, etc, etc. Sie sind Gold wert und ausserdem unglaublich nette Leute. Wir freuen uns nun auf ihrer Insel zu wohnen! Vielen vielen Dank, Tania Puell & Arnaud Erhart

best, t.

Rainbow Realty helped us to find and buy our dream home in Vieques.
Gustavo patiently drove us all over the island for three full days, showed us every single available house in our price range and was always in the best mood and full of valuable information. We had a lot of fun together!
When we had decided on a house the sellers made a closing incredibly difficult but Lin and Gustavo went far above and beyond the call of duty and saw it through. Throughout the three-month process they helped us with great professionalism and friendliness. Now, that we own the house, they are still helping us, with utililty connections, tax and insurance questions, etc, etc. They are golden and besides incredibly nice people. We are happy to now be living on their island! Many, many thanks, Tania Puell & Arnaud Erhart

Hi Gustavo,
My wife wanted me to send out a note of thanks for all that you have helped us with, and as follows is her note:

In February 2008 my husband and I visited Vieques for the first time. By our second day of vacation we were looking for a piece of land to purchase. Rainbow Realty was the first realtor we approached and they exceeded our expectations in listings, service and integrity. While Lin gave us our first lesson in island history while viewing several exceptional properties, Gustavo lent his island expertise in allowing us to close the deal. With Gustavo's help, we purchased and registered our land, got all our utilities in place [from New Hampshire], and are now ready to come back and build.
We couldn't ask for a better experience or more comprehensive help with any other agency. we owe you a great dept of thanks.
I would like to add a note myself; we have traveled to the islands for many years and considered buying property many times. We have never felt so welcomed by locals that have just wanted to say hi or help in any way that they may, as we have been in Vieques.

Thank you again for all your help and professionalism,

Ray Touchette & Susan Rayno

Thank's Lin!

If you are moving to or planning a vacation to Vieques, PR there is no other Real Estate company to consider than Rainbow Realty. My partner and I have experienced service at both ends and have always been treated like we were their only client. When we finally decided to make the permanent jump to island living Lin was the choice for us.

We started looking for property in Vieques almost one year ago and unfortunately the real estate crisis in the states slowed us down, but even in the weakening market Lin never lost faith in us and continued to help us fulfill our dream. She initially spent time showing us a large range of housing options from small to large and explained what each of the three ecosystems on the island had to offer and the pros and con's of each of the neighborhoods. She continued to read our thoughts and gathered information so quickly I now believe she can "read minds." Out of the list of property we thought we would be interested in she stood up and said, "I know this property is not on any of your lists but, this is your house!" Indeed she was right and in February of 2007 we finally closed. Lin not only worked for us but, is a realtor more interested in bringing two parties together to meet everyone's needs.

Rainbow's professionalism doesn't stop at the closing table either. Things are different here than they are in the states and besides being helpful on where to get things and how things work the entire Rainbow family is more than willing to go out of their way to "Welcome you home to Vieques."
Thank you Lin and everyone in the Rainbow Reality family.

I can attest to the fact that Lin will never give up on you, if she feels you are really going to buy. She spent three years working with us showing us all the properties and then some. Being in the real estate business I know this can be frustrating. We made offers on several properties but when they didn't work out for some reason she kept going. Finally our dream came true...the perfect house...aptly named by my wife...Casa de los Milagros.
Her whole team is great!

Rainbow Realty listens very carefully and then finds the property YOU want. No time wasted looking at stuff you dont want or cant afford.

When we decided to sell our home in Vieques we called every real estate office on the island. Six days later Lin Wetherby at Rainbow Realty showed us our house and presented us with an offer we couldnt refuse. This is the second time Lin at Rainbow Realty has sold our home for us. Needless to say, we have always been satisfied with her service and recommend Rainbow Realty to anyone who is looking to buy or sell on Vieques.

Dear Gus and Lin,
Scott and I cannot thank you enough for all of your assistance in purchasing El Quenepo restaurant. We never could have purchased the restaurant without your expertise and persistence. Your knowledge of not only the properties, but the culture, banking practices, and island time made all the difference! Both of you put in so much extra time to make sure that this purchase would go through! It is such a treat to work with a team that cares so much for their clients and their community. We are extremely thankful for your great relationships in the community! The fact that you personally put your reputation on the line to help us pursue our dream means more to us than you could ever know. We are so thankful to have found such a great team. Of course we will pass along your names to our friends and family so they can purchase their piece of paradise. We look forward to settling in and becoming part of the wonderful community that you have introduced us to!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for helping us to make our dream of living on Vieques come true!
Regards,
Kate and Scott Cole

We never thought we would ever purchase a home site unseen, but we did! We dreamed of owning a home in Vieques but due to time and family constraints we had to rely on our broker for most everything. Thanks to Lin Wetherby and the team at Rainbow Realty the experience was not only easy but extremely satisfying. The house was everything we expected it to be and the transaction was smooth. Thanks Rainbow for making our dreams come true!

Renting our villa was our main concern after purchasing. We wanted and needed the best help we could find. Rainbow does an excellent job for us from rentals to customer service. They take our needs and those of our guests seriously. I would recommend them to anyone interested in a rental property on the island.
