Internship on Bonaire

Wick van Ierssel
Intern real estate
Sunbelt Realty Bonaire


Bon tardi,

My name is Wick van Ierssel, I am 20 years old and come from Beek en Donk, in Noord-Brabant. I am currently in my third year of studying Real Estate at Fontys Hogeschool in Eindhoven. I am lucky to be able to work for my internship on this beautiful island, where I enjoy sun, sea and challenging work in real estate every day.


From study to practice

During my internship, I mainly work in the sales department. This means that I get to deal with many different aspects of brokerage. For example, I accompany viewings and intake interviews, where I get the chance to see how our brokers present homes and advise potential buyers. I also prepare sale agreements and help with appraisals. This mix of administrative work and client contact gives me a good idea of what is involved in selling real estate

I also hae permission to be creative from time to time. For example, I help record videos for the properties and I am responsible for the distribution of our magazines. This makes my days varied and dynamic and I am constantly learning new things.


Enjoying the island

Besides my work, I love exploring the island in my free time. Snorkeling in the sea and sailing along the beautiful coastline are at the top of my list of favorite activities. It's special to experience the beautiful nature and relax completely for a while.


What makes Sunbelt Realty the perfect internship?

During my internship at Sunbelt Realty, I got to experience how diverse and educational working in real estate here can be. From viewings and administrative work to creative projects and client contact: no day is the same. In addition, you work in a close and enthusiastic team that is always willing to support and guide you.

Are you an ambitious real estate student or similar and looking for an internship where you can not only develop yourself professionally, but also personally? Then consider an unforgettable internship experience in the Caribbean! Working in this environment offers you the chance to put your knowledge into practice, acquire new skills and enjoy tropical life in the meantime.

If this appeals to you, do not hesitate to contact us. Send a motivated letter with CV to info@sunbeltbonaire.com and you might be the one who, like me, will experience an unforgettable internship.

Finally, I would like to thank the team at Sunbelt Realty for the great collaboration and the opportunity to learn so much. I look forward to the rest of my time here and hope to gain many great experiences!

Best regards,


Wick van Ierssel
