Bria Fredericks
Agent
Bria, a St. Croix native, returned home in January 2018 after living stateside for 6 years.
While away, Bria completed her B.A. in Public Relations at Barry University. Upon graduation, eager for change, she moved to Brooklyn, NY. New York was beautiful, different, thrilling, and full of contract production jobs but Bria was drawn back home after only two years in the big city.
Coming home was an easy decision for Bria but she wasn’t quite sure what professional path she wanted to take when she got here. Revisiting a thought she had while in NY, Bria decided this is where she wanted to pursue real estate. After a few encouraging and honest words from friends, and now colleagues, at Blue Sky Real Estate, Bria began shadowing agents in February 2018 and then became an agent in July 2018.
Now, Bria is ready to make new connections and help owners, buyers, sellers, and renters in the USVI meet their needs!

Jai Raphael
Agent
Jai Raphael, daughter of international real estate brokerage owner & investor Caryn Hodge, and legendary real estate developer, investor, entrepreneur, and Jungle Bay Dominica hotelier Samuel Raphael, spent her formative years observing the business of real estate.
“Observing the development of a lot of projects, the sale of everything from land, homes, and condos, seeing my mentors moving property throughout my whole life, makes this business second nature to me. On top of that, because I am from the Virgin Islands, I know a lot, geographically, historically, I know the market. I always do my best job and I am here to provide top notch service.” Jai said.
Clients cite Jai’s thoroughness, taste, willingness to go above and beyond, and rigid code of professionalism as key attributes that left them more than impressed with her services.
The St. Croix real estate market is hotter than it has been in years and there are a lot of options out there available for both buyers and sellers, provided that they have someone on their team that can turn an opportunity, into an appreciable asset.

Jay Rollins
Agent
Jay moved to the beautiful island of St. Croix in 2015. Real estate deals were always part of his life (having flipped his first house at the age of 22), and he decided to make it official in 2019 after working with Blue Sky Real Estate colleagues in various other capacities.
Since moving here, he has been very involved with the non-profit community throughout the territory– particularly around the role of recovery from the 2017 hurricanes. Through this work, he helped to oversee volunteer teams using donated materials to rebuild 73 homes on St. Croix. He also currently serves as the chair for the Virgin Islands Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster.
In addition to his passion for getting Virgin Islanders back into their homes, Jay loves to work with newcomers to the territory. Whether looking to purchase your dream home, your holiday home, or a rental property, he is happy to work with you to find the property that best meets your needs.
