About Phil Weir and Ana Svoboda

Phil Weir believes to be successful at real estate on Roatan, one needs to have three important qualifications: business experience, real estate experience and knowledge of the island. Based on his past history he has all three.

Phil graduated with a degree in business from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. He was successful in the restaurant and nightclub business in Dallas, Texas, having owned Whiskey River with the country singer, Willie Nelson.

Continuing in business in Aspen, Colorado, he received his real estate license in 1977 and sold successfully fulltime until 1991. He is presently a licensed real estate broker with Morris and Fyrwald in Aspen and a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Certifies International Property Specialist Network of the NAR.

Phil has lived in the Bay Islands for 17 years, starting out in Cayos Cochinos in 1991 before moving to Roatan in 1993. Phil started the Scuba School for Anthony's Key Resort and was a PADI Course Director.

He opened Roatan Life Real Estate in 2002 and has enjoyed great success having ranked consistently in the top 5 in real estate sales for the past four years. Phil has built two homes on Roatan and just recently built a new home in Palmetto Bay Plantation. He and his wife Pati, who is from Roatan, have a son and a daughter.

In 2008 Phil sold Roatan Life Real Estate to his associates; Steve Hasz, Mark Havey, Mike Carter and Gene DeMarco. With over 17 years of living on Roatan it was not an easy decision. But with his children, Robbie and Ashley, turning 6 and 8 respectively, their future education needs fueled the impetus for this decision.

But this does not mean Phil is giving up doing business here on Roatan. In an effort to continue his Real Estate Business on Roatan through Roatan Life Real Estate and to represent the interest of those who have entrusted in his experiences, Phil has decided to team up with a person who he believes will be a great asset and who is very knowledgeable about the Real Estate Business in Roatan, that person is Ana Svoboda. She is native of Honduras, attended school at Lincoln University in Missouri and currently is serving as a board member on the Roatan Realtor's Association.
