Jamaica Homes is an online platform facilitating property transactions and information dissemination within Jamaica's real estate sector. The platform was founded in August 2021 by Dean Jones, and serves as a central hub for property buyers and sellers to locate properties of interest.[1][2]
With its comprehensive platform, Jamaica Homes aims to streamline selling, buying, and renting residential and commercial properties and offers tools for making informed real estate decisions.[3]
The origin of Jamaica Homes dates back to Dean and his wife, Jody Jones's fascination with Grand Designs in the UK.[4] Inspired by the allure of mansions built by returnees in Jamaica, Dean and Jody documented their journey on the Jamaica Homes YouTube channel. This exploration prompted Dean to establish Jamaica-Homes.com, transitioning from documenting returnee mansions to creating a groundbreaking online platform for Caribbean property listings.[5]
Jamaica Homes emerged onto the real estate scene in July 2019 in Kingston, St. Andrews. The company was officially registered in Jamaica as a business entity in 2021. Founded by Dean Jones, Jamaica Homes is a property listing platform catering to individuals seeking to buy, sell, or rent properties. The portal also provides valuable information and tools to assist users in making informed real estate decisions.[6][7][8]
Jamaica Homes serves various regions across Jamaica, including Surrey, Kingston, St. Andrew, Portland, St. Thomas, Middlesex, St. Catherine, St. Mary, St. Ann, Manchester, Clarendon, Cornwall, Hanover, Westmoreland, St. James, Trelawny, and St. Elizabeth, adapting to the evolving dynamics of the real estate industry.[9][10]
Jamaica Homes facilitates seamless transactions and interactions within the Jamaican real estate market. The platform focuses on bridging gaps in property building, buying, selling, and renting and offering a specialized search engine for realtors, enabling users to locate and connect with trusted real estate professionals.[11][12]
Jamaica Homes leverages its extensive network and industry expertise to assist new homebuyers in securing land and navigating the homebuilding process. Through strategic connections with developers and a vast social network of over 10,000 industry professionals, including registered REALTORS®, the platform facilitates connections with local agents.[13]
Beyond a property listing portal, Jamaica Homes contributes to industry standards through informative blogs and actively seeks partnerships with government entities to enhance construction standards across Jamaica.[14][15]
In addition to its web portal, Jamaica Homes launched iOS and Android applications in February 2024, enhancing accessibility and engagement.
