Purchasing a home in JamaicaPurchasing a home in Jamaica Owning your own home in Jamaica has many benefits, especially now that you can take advantage of historically low mortgage rates. In the current environment of relatively low money market interest rates, rising property values and moderate stock market returns, real estate investing continues to be very attractive. Whether you need the property as a place of residence or an investment, knowledge of the laws involved and the availability of mortgage, engaging the services of a lawyer and real estate broker will provide assistance in making this major decision. RE/MAX Elite, for the past 2 years, has consistently ranked in the Top 5 RE/MAX Offices in the Caribbean and Central America region and has maintained a dominant presence in the Jamaican Real Estate market. RE/MAX is truly an international brand, delivering unmatched levels of service across 90 countries; with over 6,300 independently owned and operated offices by people who know the area that bring a wealth of worldwide expertise to a local market.

Real estate, just like any asset class, moves on the fundamentals of the economy. The market is now flooded with competitive and more attractive packages from financial institutions and government policies. Now is the time to buy. The lowering of mortgage interest rates reduces the cost of borrowing and will cause a greater demand in the sale of real estate, as reduced payments remain constant. No restrictions on foreign investors borrowing in local or foreign currency. If US dollar income can be proven and verified then a US dollar mortgage interest rate maybe applied which is lower than the JM Dollar interest rate. This depends on your preference however, if you are applying for a JM Dollar loan, the interest rate applied will be as the locals. The government has reduced Transfer cost from 7.5% to 4% making the process more affordable. Invest in Jamaica. The driving force that has made investors put huge investments in the country is the infrastructure industry.

Open HouseOpen HouseOpen HouseOpen House

Coco Palm in the Waterworks area of

Norbrook, to name a few.

As a result of these open houses, five (5)

units were sold at Ebony Glades, four (4)

units at the London and three (3) sales

pending at the Coco Palm. RE/MAX Elite

has also hosted open houses at individual

homes resulting in quick sales.

Open houses are a tremendous marketing

tool in today’s real estate market and

being hosted by RE/MAX Elite definitely

gives your property the edge.

for real estate brokers and agents only.

This familiarizes other agents with your

product, resulting in additional inventory

for their prospects and co-broking

opportunities.

The other type of open house is held to

expose the property directly to

prospective buyers, which entails

detailed planning and promotions.

The welcome mat is laid out and

potential buyers

are encouraged

to view and

explore the

property. Banks

and Building Societies quite often are on

site to assist and pre-qualify prospects.

We at RE/MAX Elite are usually

successful in obtaining a discounted

price for the duration of the open house,

which is of great benefit to prospective

purchasers.

Agents use these opportunities to

interact with prospective clients and to

obtain important feedback on the

property. This is used to guide both the

agents and owners as to the market’s

response to the property, enabling them

to make necessary changes if needed.

RE/Max Elite has introduced a number

of residential development properties to

the market in this way. Among them are:

Ebony Glades in Russell Heights; The

London on Paddington Terrace; The

As one of the premier Real Estate Agency

in Jamaica, ReMax Elite, is living up to

its mantra of “Giving high quality service

to individuals as well as corporations”.

This philosophy is manifested in a two

fold approach:

Providing excellent service to their

principals as well as prospects and

exposing their listings to the local and

international markets.

In our modern ‘techno-driven’ world, the

internet has become one of the most

effective mechanisms for getting

properties sold or leased. International

data suggest that over 85% of consumers

start their real estate search online. It

therefore makes a lot of sense to give

properties maximum exposure online.

This is achieved by the Remax franchise’s

excellent website, network and

international connections. However,

Remax Elite takes an additional “hands-

on” approach to the Jamaican market.

Along with its agents usual ‘one-on-one’

approach involving sellers and buyers,

the agency also takes advantage of the

“good old fashioned” Real Estate Open

Houses.

The purpose of an open house is to give

potential buyers the opportunity to

experience a property first hand -

something that could not be accomplished

online or through other methods such as

print advertisement.

There are two types of open houses. The

listing agency may conduct an open house

The parish of Manchester is located in west-central Jamaica, in the county of Middlesex. Manchester was named in honour of the Duke of Manchester, the then Governor of Jamaica. He was governor for 19 years, setting the record as the longest serving Governor of the island. The capital town, Mandeville, established in 1816, was named after his eldest son, Lord Mandeville. Mandeville, is nestled in cool hills and was originally a major coffee-growing locale because of its almost temperate climate. Villages and charming old churches are common sights across the countryside. The town has become a preferred location for Jamaican retirees. Today Manchester is a major bauxite producer and grows much of Jamaica’s potatoes and other ground provisions, along with citrus and cattle. This parish is also home to the Northern Caribbean University.

Manchester—Famous for its

cool temperature. A popular location for returning residents.

Enjoy the view from this 9000 sq ft prime residential lot gently sloping up from the road in the quiet developed middle to upper income community of Marshall's Pen less than 5 minutes outside the busy town centre of Mandeville. MLS# 1386 Price: J$4.5M Pauline Brown: 876-883-7430


3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with garage, french windows and water tank. Property ID: 7200 Price: J$16M Wilton Mayne: 876-454-8149



Trelawny was formed from the eastern part of St. James in 1770, after the wealthy planters of the area complained that Montego Bay, the capital, was too far away to conduct business. The parish was named in honour of Sir William Trelawny who was then Governor of Jamaica. The first capital of the parish was Martha Brae but its size and location raised doubts as to its suitability as a permanent parish capital. It was felt that since Trelawny had a sea-coast it needed a seaport for its chief town. Falmouth was consequently named the second capital. Falmouth was established in 1790, at a time when sugar was booming. When sugar declined so did Falmouth.

In its grand days, the town supported many businesses and maintained more than one weekly newspaper. Falmouth was once described as one of the busiest port on the north coast. It was the port from which sugar was shipped and where important goods needed by the estates in the interior were landed. The advent of steamships saw Falmouth’s former sea traffic being diverted to ports which could accommodate these larger ships. Consequently, by 1890 Falmouth was practically a ghost town.

Today the population of Falmouth is approximately 10,000 persons. In the government’s attempt to revive Falmouth, a new Pier was opened in March 2011 to facilitate cruise ships. The town is now embracing a new role as the place to invest. Tourism Minister Ed Bartlett postulated that Falmouth which has already received 30,000 visitors following the opening of the Pier, now qualifies as a tourism resort area. Falmouth is known for it’s reputation of being a safe haven with tranquil and peaceful environs. It often attracts

individuals who often migrate there to enjoy the peaceful and serene environment. Developers are gravitating to Trelawny, constructing several gated communities with price points ranging from J$7M-J$15M.
