A message from the Founder of Jamaica Homes
The tragic murder of retired nurse Loris Murray in Ocho Rios is a chilling reminder of the need for vigilance, community support, and systemic oversight, especially for returning residents and those involved in real estate, building, and construction projects in Jamaica.
As a UK national with dual citizenship, I’ve experienced challenges firsthand that required quick thinking and police intervention. These personal experiences emphasize the importance of being cautious and prepared when navigating Jamaica’s property and construction landscape.
Jamaica Homes: A Mission for Safety and Transparency
Jamaica Homes was established not as a profit-driven platform but to create a safer, more trustworthy space for property transactions. Unlike most unregulated property listing sites, our portal seeks to ensure only licensed real estate agents can list properties for sale. Oversight is key to reducing risks, and we continue to advocate for stricter regulations across the industry.
Jamaica Homes also serves as a resource hub for returnees, expats, and locals, offering information, advice, and a sense of community. By working together, we can build stronger connections and share strategies to ensure everyone’s safety.
The Role of Returning Residents
Returning residents bring enormous value to Jamaica through investments and contributions to local communities. However, there is a clear need for better support systems for these individuals. Protecting and encouraging this group should be a national priority to ensure their transition is safe and their investments are protected.
A Call to Action
Jamaica has immense potential, but safety must be a shared responsibility. Let’s commit to creating a safer environment for residents and returnees. Jamaica Homes is ready to collaborate with organizations, the government, and industry leaders to address gaps in information, improve oversight, and foster safer practices.
If you’re a returning resident or someone who shares a vision for a safer Jamaica, let’s connect. Together, we can work toward a brighter future where safety, transparency, and unity prevail.
Let us honor the memory of Loris Murray by striving for a safer Jamaica, not just in real estate, but across all aspects of life.
