The viewing has finally begun at a luxurious Jamaican property. The house has everything a prospective buyer could want: spacious interiors, modern finishes, a swimming pool and beautiful surroundings.
But something is wrong.
The two gentlemen appear far more interested in the attractive Jamaican real estate agent than the property she is trying to sell.
As she gestures towards the swimming pool, neither man seems particularly concerned about the asking price, the bedrooms or the property’s features.
The agent’s expression says everything. She knows exactly where their attention has wandered.
Eyes on the Agent, Not the Property: Two prospective buyers arrive to view a luxury Jamaican home, but their attention appears to be focused on the real estate agent rather than the house. The humorous illustration highlights a serious concern about professional boundaries, inappropriate attention and the challenges facing women in Jamaica's property industry. Illustration: Jamaica Homes.
Behind the humour lies a serious issue facing some Jamaican real estate professionals: the difficulty of distinguishing genuine property enquiries from unwanted personal attention.
The house is available for viewing. The agent is not.
