    Listing Requirements & Verification Policy

    Effective: April 13, 2025

    At Jamaica Homes, we are committed to transparency, security, and trust. To maintain the integrity of our platform and protect all users, we require full documentation and a standardized process for every listing.

    New Policy Update: Free Listings via Dean Jones Only

    As of April 13, 2025, all property listings on Jamaica Homes are free for developers, sellers, and landlords.

    Listings must be submitted and verified exclusively through Dean Jones, Realtor® Associate at Coldwell Banker Jamaica Realty and Founder of Jamaica Homes.

    While there is no fee to list your property on the Jamaica Homes platform, a standard agent commission applies upon a successful sale or rental, as outlined in your signed listing agreement.

    This ensures that all listings meet professional standards and are verified before going live.
