My husband and I have been Investing In Jamaica for 10+ years with the goal of moving to Jamaica full time in the future. We have experience in commercial and residential real estate.
We purchased our first home in Jamaica in 2015 in Ocho Rios. We were so thrilled with our investment and the possibility of making passive income before we retire that we purchased our second home in Trelawny in 2021.
We accomplished all of this while living in the U.S. and therefore bring a unique perspective on how to purchase properties in Jamaica while living abroad.
We have successfully setup our home near Ocho Rios as a thriving Airbnb property that more than pays for itself!

Investing and/or buying property can be challenging enough, doing so in a different country – whose customs, regulations are practices differ from your own is even more so. Finding Jessica Martin was therefore a Godsend when we wanted to invest in property in Jamaica. It’s an island that we love but visiting the place and purchasing a vacation home there are two very different experiences entirely. Jessica has guided us through this process and employing her services was the best thing my husband and I have ever done. She has provided us with so much practical advice and led us through the minefield of information we were presented with. In addition, Jessica’s contacts in Jamaica were extremely useful -from developers to attorneys – and we were able to benefit from trusting her judgement. Jessica provided a wealth of information about the island, new developments and the best areas to buy. We eventually settled for a gated community development and our sale is proceeding. Thanks to Jessica we had the confidence to go ahead and purchase a vacation home in Jamaica. She has treaded this path before us and certainly knows what eventualities to prepare for and what the pitfalls could be. Her advice was invaluable and I wouldn’t hesitate to give her services my recommendation. If you’re investing in Jamaica it helps to have Jessica.

My husband and I have been exploring the idea of purchasing a 2nd home in Jamaica for retirement, but with the intention of renting as an Airbnb whilst empty. During my research, I came across Jess’ YouTube video and was pleased to see that we were not alone in our venture. The videos were very informative & fun, covering the end-to-end process, with lessons learnt along the journey. There was also contact information, if you wanted further information. I decided to contact Jess, and she responded promptly and was so friendly and helpful. She alleviated any concerns around running an Airbnb remotely. Her experience is invaluable, and she was very open and willing to share details of the suppliers she uses. I would definitely recommend Jess services. She is very honest and down to earth – detailing the current climate. She is willing to go that extra mile to help with any enquiries that you may have. I am now in the application process of purchasing the property we desire, but wouldn’t be where we are without Jess!

I came across Jess’s YouTube channel “SideHustleMama” in December. She was speaking about her journey in real estate and how she got started, which I found very informative because I’m also on a similar path. I reached out to her on YouTube and within a couple of hours Jess responded to my questions with detailed information. In addition, Jess offered her personal email to assist me further. With that being said, she was willing to share her experience, information and the process to purchase real estate in Jamaica.
