RE/MAX Elite Realty to host inaugural expo and conference
RE/MAX JAMAICA is to host its inaugural real estate expo and conference April 14-16 at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in Kingston. Billed as a “knowledge forum” the event will see thousands of real estate professionals interacting with partners, investors and the public and feature presentations by local and international experts in the field.
RE/MAX Elite Realty & REMAX Jamaica are also poised to launch a series of podcasts and a magazine, both designed to keep the public abreast of developments within RE/MAX and generally, in the world of real estate to help persons make informed decisions when purchasing property.
As Jamaica’s building landscape changes rapidly and, with it, the demands of current and potential property owners, Roger Williams, interim Spectrum Group CEO, noted in a release that,
“The response from realty companies has to be swift and proactive to keep pace with new trends and developments.” Spectrum Group acquired RE/MAX Elite Realty and REMAX Jamaica two years ago.
The resulting entity, RE/MAX, is not just “talking the talk” but has been steering a “renaissance” in the industry post-COVID, in tune with an unprecedented growth in construction and property development at every level, the release noted further.
RE/MAX, widely acknowledged as a leading expert in the real estate industry, is itself celebrating impressive growth with an increase from two offices in Kingston and Montego Bay when it was acquired by the Spectrum Group to now six offices (i.e.. a 200 per cent increase islandwide).
Its team of realtor associates has more than doubled in just under two years too, from 43 to 90 (or a 110 per cent increase).
Many of these new experienced realtors were also previously associated with several other local and international brokerage houses across Jamaica.
“The future of the real estate industry is very much changing in tune with modern trends. Buyers are much more aware of the value of sustainable living spaces, techsavvy homes, hybrid home/ office models and price. These are some of the trends driving property purchase today and our experienced and knowledgeable team is well aware,” Williams said.
“Real estate is our business and we are intent on operating in an ethical and responsible fashion. We want to ensure that Jamaica grows in an environmentally sustainable way and that property owners reap the maximum benefits of their hard-earned money. So we are committed to educating and informing everyone along the chain and we are investing heavily in that regard,”Williams expanded.
