Secure Your Future with Real Estate It has always been said that land is a good investment. This is even truer today, what with the uncertainty in the world financial markets and the need for people to find secure investments. Like most investment opportunities, however, it pays to go to the experts, and with real estate, this means going to a realtor.
Real Estate Week and Expo 2008
The Realtor’s Association of Jamaica (RAJ) was founded in 1966 by 12 concerned persons, who felt a need to promote and maintain a high standard of conduct within the industry. They also agreed that the association would provide a role in continuing education for its members and to promote its services to the public.
Schedule of events for the week:
Today, the association is the largest professional body for the real estate industry in Jamaica and has a membership of 170. All members hold either a dealer’s or salesman’s licence (or both) and through membership in the RAJ, can use the designation, ‘realtor’. The association is affiliated with the National Association of Realtor’s (NAR) in the United States of America, which has more than 1.5 million members. The RAJ has become the voice of real estate in Jamaica and facilitates the coming together of professionals, policymakers and the public in matters concerning real estate.
The Realtor’s Association of Jamaica will be hosting a Real Estate Exposition under the theme, Secure Your Future Through Real Estate, to be held at the Kingston Hilton hotel on November 23. This will be the culmination of a week of activities by the RAJ.
Church service: Sunday, November 16 at the St Andrew Parish Church at 9:45 a.m.
Luncheon and awards: Tuesday, November 18 at the Hilton Kingston Hotel Real Estate Expo: Sunday, November 23 at the Hilton Kingston Hotel, Independence Ballroom, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Bring the entire family.

How to avoid being robbed R
obbery, by definition, is to take something from an individual by direct use of, or threat of, violence – it is ‘give it up, or else’. This is different from theft, which is committed through stealth (i.e. a pickpocket) or when you are not present (i.e. burglary). It cannot be stressed enough that with robbery, the criminal has come prepared to commit violence. There is no ‘warm-up time’ for the criminal. When he walks up to you, he has already escalated it to the point where using physical violence makes sense to him. The victim seldom has a chance to ‘shift gears’ fast enough to effectively defend himself or herself. This is why it is critical for a would-be victim to recognize the developing danger signs of such an attack and, having done so, take evasive maneuvers BEFORE the attack occurs. When entering a ‘fringe area’, glance around to see if anyone is about. This especially means looking behind you. By simply glancing around in certain areas, you can reduce your
chances of being raped or robbed by 90 per cent! It takes no more than two seconds when stepping out of an elevator into a parking structure, walking into a parking lot, when approaching an ATM to assess if there is
potential trouble present. Trust your inner alarms, even if there is no apparent reason. If you don’t like the ‘vibes’ someone is giving off, don’t let that person approach you. Withdraw from the area and return to ‘the lights and the noise’. Insist on a buffer of at least five feet against people who set off your internal alarms. In wide-open fringe areas, make it fifteen. You have the right to tell someone “that’s close enough”, and it is NOT rude. retreat Never be too proud to retreat or to walk wide of someone. If you don’t like a situation, it is better to err on the side of caution. Watch to see who is watching you. An integral part of a robbery is the ‘interview’. It is during this time that the criminal selects someone and then decides if he can successfully rob that person. Go out of your way to avoid people getting out of cars in parking lots and on the street. Be careful of cars pulling up next to you and people getting out. Head for the lights and the noise. If someone tries to follow you, gets close, or is loitering in an ambush area, get to an area where there are people. Do NOT allow yourself to be surrounded There is no danger signal more obvious than being surrounded or criminals ‘splitting up’ as they approach you. If you see this developing, LEAVE! don’t argue If despite all this, a criminal still gets the drop on you, don’t stand there and argue. Although this may sound asinine, you would be amazed at how common it is. Simply stated, since most people don’t recognize the developing danger, it does

ore than 1,000 local real estate properties were showcased to thousands of Jamaican and other Caribbean nationals in the United Kingdom (UK) who attended the historic JN Real Estate Fair and seminars at the Kensington Town Hall in London. The three-day event (May 30 to June 1), was hosted by the Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS), in association with several local developers, realtors, and surveyors. “We wanted to showcase a wide variety of real estate products, and introduce Jamaicans in the Diaspora to our local professionals in this sector,” Miss Leesa Kow, JN Group Marketing, promotions &
Sales Executive, explained, “and based on attendance and interest expressed, it was successful.” She said that in addition to the team from the Society, some of the participants in the Real Estate Fair were representatives from: Archstone Real Estate; Berkeley & Spence; Can-Cara Development Limited; Coldwell Bankers Jamaica Realty; Don Juan Enterprises; Halicon Holdings Ltd.; Island Homes; the National Housing Trust; Scott’s Realty; Thomas, Forbes and Associates; and West Indies Home Contractors. Speaking at the opening event, Mr. Earl Jarrett, General Manager of JNBS, said, “We know that although many persons left Jamaica decades ago, or were born here in

And, housing development and commercial complexes are being constructed along these same corridors with both having high investor returns potential.” He also highlighted the concept of Title Insurance and advised attendees that such a policy was recently launched in Jamaica by NEM Insurance Company, a subsidiary of JNBS; noting that the policy not only speeds up the mortgage process; but, “it can also liberate dead capital…bringing value to lands that have been passed on for generations, without a proper title.” “Some people may own lands in the hills of Clarendon, on the plains of Westmoreland or along the coast of St. Thomas…without a proper title. Now, you can realise the value of your land through Title Insurance…and clear it of any impediments, through a much faster process than existed before,” he pointed out. Noting that there are some misconceptions about real estate transactions in Jamaica, he said that Jamaica

She was attending one of three free real estate seminars hosted by Jamaica National Building Society at the UK Real Estate Fair, held May 31 to June 2. National used the Real Estate Fair, and the presence of established and respected developers, realtors, surveyors and attorneys, to provide information and assist persons interested in acquiring properties to make well-informed decisions. The Real Estate Fair, including a series of seminars, was part of Jamaica National’s celebration of 20 years of operation in the UK, according to Miss Paulette Simpson, Chief Representative Officer in the Jamaica National UK Office. “More than 3,000 persons participated in the seminars,” she pointed out, confirming the high level of interest in the historic Real Estate Fair. “There were probing questions about the mortgage process,” Mrs. Wanica Purkiss, JN Mortgage Executive, said, “and the seminars sought to clarify details about the acquisition of loans.” The main subjects highlighted in the seminars were: Financing Property Purchase in Jamaica through Jamaica National, which informed attendees about the residential and mortgage operation of the JNBS; as well as, Legal Process including Conveyancing and the Pitfalls and Building a House in Jamaica.
literally ‘jump out of the bushes’ to them. Sometimes they stand there in total shock and disbelief (which works well for the mugger and, in fact, usually saves their lives). However, other times the victims don’t accurately assess the threat, nor do they have time to shift out of their normal mindset. And that means they try to stand there and argue as though this were just a rude busboy in a restaurant. There is no better way to get shot. NEVER allow yourself to be taken to a secondary location. Most muggers only want your money or valuables, if you give them to him without resistance you will often be fine. However, if a mugger tries to force you into a car or take you to another location, all bets are off.

So, you’re thinking of buying a house but uncertain about financing G
enerally, to start the process, a deposit – anywhere from five to 20 per cent of the purchase price – is paid to the vendor’s lawyer to get a sales agreement signed. The balance of funds is acquired through a mortgage from a lending institution ... Then there are the dreaded closing costs. Closing Costs To avoid the shock of closing costs, however, it is advised at the onset to add on approximately six per cent to the sale price of the property for coverage of any incidental charges. Contrary to the inference of the term, closing costs are not all paid at the closing of the deal. Closing costs include charges such as mortgage loan commitment fee, registration of the property, stamp duty, and sales agreement preparation. Some of these fees are shared between purchaser and vendor and are termed half-charges. Half charges to the purchaser (closing costs) The purchaser, is required to pay half the cost of the following fees: l Stamp duty - 4.5% of the purchase price l Registration - $5.00 per thousand
l Sales Agreement - The vendor’s lawyer determines the cost. l Valuator’s Fee Getting the mortgage
In getting a mortgage leading institutions – Victoria Mutual building Society (VMBS), Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS) and First Caribbean Building Society (FCBS) – all combine with the National Housing Trust (NHT) in providing funds for the purchase of residential property. The state-owned NHT offer loans to contributors at two per cent to eight per cent, based on the salary of the applicant, but the amount available is capped at a maximum $3.5 million per contributor. However, the joint financing mortgage programme between building societies and the NHT allows additional funds to be borrowed and the total loan repaid through the building society. Typically, residential mortgage rates are offered depending on the ownership status of the applicant. At building societies, firsttime homeowners are charged between 13.75 per cent and 14 per cent, but if an applicant already owns a home then expect to repay at least 15 per cent for the mortgage. Each building society, however, offer its

own special promotion, for example JNBS has a 100 per cent financing to women under specified circumstances. “Its only for women in special circumstances, where the sale price is at least 10 per cent less than the valuation of the property,” a JNBS representative explained. Residential mortgages are generally financed up to a maximum period of 35 years, or to maximum age of 65, and calculated taking the amount borrowed and the repayment time into consideration. In other words the older you, are the less time you’ll have to repay a mortgage and monthly payments will, therefore, be higher. Incidentally some building societies finance the purchase of a lot at a maximum 90 per cent. For the most part, however, up to 95 per cent financing is offered in Jamaican dollars for purchasing or building a home, and 70 per cent financing in other currencies at commensurate rates. For instance, at VMBS, foreign currency mortgage loans attract interest rates ranging from eight per cent to 9.5 per cent, depending on the currency.

Variable mortgage Word of caution, however, mortgage rates in Jamaica are variable, meaning they may change over time, subject to market rate and economic conditions. A variable rate mortgage (or adjustable rate) is a loan where the interest rate changes to reflect market conditions, as opposed to a fixed rate, which specify a single rate throughout the life of the mortgage. The variable method benefits and protects lenders, ensuring a profit by passing the interest rate risk on to the borrower. In a fixed-rate mortgage, the lender hedges against potential interest rate changes and the borrower benefits if the interest rate falls and loses if interest rates rise in the market. It is argued, however, that variable rate mortgages are typically less expensive than fixed-rate mortgages. Walking through the mortgage process can be tedious at times, nonetheless, armed with adequate information, the journey can become far less stressful and devoid of unpleasant surprises. Our exposé, however, outlines the salient points to consider when taking what could possibly be the most important step in your life.
