In this episode, I sat down with Margit Eder, who emigrated from Germany and has been a realtor with Valerie Levy and Associates for 11 years, specializing in Westmoreland, particularly Negril. She also has been my real estate agent in Jamaica since I moved here.

Our discussion covered many key aspects of the purchasing process, such as when a lawyer is required, what is covered by the 10% deposit, what to look for before entering the contracting stage and some of the documents needed to purchase a property in Jamaica either with cash or with financing. We also talked about how COVID has impacted the real estate market in Negril, buying trends in the area and a few things to think about when moving here, especially if you're relatively new to the area.
