NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sotheby's
International Realty today announced that Reside Realty Ltd. has
joined the network and will now operate as Jamaica Sotheby's
International Realty. The addition marks the brand's continued
growth in the Caribbean and comes
at a time of increased interest in secondary and resort markets.
The addition follows the brand's recent expansion into St. Kitts & Nevis and marks its
30th affiliated office in the Caribbean.
Jamaica Sotheby's International Realty is owned and operated by
Julian Dixon and Alexander Melville who bring a collective 27
years of experience to the company. The office will be
headquartered in the city of Kingston and will service the surrounding
island including St. Andrew, Montego
Bay, Ocho Rios, and
more.
"Jamaica offers a diverse
luxury lifestyle which appeals to a wide variety of buyers," said
Philip White, president and CEO,
Sotheby's International Realty. "In recent years, closed
transactions have seen steady growth and new construction is
booming on the island. The Jamaican market has historically
appreciated year-after-year with interest from domestic and
international interest in North
America, Europe,
Canada, and most recently the
Middle East, motivated by the
island's many opportunities and its tourism sector. I want to
welcome Julian and her team to the network and look forward to
working together to support the island."
"Jamaica is famous for the tag
line 'no problem' and this is true of the culture and lifestyle,"
said Dixon. "I have always admired the Sotheby's International
Realty brand and their philosophy towards client satisfaction
connects with our culture and mission. The island offers promise to
buyers seeking opportunities through business ventures, vacation
homes, retirement, and income-earning properties. Our affiliation
with Sotheby's International Realty will be the first of its kind
on the island and will bring value, excitement, and global
recognition to our market."
The office currently has several sales associates supporting the
island with plans for continued growth.
The Sotheby's International Realty® network currently has more
than 24,000 affiliated independent sales associates located in
approximately 1,000 offices in 75 countries and territories
worldwide. Jamaica Sotheby's International Realty listings are

the referral opportunities and widened exposure generated from this
source, the firm's brokers and clients will benefit from an
association with Sotheby's auction house and worldwide Sotheby's
