Founder of Jamaica Homes
Dean Jones is a senior management professional and digital innovator whose work bridges Jamaica and
the wider world. As founder of Jamaica Homes, he brings over twenty years of experience in realty,
construction, and technology to guiding returning residents and investors as they find their place back
home.
With advanced degrees in Building Surveying, Communications and Design, and as a Chartered Builder,
Project Manager, licensed Realtor®-Associate and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building (FCIOB),
Dean understands both the structure of buildings and the deeper structure of people’s dreams. His
career has spanned senior leadership in Europe, where he led business transformation, digital
transformation and major multi-million-pound developmental change programmes and projects —
lessons that showed him property is never just bricks and mortar, but identity, belonging, and vision.
As a former Executive Director of Strategic Projects at Cranfield University & Associate Director for the
Palace of Westminster Security Programme after the 2017 London Bridge attack, Dean brings experience
from both overseas life and Jamaican reality. This guide blends expertise in finance, construction, and
property law with empathy for the human side of returning home. Dean knows the journey isn’t always
easy, but with preparation and knowledge, homecoming can be a bold step, not a leap into uncertainty.
Dean also shares family roots with the late Gregory Isaacs, the “Cool Ruler,” whose calm assurance
mirrors the steady way he handles complex deals.
Dean started off by building some properties in Jamaica, gaining first-hand experience of what it takes to
turn land and vision into lasting homes. In 2021, he built on that foundation by launching Jamaica
Homes — a trustworthy, tech-forward platform later featured in the Jamaica Observer.
Moving home should bring confidence, not confusion — or as Jamaicans say,
“Sure as de sun rise, truth cyaan hide.”
From Kingston to the coasts and through the island’s parishes, Dean has work
spans across residential, luxury, agricultural, and commercial markets, tailoring
his expertise to both local needs and global buyers. Known for simplifying even
the most complex transactions, he ensures due diligence while reminding clients
with a smile: “At least in Jamaica, the sunshine is free.”
Welcome to the journey — with someone who has walked it, built
through it, and designed tools to make it easier for you.
