To think two Antiguans under 30 would have defeated the odds in revolutionizing how Real Estate is sold or rented in the Caribbean Region would be simply unrealistic. Luckily Co-founders Jermaine & Monique are both alive to tell the tale of the not so easy journey into Entrepreneurship and transforming just a concept into an award-winning Caribbean Startup.

With the introduction of Antigua’s Citizenship by Investment Program. Mr. Rhudd became the youngest Licensed CIP Agent in the Country and began assisting HNWs on a path to mobility all while funding their first Venture Company, JM Ventures Inc where he sits as Chairperson.
Recognizing the unwavering duty of service to Country, Jermaine Rhudd was in 2017 appointed by the Governor General and assigned to the Ministry of Justice & Legal Affairs where he served in the capacity of Deputy Registrar of Lands in Antigua & Barbuda.
Jermaine is a proud Rotarian of 5 Years, leads the Legal aspects of Management with the Nolan Hue Inc. a Professional Development Foundation for youth, and continues to give back to his Alma Mata, the St. Joseph’s Academy, through service on the Board of Directors.
His Co-Founder Monique Sylvester qualified in Business Administration in the United States of America.
