Janine was born and educated in England, graduating from Chesterfield College of Art and Design in 1970.

Her yearning to travel and experience other cultures and people started early; at age 8, her first introduction was an extended family trip to northern France. At 14, she was an exchange student in the mountains of southern France. This was followed by many visits to other European countries as a teenager and young adult. After a year of working for the British Ministry of Defense, she moved to Colorado, where she raised two boys while leading an active and athletic life enjoying the skiing in Colorado and scuba diving in the Caribbean.

The pull of a tropical climate, the strong desire to live in a different culture and a passion for scuba diving was strongly embedded and began to infect her new husband, so during a vacation on Roatan, they looked at property, bought a piece of land and moved to Roatan, within 3 months. That was a over a decade ago, and during that time, Janine’s creative spirit allowed her to build a property management company and learn about the real estate business on Roatan.

Four years ago, International Living magazine asked her to open an office in Honduras, which offered the opportunity for extensive travel throughout Honduras, as well as travel to other countries giving presentations to large groups of people interested in investing or moving overseas. She wrote extensively for the magazine and now for Caribbean Properties magazine, which is an e-zine. Always with her finger on the pulse of who’s who and the real estate climate in Honduras, Janine is now an agent with Roatan Realty, using her decade of experience in Honduras and knowledge of the business to help people realize their dreams and build futures.
