"I´m glad I found that site. Very Glad! That site is what should be required reading. Yes, I do believe those women wrote their profiles and I now believe other profiles on other sites are edited. Hat´s off to Jamie for letting these women express their true selves."

"I came across this agency not too long ago as well. Not only a good read, but this is one of the better-designed web sites I have come across. I like their approach and ideas."

"I agree. He also seems very open. He provides a picture of his wife and him and his phone number in Barranquilla. Maybe he is the second generation of agency owners who, after being mistreated by the first generation, a few of them rather nasty old gringos, are intent on providing customer service and treating people fairly. Maybe life will become easier for future gringos seeking wives in Latin America. We shall see."

"http://www.latin-wife.com/faq.asp is a good read for newbies."

"It gives typical agency BS in green, including some direct quotes from agency websites, and his responses in red. This guy has obviously been through the Marriage Agency Meat Grinder like some of us here who have been around for a while."

"Jamie has the agency in Barranquilla. His posts here have won him lots of admirers and future clients. He answered very effectively."

"Disorganized books? That is no accident. That was done for a reason. I think you understand. On the flip side if you go to Jamie´s website there is a search engine. Truly a sign of an honest agency."

"International Introductions / Latin-wife.com / Jamie´s Kid-in-a-Candy-Store. I was in heaven. Each one was more beautiful than the last. Per date rate is economical and flexible. Having the first date at your hotel can be extremely convenient because you can clean up and stay clean and cool before the critical first date. Jamie allows the chicas to review your profile before accepting, thus eliminating a lot of rejection, no-shows and awkward moments. Most if not all of my dates showed up and on time!!! All of my first dates were interesting."

"Those are the most gringo friendly working hours I have ever seen. Anyone using an agency with more restricted hours can relate. Atta boy!"

"I´ve witnessed Jamie in action and can verify he is the real deal and if I were looking to get serious, I would employ Jamie without hesitation and I consider him the best choice on the north coast."

"Who are some of the other more reputable agencies for Barranquilla besides the obvious being Jamie´s agency? “Latin Wife”? "

"If you want a no- nonsense agency without all the frills, then Jamie´s Latin-Wife.com is your best bet."

"Is the second- best agency in Colombia, behind Jaime´s."

"I have used International Introductions on a few occasions. My impression is that Jaime is a very responsive owner. His personal tour Intro services are expensive, but if you´re serious about meeting a mate I think it´s worth it."

"I get the impression that Jamie´s place seems like the place to go if a Gringo is seriously considering a wife, not just dating while on vacation. I liked his no BS approach in his posts. Unfortunately he posts more on Plant-Love than here."

"I singled out Jamie´s agency in Barranquilla. I highlighted it as an agency that (everyone agreed) gave spectacular service. Also, my best friend was an enthusiastic married former client."

"Jamie´s place has gotten very good reviews on GringoTalk. It´s on a very short list of recommended agencies."

"As someone with global business experience and expectations consistent with this Jamie appears to be your best chance at satisfactory service."

"As many others have basically stated you cannot go wrong using Jamie´s service."

“if it´s a Colombian wife that you´re most interested in, then you can´t do much better than Latin-Wife.com.”

Hello. I am the owner of International Introductions and I was clued in that my website was referenced on this chat board. I appreciate some of the positive observations and good words and I thought I would clarify a few points. I have never been mistreated by any of the other marriage agencies; I met with success from the very start. My experience with other marriage agencies came from research. I used their services, talked to past customers, dated their women and read between the lines. While their words were inaccurate and their services inadequate I was only experimenting and did not have to suffer the emotional and financial repercussions as others might have. I went into this business only by accident. I saw the glaring deceptions from the other agencies and realized that there was a need and demand that should be properly satisfied. To clarify, I am not the author of the quote “Most of the time, writing to the women does not work.” This is a quote from another marriage agency telling you that writing doesn´t work, yet sells you addresses to write to the girl. This seems hilariously hypocritical. Writing does work. The time and effort a woman places on corresponding to you tells you a lot of her true interest and feelings. All you men know that Latin women are very emotional, and it shows in their writing. If you are not getting frequent and poignant letters from your interest before and after your visit then you have just been provided with a very clear indicator of her true lack of passion for you. I experience many couples who fall in love solely from letter writing and phone calls. While one could find exceptions, letter writing is meaningful and yes, of course the expectation of a visit must be present. One final clarification: XXXX mentions that my prices are high. This is not the case. I provide a variety of prices from other agencies so one can see a price comparison. I provide much more value and personal attention than the other marriage agencies. I am not going to highlight those differences, but if one does a real comparison they can see the added benefits. While I am not a discount shop, I do provide competitive prices with better service. For those who want to compromise the significance of finding the right wife under the appropriate conditions, there are many other agencies willing to accommodate such compromises. One gets what he pays for at my service and unfortunately, at the other agencies, you often don't get what you pay for. I will let the pictures tell you the story. The left website is mine. Thanks for your time. Jamie

The above example was posted on the Planet Love forum in September of 2003 showing the same Latin woman on five different websites. On International Introduction (latin-wife.com) she showed “Engaged” in May of 2003. Four months later she was still showing as available on four of the largest Colombian marriage agencies. And while Sol Maria is happily married in California, her Barranquilla address 16 months later as of August 20 2004 continues to be sold by all of the following marriage agencies:

FAQ
 

You need to speak to Jim (runs an anti-scam site). He has you on his refused list and I see no reason. Why did you refuse to be listed?

Not All Anti-Scam Sites Are Objective or For That Matter Run by Adults

Special Us

I was on Jim´s Gold list. Jim was having a dispute with an owner of a forum. I did not support Jim´s attacks and requested that he remove me from his website in March, 2007:

Hello Jim
I have been reviewing some of the exchanges and comments you have made of Dan at Planet-Love.com. While I don´t know or care to follow any of what may or may not be true of Russian agencies my experience and opinion of Dan is counter to everything you have been saying about him. While you say your reviews and comments are not personal they certainly come off that way. I think it would be best for you to rethink and retract the negative comments you have made against Dan. If you are unable to reach a cordial and professional agreement with him I choose not to be listed on your site and would want any mention of International Introductions to be excluded from you Gold list or other favorable listings. My wish is that a mutual accord is reached between the two of you. If not I want you to understand I am in full support of Dan.

International Introductions

Jim then listed a new category on his website especially for us: These are the agencies/sites that refused to be on my sites (I would not use them):
International Introductions (Latin Wife)
Unfortunately for those on Jim´s Black list, they have to stay exactly where they are.
