Last December Xiomara and I took the CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist) course provided by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) here at the Taheima Condo Hotel and Wellness Center in Nuevo Vallarta.  The CIPS certification program is a week long course that teaches agents how to work on the world stage, to overcome cultural differences and help people buy their dream home abroad.

Now, after completing the course and complying with various other requirements, we are pleased to announce that we are both now CIPS agents serving in the Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay market.

You may recall that we congratulated Jamie and Viri last year on the occasion of their wedding.  Jamie was never one to waste much time… Last Wednesday, February 24th (one day before my own Mom’s Birthday) they welcomed their new daughter, Citlali Alejandra, into the world.  (Citlali is the Aztec word for Star according to Jamie – I was under the impression it was Nahuatl… but I could be mistaken :) ).

Either way it’s a lovely name, and a beautiful baby… she weighed in at 3.295 Kg (about 7.25 lbs) and was born at 1 in the afternoon (very considerate of her!).

So… Congratulations (again) to Jamie and Viri!  We all wish you the best with your new baby.

Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!

PacificCoastMexico Website has moved!

February 16, 2010 · Posted in Pacific Coast · Comment 

Over the past week PacificCoastMexico.com has been intermittently unavailable, or overloaded, especially during business hours.  This was caused by server issues that we were ultimately unable to resolve.  We have since moved PacificCoastMexico.com to a new faster server to prevent this from happening in the future.

If you visited us in the last week and were unable to see our website, we apologize for any inconvenience.  The new server is up and running smoothly and PacificCoastMexico.com is running faster than ever. With any luck, our performance issues are behind us and we look forward to your visits as we move forward.  If you have any questions regarding Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta, please feel free to ask, we are here to help!

Happy Holidays from Pacific Coast, Puerto Vallarta Real Estate!

Just 5 more days ’til Christmas! I just finished the office Christmas card for 2009 and decided to share it with my blog readers.

Selling real estate is a very time consuming occupation and it’s easy to forget what Christmas is all about… Especially real estate in Puerto Vallarta where the Christmas and New Years holiday is one of the busiest times of the year. And while we are thankful for the the business (especially after the last year!), it’s necessary to stop and take a breath once in while and remember what it’s all about. For me, making the Christmas card we send to our clients and friends every year is an opportunity to slow down and get into the spirit of the season. I am probably not the great designer of the 21st century, but I enjoy making the cards and I hope you enjoy them in the spirit of the holiday for which they were made – regardless of your religious or cultural beliefs… we wish you peace and prosperity now and in the coming year!

Please enjoy the card and let me know what you think about it… Happy Holidays!

On August 1st Jamie and his fiance Viridiana were married in a small ceremony on the beach in Bucerias.  Several of us from the office along with family and friends attended and had a great time helping the happy couple celebrate.
