Veteran Sales Agent Alfred Melchiorre: Doing more with less

Is it possible? Depends on who you ask and where they live.

I’ll bet if you ask one of the 1.5 million Americans that live in Mexico that answer would be a resounding, YES!

Has it been a dream of yours to walk to the beach everyday?

Now a days in the Puerto Vallarta / Punta de Mita corridor you can live like a prince for under two thousand dollars a month.

Maybe walking on the beach is not your thing, still you can buy a condo for under $200,000 dollars with great views and watch the passers-by.

What’s the catch? You have to come and see for yourself, first hand.

This Pacific Mexican stretch of coastline is rich and diverse with opportunities in all price ranges.

Our shire starts as far South as Manzanillo, then North to Barra de Navidad, Tamarindo, Costa Careyes, Costa Alegre, Cabo Corrientes, then inside the Bay of Banderas from Yelapa toward Puerto Vallarta including Quimixto, Boca de Tomatlan, Mismaloya, Garza Blanca and the famous neighborhood called Conchas Chinas…where residential development of upscale single family homes in Puerto Vallarta began.

From the downtown Puerto Vallarta hotel zone, hotels and condo towers line the beaches until Marina Vallarta.

Across the state line between Jalisco and Nayarit begins the Riviera Nayarit, beggining with and featuring Nuevo Vallarta, then North to Bucerias, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle (where an amazing new Marina just opened).

Here begins the Punta de Mita peninsula, where the real estate gets pricey because of the Punta Mita Resort featuring a Four Seasons Resort and the brand new St. Regis Resort which share two Jack Nicklaus golf courses and some of the best golf in Mexico.

North of Punta de Mita is the massive government funded, multi-development zone called Litibu, then the on to the trendy surf town of Sayulita, the quiet and cultured San Pancho.

Go further North to the towns of Lo de Marcos, Rincon de Guayabitos, Chacala, all the way to San Blas, you will find your open range of opportunities that are still only beginning to be revealed.Be sure to ask a professional real estate agent for advice and representation. Just like any occupation or hobby, we have those who are in it part time or for something to do. You do not want to invest in property in a foreign country using a hobbyist.

An experienced AMPI member local to the area is your best bet when purchasing a home or condo here along the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

The Mexican Association of Professional Realtors (AMPI) is a nation wide organization that is recognized by the National Association of Realtors in the USA.

Schooling, ethics and knowledge are just a part of what we profess. This is what it means to be a professional. To profess that you know what you are doing and pass that knowledge and information on to the investor.

You need representation. Why?

The listing agent is inherently obligated to the seller.

As a Certified International Property Specialist and the only affiliated Accredited Buyers Representative in the Puerto Vallarta / Punta de Mita region I give you with 20 years of experience in Mexico.

You need and deserve objective information with learned insight from any real estate professional, but in a foreign country, understanding the context of culture, customs, history, relationships and legal minutiae can be overwhelming if not elusive.

Does your agent speak, read and write Spanish?
There many agents here that don’t. They say they don’t have to.

What?

Your representative should have a great knowledge of the area and that includes speaking Spanish.

Imigration

Where the American and Canadian Consulates might be a great help to you, or the best medical care may set you at ease one day Etc, etc.

You need to know what an FM-3, FM-2 and FM-T are. These are immigraton permits and your rep needs to know the advantages and disadvantages and the differences of having one or the other.

Depending which document you have affects your capital gains taxes. These documents will serve you well when it comes time to sell. Get your advice from a pro, someone who does this full time and doesn’t go home in the summer.

It’s your money. Do more for less.

It’s your Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita.

It’s your walk on the beach.
