Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 The Notary and the Real Estate Transaction: You’ve found the perfect place to purchase in Bahía de Banderas. Now, meet your Notario. Although the translation of “Notario” is “notary public,” the Notario in Latin American countries has a very different role than the notary in the United States or Canada, who authorizes signatures. By Ricky Arce
Lawyers and the Real Estate Process: That beautiful home or condo on the bay is now yours, and you’re planning to enjoy more time in Vallarta. Not meant as a dire prediction, but a practical approach, you may need to spend some time in a lawyer’s office in Mexico, as well. By Ricky Arce

Principal regions of Costa Vallarta: Over the years as Puerto Vallarta has grown and a number of communities and developments have become established both to the north and south of its downtown borders, it has become more and more apparent that there needs to be names for the regions in which the communities are situated. By Josef Kandoll W.
Why Puerto Vallarta?: While Los Cabos and Cancun seem to always be in the news as appealing Mexican destinations, Puerto Vallarta has been keeping a low profile in the background. And while the spotlight’s on them, it is actually Puerto Vallarta that has created this country’s largest resort real estate market – more Americans own homes in “PV” than in the other two cities combined! By John Youden
Real Estate Trends 2007-2008: For the past five years, we have prepared a list of trends we perceived to be taking place in the Vallarta real estate market. Information is gathered through interviews with real estate agents and developers, then compiled and reviewed for trends.
Benefits of Escrow: Despite the fact that escrows are regularly used in real estate transactions in Mexico, according to Mexican regulations, the concept of escrow has certain identity problems. The reason is that escrow services are not regulated as such under Mexican law, and are often confused with other similar concepts better known in Mexico, such as a Fideicomiso (trust) or a Depósito Condicionado (conditional deposit). By Hugo G. Cuesta
In Search of the Elusive "Perfect" Condominium...: During our nearly 20 years in Vallarta, we have lived mostly in condominiums, situated in different communities and neighborhoods around the bay. Each has been unique, offering advantages and disadvantages concerning location, layout, price and numerous other things that should be taken into consideration before moving into or purchasing a condominium.

Title Insurance: A home is usually your largest single investment. When you purchase a home, you purchase homeowner’s or hazard insurance to protect against loss from fire, theft or wind damage. By Graciela Zamudio Conde
Realizing the Dream: Making the Move: Before you embark on your idyllic new life by the bay, there are some details to consider. By Ricky Arce
Good Times Ahead?: Like a perfect storm, all the conditions are in place for a major shift in Costa Vallarta’s climate. But we’re not talking weather or bad news, rather, a “good” perfect storm. New leaders at federal, state and municipal levels with a renewed commitment to working together are looking at tourism, a major growth industry in Mexico, as a top priority. By Paco Ojeda

Mortgage Financing - Do your Homework!: Just like the old days in California the Gold Rush is on again right here in Puerto Vallarta. This time the gold is real estate equity, of which there is an abundance here after 30 years of ‘all cash’ sales, scarce financing and burgeoning real estate development. By Michael N. Read, Appraiser and Consultant
Mortgage Financing: Have you seen that perfect property on the bay, but you’re not quite prepared to cash in your US or Canadian investments to make it yours? Are you set to make the move to Puerto Vallarta, but just a bit shy of ready cash for a condo? Now you can stock up on suntan lotion, because mortgage financing has come to Mexico. By Ricky Arce
