Buying a new home in downtown Cozumel.

You’re in a foreign country where they speak a foreign language and you want to buy property; this would normally be the most daunting experience a person could undertake. Not so with Karen and her team!
Ali and I have been blown away by the professionalism, trustworthiness, expertise, generosity, patience and so much more that we experienced with Karen. They went far beyond what anyone would expect from a realtor. Details and procedures were explained timorously and thoroughly so that all parties were clear on the fine print at all times.
With our funds having to come via another country it took time but Karen kept the process calm and smooth sailing.
If I could find a million words to express our gratitude to you Karen I would. We love our little house on the perfect Island called Cozumel in Mexico. We are truly blessed and thankful.
If anyone is seeking a realtor there is only one on the Island qualified enough to make your dream a reality.
From Ali and me we wish you all the greatest success as you do so truly deserve it. Thank you once more for our perfect little house that was made possible by you. We will always hold you in our hearts with fondness.

Buying a 3 bedroom condo in Las Ventanas Cozumel

Following a negative experience with another island realtor we were introduced to Karen in October of 2016.
Our journey to Cozumel was a roller coaster ride including an unexpected medical diagnosis, two rejected offers, and a complete change of mind regarding the type of property that we desired. Karen provided the necessary information in a timely fashion to help guide our decision making.
There was never any pressure to move in one direction or another, just an abundance of insight to assist us along the way. The purchase of property is quite an endeavor in your own country, let alone a purchase abroad.
From step one, through closing and beyond, we never felt we were acting alone. Karen and her team helped us to feel confident throughout the process, minimizing the risk and maximizing the reward.
We were always made to feel that our happiness was important. Questions posed helped to guide us through the process and zero in on what would truly make us happy.
They did not want us to settle on something that we would not love in the end. Though the adventure took a little longer than we expected, it was well worth the wait.
Patience was certainly the key in this journey, which was fully supported and encouraged by Karen. There is a great sense of pride that Karen takes in the process and that, ultimately, made all the difference.  We highly recommend Karen or all your Cozumel real estate needs.

Buying a 2 bedroom home downtown Cozumel 

After renting for several months in Cozumel we decided it was time to look around to buy our own place.
I did some research and found that Karen had been recommended by several ex-pats as well as a friend of ours.
We were not dissapointed!
I gave Karen a list of houses that we wanted to see and she made arrangements at all of them for us to visit them that week.
She was always punctual when she picked us up and informative about the properties as well as the process of buying a house in Mexico.
We ended up loving the very last house she showed us and put an offer in the following day. She came over the day after the offer was presented to let us know our offer had been accepted and explained the closing process.

We had a few glitches while waiting to close, but Karen kept us apprised of the status the entire time. We ended up closing on time (which from what I understand is not always the case in Mexico!).

Karen was also helpful in giving us information once we moved in to facilitate the name changes for all of the necessary entities.
If you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, no “beat around the bush” realtor, we would highly recommend Karen!

Buying a 3 bedroom condo in Las Ventanas Cozumel

I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you how much we appreciate your help in our search for a condo in Cozumel. I’ve wanted to find something in Cozumel for many years, but dreaded the complexities of buying something in a foreign country. You made that process totally pain free. Plus, I told you my must haves up front and you came through with the perfect home for us the first day. Your attention to detail, work ethic, loyalty to your client, honesty, and availability has made this a very smooth transition. Best of all, Pam and I consider you and your husband, Ricardo, our great friends in Cozumel! And by the way, though I learned of this after we first met, it means a lot to me that you and Ricardo give back to the island so much. Your involvement with collecting Christmas toys and school supplies for the kids in Cozumel, your collection efforts for medical services and prescriptions for the less fortunate and even your participation in “Realtors Against Graffiti” are very important to me and makes me proud to be a new resident of the paradise that is Cozumel! 

As it turned out, the ownership of the unit was somewhat convoluted and the transaction involved multiple parties, two foreign interests, a US LLC transaction and a variety of local administrative details that would take very careful navigation to complete cleanly and correctly.

Karen worked through all the details with finesse and humor and represented all interests with integrity and completeness.

They made sure that everything was correctly filed, notarized, corrected and that ownership was properly conveyed.

The devil is in the details and Mexican real estate has many obscure details that you don’t want to risk leaving to chance.

I highly recommend Karen!
