Licensed Realtor in Both Arizona & Sonora, Mexico

About Our Services

As a long time resident of Sonoita, it would be my pleasure to introduce you to the communities of  "The Mountain Empire" The histories of Patagonia, Sonoita & Elgin are as colorful as their sunsets and as rich as the ore that came from local mines.
Native Americans, Spaniards, Mexicanos, Ranchers, Vaqueros, Miners & Jesuit priests have all inhabited the land over the past five hundred years.
Less than an hour from Tucson & 35 minutes from the U.S./Mexico border. At an elevation of approximately 5000 ft for Sonoita & Elgin & 4000 ft for Patagonia, the summers are much cooler than Tucson. Significantly more rain falls as well turning the area into a verdant green during the summer months. There are several excellent Vineyards in the area. Two web sites re: SE AZ Wineries  www.sonoitawineries.com   www.arizonavinesandwines.com

As a bilingual agent that is licensed in both Arizona & Sonora, Mexico, a Certified International Property Specialist/CIPS & TRC/Transnational Referral Certified - I can assist both buyer & seller efficiently & most importantly correctly within the Mexican Republic & Internationally. I possess an intimate knowledge of Mexico having studied, worked, lived, played sports in La Republica Mexicana for many years. In addition, I am currently listing property in Chile & will have listings in more Latin American countries as time goes on. I'll be working with two Developers in Nicaragua located on the Central Pacific Coast. I spent two weeks in Nicaragua this past November & without doubt there's tremendous opportunity.

For Latin America Investment Info: www.globalpropertyguide.com/Latin-America/Mexico/property-rights-index 

Note: This info may not be up to date. e.g. Laws recently changed in Ecuador that relate to Foreigners acquiring property close to their borders & coastline.

Most significantly, as a member of several National & International Realtor Organizations, I can increase dramatically the exposure your property will receive if you are selling your Residence/Land or Commercial property in  Arizona, Mexico or Globally. Prospective buyers in the European Union, Canada, Asia, Latin America, Australia, among other countries will have access to your listing info through the various sites I utilize.

The acquisition of property within the "Zona Restringida" Restricted Zone by Foreigners is governed by Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution & Mexico's Foreign Investment Law. Please review this info on my Buyers page. In reality, the laws are very straightforward, however, the number of foreigners who unnecessarily spend exorbitant amounts of money & time acquiring & selling their property remains unacceptable. A reputable, efficient, knowledgeable, transparent team is essential that will keep you informed every step of the way throughout your transaction. This team consists of the key player in all Mexican Real Estate transactions - the "Notario"  Notarios in Mexico are highly trained Attorneys who in some States are appointed for life by the Governor and by the Executive branch of the Federal government. We work with the most efficient, transparent Notarios in Sonora & can easily locate other excellent Notarios throughout Mexico as needed. An excellent team/resources are in place to facilitate International transactions. I now work with the most professional, transparent Real Estate team in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico.  http://www.seaside-realty.net

Global Medical Insurance = Global Peace of Mind

Apart from Real Estate, I've worked in the Health/Medical Field for 30 plus years. I've seen & experienced first hand that International Medical Insurance is extremely valuable. The U.S. Dept of State "strongly urges Americans to consult with their Medical Insurance Company prior to traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas & whether it will cover Emergency Expenses such as MED EVAC services. The Social Security Medicare program DOES NOT provide coverage for Hospital or Medical costs outside the U.S."  Note: Medigap, the supplemental insurance to cover some costs not covered by Medicare, pays for some emergency care overseas - but only the first 60 days you're outside the U.S.

We provide on-site Medical staff 24/7 for Emergencies, Multilingual customer service professionals & dedicated claims administrators who process tens of thousands of claims each year from all over the World. With Global Medical Insurance you can choose any Doctor/Hospital Worldwide for Treatment. We have very affordable Medical Plans (compared to U.S. Carriers/Plans) to fit your needs whether you're living, studying, working, traveling abroad. Please see link below.
