How I Ended Up in Puerto Vallarta and Why It Changed Everything

My path to Puerto Vallarta wasn't a straight line—it was a series of choices, surprises, and moments that reshaped how I see home, work, and life. Here's a bit of that story and why this place continues to change everything for me and for the people I work with.

The First Visit

I first came to Puerto Vallarta on a trip that was supposed to be a short escape. What I found was more than a vacation spot: a city that blends ocean, mountains, culture, and a community that welcomes newcomers. That first visit planted a seed—the idea that life could look different here.

From Visitor to Resident

Making the move meant leaving behind a familiar routine and stepping into the unknown. The transition wasn't always easy, but it forced me to learn the market, the legal landscape, and the real needs of buyers and sellers in the Bay of Banderas. That learning became the foundation of my work as a real estate professional.

Why Real Estate

I saw how many people arrived with dreams and questions—and how often they faced misinformation or generic advice. I wanted to offer something different: clarity, honesty, and expertise tailored to Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit. Becoming AMPI-certified and working with international and local clients allowed me to do exactly that.

What Hasn't Changed

Puerto Vallarta still feels like a place where lifestyle and business can align. The market evolves, but the fundamentals—natural beauty, a strong expat community, and growing demand for quality properties—remain. I'm here to help you navigate that market, whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring the idea of a life in the Bay.
