LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES
We’re Judy and Jack Kelly, transplanted here from Austin, Texas. We have, between us, more than 60 years customer service, management and real estate experience as real estate agents and investors both in the U.S. and Mexico. We have grown children and fantastic grandchildren who are growing bigger every time we turn around.
We have many long-time friends at Lakeside who often told us how much they enjoy the area and when we first visited in 1999, we understood why.
We moved here in 2001. We worked in real estate for Coldwell Banker Chapala Realty for two years, and then returned to Texas for a time. In early 2008, we came back here for good, ready to begin our new lives in this place we love so much.
All the same, we did our “homework,” researching the area carefully before we made our move. We will help you do this. We’ve also seen that those who research things first, and visit before making a final decision, have a much better chance of success both in buying the right property and in making the adjustment to living here.
We are almost exclusively buyer’s agents, focusing totally on the interests of the buyer. We do list properties for sale for repeat or referral customers, but we don’t actively solicit listings. Our primary focus is helping the newcomer learn about living in Mexico, choosing which local area to settle and then thru the steps of finding and closing on a property that best suits their needs and wants.
