I just arrived home from an interesting evening with a realtor, a lawyer and a developer from Mexico! I'm a realtor, also...so this was a walk on the wild side for me. These good people are hip-deep in a gorgeous condo development on the west coast of the country and I might have some clients interested in buying a condo or 3. This was an education session on life in that area of Mexico.
I learned so much!
I now know that the health care system in Mexico is fantastic, for the most part, and the stuff we hear constantly on the news only represents about 1% of the whole picture. The realtor's husband was in hospital for major surgery, spent 37 days there and was treated with kid gloves. She was so happy with the doctors and the nurses, and with the bill at the end of the stay.
Nothing.
Nada.
That's right, she was not billed a single peso above their own local medical insurance coverage.
We also learned a huge amount about purchasing property in Mexico...the rules and the law that guides a purchase. It's easier than I thought, but not simple as in Canada. Ther attorney that was present gave us loads of good information and advice. I think I'm actually becoming knowledgeable about this!
I have a few photos of the computer-generated interiors and an exterior front elevation drawing...I'll post a few for you!

Beautiful place! I wouldn't mind one. And how great that you get to learn about life in Mexico as well, so that you can give your clients a good picture.

Thanks, I'm happy you like them! Me, too.
This is a fun thing for me, with these condos. If you are interested, let me know and I'll get you a contact person for you in the area so you can ask about them!
