My wife and I met Catherine about a year ago through my son and his wife who own a splendid Rancho in Punta Mita. Our requirements were somewhat more modest –– a two or three bedroom apartment in an area with easy communication and transportation. We advised Catherine that, while we wanted something not too far from the beach, we are city type people and like the hustle bustle of a town rather than a more remote location. One SINE QUA NON was a great view. Our New York apartment on the 26th floor overlooks all of southern Manhattan, and we wanted something with a similar local flair.
Catherine immediately suggested Puerto Vallarta. During a two-week period, she squired us around about 20 apartments both north and south of central PV and spent quite a bit of time with us in each place. We finally selected a thee bedroom, three bath apartment at Paramount Bay with a spectacular view over the bay and over the town -- particularly exciting at night. A big PLUS was the fact that we chose the model unit, fully furnished with designer quality furniture. Catherine had previously put us in touch with local furniture designers, but there was now no need for a time-consuming shopping spree.
That's when the hard part started -- price negotiations. In a sinking real-estate market, our idea of the right price varied considerably from that of the developer. Catherine hung in there with us, even when he deal seemed about to falter. She suggested several sensible compromises, and we ultimately prevailed. She was also there with us through the whole closing.
Thank you, Catherine, and thanks to the whole Pacific Boutique Properties team. They are the best.

I met Catherine a few years ago when I bought a piece of property in the Punta Mita area. She was very
pleasant and easy to work with but I didn't know how really good she was until a couple of years later
when I had to sell the property. When there were no other buyers out there she found someone that
was interested in my property.
It was a very complicated transaction involving multiple parties. I can guarantee you she earned every
penny I paid her. The transaction took longer than one year because of the difficulty of getting bank
approvals, appraisals, etc. It looked liked the deal might fall through multiple times but Catherine
was able to keep all the parties together and moving forward. As it was a very lengthy, complicated
transaction in a foriegn country it was invaluable having someone who I could trust to walk me through
although the steps. When I buy another piece of property on Mexico Catherine will definitely be my
agent. I recommend her highly. |

We decided this year to start hunting for a place in the sun and came across a couple of listings of interest to us on pacificboutiqueproperties.com. We felt the site presented properties in a favourable light and we were happy to find that our email inquiries were attended to in a very thorough and timely manner. We live hectic lives but once we arranged a time to travel to view some listings, it was a pleasant surprise to receive a follow up phone call from Catherine Martin with suggestions for accommodation, restaurants, etc.
When the time came, Catherine picked us up at the airport and delivered us to our door AFTER taking us food shopping and to the bank to exchange some funds. We felt instantly comfortable with her and have enjoyed all of our time spent in her company. She was at our disposal and listened to our needs while showing us a broad array of product on a focused schedule. She is very professional.
We also had the pleasure of meeting and working with Victoria and Rosalinda. It seems to us that Pacific Boutique Properties delivers results at all levels.
We ultimately found exactly what we were looking for in a vacation property and we are certain this would not have happened without Catherine’s care and connections. All aspects of the whole process and final transaction have been made effortless. It should be obvious that we recommend them without reservation. Thank you Catherine! |

Dear Catherine,
Jenny and I send our sincere thanks to you and the staff of Pacific Boutique Properties regarding the recent sale of our home at Punta Esmeralda in LaCruz. We especially would like to recognize our sales agent and good friend Victoria L. Pratt.
Victoria worked tirelessly for us during the sales process. She actually gave us invaluable help and advice during the building process of our home while she was a sales agent for the developer. Victoria was a strong advocate for us during a somewhat confusing and stressful period.She was always reassuring and calming.
The recent closing process was smooth and orderly and easier than I had expected.
Even before the current global financial and economic crisis, Jenny and I knew that we had made a wise decision to invest in Mexican beach front property. We also learned just how safe our purchase was. Needless to say, our return on investment far surpassed what we would have realized in the stock market even before the current downturn.
We are committed to once again owning property in Nayarit, Mexico and will rely on Pacific Boutique Properties and Victoria Pratt to find the perfect location for us. |
