What Jamie's Customers Say
"When I came to Mexico I knew one day I would be looking to purchase a home. I also realized that the process of buying a home was very different than in Canada. I had read many things about purchasing property in Mexico but I seemed none the wiser. When the time came, I approached Jamie Coates to help me. I had many many questions, which Jamie capably answered, and assured me that the process at times was slow but that was not that onerous if you were aware of the proper procedures, which Jamie was. I have no hesitation in recommending Jamie to be your agent."
John Rayner, retiree from Canada
"Jamie Coates was recommended to us from friends and I, in turn, feel extremely comfortable recommending him as a perfect agent to assist anyone in their search for real estate in Puerto Vallarta. Once we made the decision to purchase, Jamie was very open to exploring all areas and options. He was patient in exposing us to different locations and explaining all we needed to know about making a purchase in Mexico. Jamie is not a high pressure sales person. We felt great comfort in his honesty and commitment to us. Jamie was an integral part of making what could have been a stressful experience very exciting and pleasant."
Rhonda Angelo, vacation home buyer
"I have dealt with quite a few real estate agents over the years on four different continents. Jamie is by far one of the best I have worked with. He kept the process rolling smoothly and was honest and upfront in his communications. He represented my interests and was always on my side during the process. He has a good understanding of the local market and Mexican real estate processes. I enjoyed working together with him and would not hesitate to use his services again."
Joe Lobbato, international investor
"Jamie Coates represented my living desires when I was seeking a one bedroom condo. We went to several places and came back to my current home which I bought once a bid was secured. Jamie helped me diligently with the paperwork of each step for a first time buyer. He knew the process forward and back and he guided me through it all with courtesy and intelligence. I would recommend him as I already have to a number of friends looking for a place in Puerto Vallarta Paraiso."
