Living in Los Cabos: Whale Watching

Living in Los Cabos:  Whale Watching We went whale-watching last week with friends; we were lucky enough to find one who seemed to enjoy being the center of attention. Whale-watching is one of my favorite things to do in Cabo. The whales are here from roughly December to March. The tours are quite reasonable, and although they can’t guarantee you’ll see a whale it is almost impossible not to have a great time. If you go, please use one of the professional charters who will follow the rules and…See More

Living in Los Cabos: 2012 in Real Estate, Year End Report

Living in Los Cabos:  2012 in Real Estate, Year End Report At the end of each year I send out a summary of the real estate activity to my clients, neighbors and friends who generally want to keep an eye on our market. In recent years their most pressing question has been ‘is it finally turning around?’ This year I think they’re going to like the answer. The year 2012 was good for real estate in Los Cabos. I believe the indicators show that yes, although we still have a lot of work cut out for…See More

Living in Los Cabos: Safety Again

Living in Los Cabos:  Safety Again Amazingly, people are still asking if it’s safe to come to Cabo. So I thought one way to answer that would be to look at today’s news. I get two sources of local news: one is a very accurate news blog; the other is the headlines from the local TV station sent as a digest every morning. So let’s see what stories I read with my morning coffee today… The news blog, Colectivo Pericú, is done by a group of independent journalists from throughout the state and seems…See More

 Now if you’re looking for a blog on Christmas customs in Mexico you might want to keep going, I’m sure there are other writers who have done a great job on the topic. This blog is about Christmas in Los Cabos, which is a horse of entirely a different color. As usual Los Cabos has their own traditions, many borrowed from Americans…See More

Tell us about yourself, type of business, last employment
After building a vacation home in Cabo San Lucas my husband and I finally took the plunge and moved to Mexico full time about nine years ago. I am a real estate broker, the owner of Realty Executives Los Cabos and the real estate writer for Los Cabos Magazine. The best part of my work is helping others find their Mexican dream; many former clients have become good friends. Bob and I share our home with two Boston Terriers who aren't a bit spoiled. OK, just a bit spoiled. In fact, if you could ask them they'd admit to sharing THEIR home with us humans.

Living in Los Cabos: Closing Costs… Sticker Shock

Living in Los Cabos: Closing Costs… Sticker Shock

 

We’ve been talking about the more affordable properties in Cabo, and there are tons of them. But there is something not so affordable about snapping one of them up: the closing costs. Here in Mexico the buyer is responsible for all closing costs, and they can’t be financed. On large properties it’s no big deal, but as…
