"Great stuff Carol. Thanks for your comments. It really does help my clients to hear from people that actually live in Mexico. La Paz is also very safe as you know. The stats in some of the U.S. cities are much more frightening to me! rk"

Help! Safety in Mexico

Good morning,

I hoping some of you can help me in my quest. I am working with a group of clients in California, who have asked me to supply them with testimonials from individuals (that I "do not know personally") that can testify and comment on the reality of living in Mexico, the safety issues especially. If you have a minute, can you drop me a note at rory@kizaassociates.com.

I know we all face this issue, and we have all… Continue

Sorry for my absence.

Got a scolding this morning from George and others emailed me as well..sorry for not writing more...the truth is we are just very busy, which is a good thing, but no excuse for not staying in touch.

La Paz is great! Winter weather, cool in the mornings and evenings, but sunny and warm in the day...winter winds bring out the wind surfers and kite surfers, boarding or whatever you call them! It looks like fun...I will take their word for it.

La Paz real estate is picking up,… Continue

Expat who have businesses in Mexico

Thanks George for all your hard work and continued efforts to upgrade the site...you are up earlier than I am...or maybe you just do not sleep.

The expat owned businesses group is a great idea! We can communicate with one another on just business issues, and those thinking of opening a business can get good first hand information and assistance.

As always..great job. rk

Recommending one of the new members.

I wanted to take a minute to recommend one of the new members to mms. Lucy Garcia Robles joined last week. This person is a great asset to the Development community in Mexico. She has a warm and charming spirit, a very positive outlook, and a strong work ethic. Her project will be successful, I recommend you drop her a line and hear her story and check out her project in Chapala.

At 9:58am on September 3, 2009, Reg said…: Hi Rory, Carol Billups said to contact you and see if you could help. We just finished building our house at Maravia in La Paz. We need to get insurance so we got a quote from Bancomer and when we decided to purchase it they said we had to have a bank account with them which we don't. So now we are trying to find insurance from here. We are with the Scotia bank but they don't offer insurance. Have you any suggestions? I'd appreciate any info you could give me. Thanks, Reg Barrett

At 2:04pm on August 10, 2009, Brian Blackburn said…: - sounds good - we are trying to be progressive in marketing Mexico & specifically Baja since I live in Cabo - many people say the Expo is a good idea but don't commit - they expect us to spend the $$ and bring tours here with buyers so sales will happen automatically...ain't gonna work that way!

At 1:43pm on August 10, 2009, Brian Blackburn said…: - depending on the success of the October event, we will determine what Exhibitors have an interest for another Expo in February - it has been tough getting committments for October so we want to make sure it is resondingly positive then plan for February.

At 1:07pm on August 10, 2009, Brian Blackburn said…: I suggest a general overview of the steps being taken to 'go green'...construction projects, water use, generating power, etc.
- since you are not participating as an Exhibitor, we are careful to not promote companies which are not present - thus we could post generic information with a notation that the article was provided by your company and better still, has been published.
I trust you understand and can provide literature which falls in this criteria. Thank you, Brian

At 11:36am on August 10, 2009, Brian Blackburn said…: - I believe most of the slots are set with Exhibitors and guest speakers attending the event - perhaps we could publish an article in the Media section as Green projects are an important issue for many people - do you have some information which might work for this?

At 10:07am on August 10, 2009, Cathie Smith LoCicero said…: Yes, it is! See Brian Blackburn's posting about the expo in Vancouver in October. that could be a GREAT asset for your development! check it out! warm regards, cathie
