With limited time and the objective of finding an affordable condominium in Manzanillo that allowed pets, my husband Richard and I flew into Manzanillo.  Candy King had provided a list of hotels in different price ranges, so we easily found a charming, reasonably priced home base.  In less than a week, she had shown us over thirty condos and we found and bought just what we had hoped for.  Candy is resourceful, honest and a delight to work with.  She gets the job done!

Candy:
 
Our dream for a long time had been to retire to a community outside of the US, one with beautiful water views, coast line, skyline and character. We also wanted a community that was more than just a tourist town and one that was safe and friendly. Our search took us to many places and when we happened onto Manzanillo we knew we had found our retirement community, but for our dream to be complete we needed a real estate agent.

We did not know one person or contact in Manzanillo when we booked our hotel room with Lisa at Hotel La Posada. When Lisa learned that the sole purpose of our trip was to buy a home for our retirements, she recommended "Candy King." You promptly answered our emails and based on our preliminary requirements, you asked us all of the right questions. We could tell that you were focusing in on what we really wanted.

Because our booking conflicted with your trip to the States, you introduced us to your associate, Hugo, who showed us properties, until you returned. Just like you, Hugo was very accommodating and patient with us. We are extremely fortunate to have you as our real estate agent and friend.

Thank you for helping us complete our dream.

I recently purchased a property in Manzanillo using the service of Realtor, Mrs. Candy King of Coldwell Banker Bienes Raíces . She found me the perfect condominium in my price range, and my confidence in her knowledge, professionalism and integrity made buying real estate in a foreign country less daunting. Thanks again Candy.

Sincerely, Bonnie Rose

Hi Candy:

We just wanted to thank you for your services in selling Lot B-25 for us.

Not only was the sale handled professionally, we were amazed at how expeditiously the paperwork was completed. Having dealt with real estate in Mexico before, we are well aware of how slow some of these transactions can be.

Thank you for a job well done. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone wishing to use a real estate agent here in Manzanillo.

Sincerely, Tony & Glenna

Sometimes buying real estate in Mexico gets real complicated. Buying our first unit in Manzanillo turned out to be a real challenge. For months we worked through all the twists and turns with Candy, and finally everything came together.

After about three years we decided to buy a second unit. We went back to Candy because of her extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods and complexes in the area. She listened to our "wants" and "needs" and showed us many great properties. We had all learned a lot from the first experience. So, buying the second unit went very smoothly. Amazingly well.

Dear Candy,

When Bon and I remember back to when we first met you at the Sierra Madre condos the first thing that struck us about you was your calmness and relaxed way you took us through the process of buying in Mexico.  We were fortunate to have at that time our sons and daughter-in-law with us and you answered all the questions about "buying in Mexico" with thoroughness and professionalism.  

As you have lived in the US and knowing how buying and selling was going to be different for us in Mexico you shared with us your experiences and how the process worked.  Even after we left and returned home you were in constant touch with us re the legal process and how that was evolving. 

We felt safe in your hands because of your professional handling of the buying of our condo which we are still excited to own.  Your knowledge of the area and your personal involvement in the community of Manzanillo gives us the confidence to highly recommend you to anyone that wants to buy in Manzanillo.

We first met Candy over a year ago when we began our search for just the right place in Manzanillo.

Candy took us out showing us great houses all over town, until we found the place we knew we would be the happiest. She knew what we wanted because we had been communicating via email from California. She listened, she searched, and she knew her market and the facts on all the homes she showed us. Not only did Candy help us find a home we loved, she made sure that our paperwork was all explained to us, helped us to negotiate details and even helped us do some local banking so we could make our deposit.  She was even able to help us divert a shipping disaster by referring us to a qualified internationally mover!

But Candy doesn't stop there...its a lovely thing she customarily does, and she'll be all kinds of humble about it if you mention it, but she makes sure that when you arrive you feel welcome.  We're not talking wine & fruit basket here...we're talking about making sure we met people, lots of people. She helped us feel like we were part of the community and her efforts have made all the difference when it came to getting settled because she knows the people to contact for all needs in the area. 

Candy does lots of wonderful things in our community and is held in the highest esteem and in great affection by us all because she's honest, smart and really cares enough to be sure everyone is happy and makes the best deal possible.  We feel fortunate to call her a friend and refer everyone to her for their real estate needs.
