Services
Three ways VFR gets you there
Relocation guidance
Help planning the move, not just the purchase. Miguel connects you to trusted specialists in visas and residency, healthcare and schooling, and assists with shipping household goods and day-one logistics, from a guide who has done it.
Buyer qualification
Help getting qualified before you fall in love. Miguel connects you to the cross-border lenders and specialists who actually fund Mexico purchases, so your budget comes from real underwriting, not guesswork.
Investment-property sourcing
Guidance on what tends to rent, hold value, and cash-flow. Miguel sources listings that fit your goals and introduces you to property managers across Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit.
Markets
Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and beyond
The Puerto Vallarta–Bahía de Banderas metro is home to hundreds of thousands of people, with a large U.S. and Canadian community living here year-round or part-time. Mexico's 2020 census counted about 6,080 U.S.-born residents in this metro area alone, and that figure does not fully include seasonal snowbirds. PVR airport flies nonstop to dozens of US cities, and the area's private hospitals are modern, English-friendly and far more affordable than most US out-of-pocket costs.
- 20 min. Nuevo Vallarta: resorts, golf and marina, the first beach corridor north of PVR.
- 40 min. Sayulita and Punta de Mita: bohemian surf town and ultra-luxury peninsula, both about 40–50 minutes up the coast.
- all MX Beyond the bay, Miguel covers every Mexican market through his eXp referral network.

Credentialed on both sides
TREC-licensed in Texas, AMPI-certified in Mexico, and bilingual end to end.
