San Miguel de Allende Real Estate: Agave Sotheby's International Realty

"We highly recommend Holly Houston Ortiz for both buying and selling property in the San Miguel de Allende area.

We listed our home with Holly and she found a qualified buyer within 3 weeks, at 97% of our asking price!

She guided us through the negotiating and closing processes; answering our questions, and investigating options for us. She also found and helped rectify issues with our original deed, enabling us to maximize our exemptions and minimize the capital gains taxes. Holly and her team were very thorough and professional throughout the process.

Holly is very good at reading her clients and understanding their needs. She found a unique property that was a perfect match for us for both amenities and price.

For the icing on the cake, she was able to arrange a simultaneous close for the sale and purchase of these properties!

We can’t say enough good things about Holly and her team at Agave-Sotheby’s!" - Ayla and Jim D.

“When I decided to sell the El Centro home that I inherited from my mother and that had been in my family for 25 years, a trusted friend in San Miguel referred me to Cynthia Petro. There is no doubt that her expertise and guidance is why my house sold immediately. To accommodate my busy work schedule, the process had to occur long distance. Cynthia handled all the details that made the sale go smoothly for both an absentee seller and buyer. She did a great job staging the house and networking with her colleagues. She handled negotiations efficiently and tactfully. Her level of professionalism, dedication, knowledge, and patience was unparalleled. Cynthia’s sensitivity and kindness helped to ameliorate the experience of letting go of a home that had played a major part in my life. She also continued to spend time with me in my search for property outside San Miguel. I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to meet and work with Cynthia and I plan to continue our relationship. She genuinely enjoys what she does and she's works hard at it, with proven results. I highly recommend that any home buyer or seller, contact Cynthia Petro first!”- E. Palmer, Westchester County, NY

“I just bought my dream home in San Miguel de Allende and the whole process was smooth , easy and fun thanks to my agent, Crystal Calderoni. She knew exactly what I wanted, knew how to answer any questions and helped me fall in love with this magical town. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new home in SMA. She’s the best agent I’ve ever worked with.” - Hope B. 

“If you need an excellent real estate agent to help you with your move to San Miguel de Allende, I would highly recommend Rebecca Crosby. Our home was in Denver, Colorado and she shepherded us through a complicated, long distance home purchase which took several months.  During that time she helped us familiarize ourselves with San Miguel and the many procedures and regulations that we would encounter moving there.  She steered us to the right people to help with immigration, moving our belongings, getting a driver's license and buying a car, getting a bank account, tv service, etc.  She showed us where to shop for groceries, furniture, etc. and introduced us to some great restaurants.  She suggested websites and expat sites which provided us with helpful and fun information.  She even gifted us with a year of mail service that was set up and ready to go the minute we got here!  She is not only knowledgeable but very accessible and efficient, answering all email, texts, and phone calls right away.  She is personable and always ready to help.  If she doesn't know the answer to your question, she will find out and get back to you.

You can tell Rebecca really enjoys helping people buy the home that's just right for them.  She is a super positive, can-do person which was really important to us while making such a big move.  But I think one of her most important qualities is that she thinks every problem can be solved.  There was an issue with the Deed to our property and she kept us informed and worked through the legal issue to solve it so we didn't have to delay our move. Rebecca will do everything she can to help you make your move to San Miguel a smooth and positive experience.  She was a key factor in a successful move for us.“- Val K.

"I have been mulling things over the last couple of days and we have your family and the magic we all put out there to thank for our good fortune! From conception of our ideas to delivery, you and Ezra were our strength and stalwart guides during this entire process. Our two transactions were not huge compared to many of your higher priced listings, however, we were treated as if we bought and sold in the millions. Real estate is a tough business, we know. Your accessibility made us feel like we were your only clients. You were always available, reliable, efficient and sensible during our emotions of buying and selling in Mexico. True professionals with hearts of gold!

We love you, Clark Group, now and forever!"

"I recently purchased a house in San Miguel de Allende. I had the good fortune to be recommended to the agent, Crystal Calderoni. Crystal is fluent in both English and Spanish, but it is her knowledge of the market that sets her apart. Crystal only shows you homes in your price range and aggressively stays current on listings. She shepherded me through the process and made buying a home in Mexico a pleasure. Crystal's superb networking contacts led me to a renter for my property. I would recommend Crystal at Sotheby's when seeking an agent in San Miguel." - Randolph R.

"I can’t speak highly enough of the magnificent service provided by Mayte Calderon de la Barca of the Agave Sotheby’s team here in San Miguel de Allende. In addition to just making every transaction so simple for me, I was also super impressed with her commitment to getting a great deal on my behalf. I was very happy with the valuation my property received, and even happier to have actually got an offer very close to asking price within only about two weeks. From the very first discussion about selling my house right through to closing, Mayte was attentive to all our needs and kept us well informed the whole time. With service and attention to details like this it makes me wish I had another home to sell." - Warren Y.

"Rebecca Crosby was referred to me by good friends that used her services to buy a large home last year in San Miguel. They could not say enough about her professionalism and
helpfulness in helping them find a home and making the move from Denver to SMA as smoothly as
possible.
I’m delighted to say that I experienced the same over-the-top service from Rebecca and also purchased
a home with her help. What makes Rebecca stand out is that she genuinely cares for her clients. She
wants them to love their home and to love San Miguel as she does. She doesn’t miss a single detail: from
providing good maps, making sure the house is what you have specified, making sure the inspection
items are completed, and guiding you through the closing to make sure you understand each item of the
real estate transaction.
Her after closing ‘thank you’ to her clients proves that she really appreciates your business. I hope to
remain friends with Rebecca as a new resident of San Miguel de Allende."

"Thanks so much to Cynthia for making this happen —and then being a brilliant and tireless steward of the deal! You never gave up and you found solutions to all the problems. Congrats" -
