I just bought a lot with a wonderful view of Lake Zirahuen

“I just bought a lot with a wonderful view of Lake Zirahuen. You could call it paradise. I don’t think I would have been able to find this location without the help of Liliana.

For three days, Liliana showed us all of her available properties as well as any other available properties that may have better suited our needs. When I finally settled on…

I knew I’d found what I’d been seeking

After researching Mexico on the Internet, my wife and I were interested in the Patzcuaro area as a possible retirement spot. I corresponded with real estate broker/attorney Liliana Gonzalez of Michoacan Real Estate about a June visit, and she guided me toward her American associate, Didi Rose, of Tzintzuantzan, on beautiful Lake Patzcuaro. Didi, who owns, also, a delightful B&B, said my room was waiting, and that she’d give me a complete tour of the entire area, plus a rundown of both rentals and sale properties. When she brought me…

Real Estate transactions are always stressful.

Dear Liliana, I am writing you to thank you for the wonderful job you did as my agent. Having you to help with the transaction was truly a God-send.

Zirahuén: Mexico’s Walden Pond

By Linda Breen Pierce When I first set eyes on the pure, crystal blue waters of Lago (lake) Zirahuén in the central highlands of Mexico, my stomach did a nose dive. How could such striking alpine beauty exist in a country known for its beaches, desserts and low lying vegetation? Lago Zirahuén, surrounded by hills forested with pine, oak and ash trees, is a little known treasure in the state of Michoacán. A 20-minute drive on a well-maintained highway blessed with gorgeous views of forest and hillsides will bring you…

A Big Step Forward in the Real Estate Industry in Mexico

By Liliana Gonzalez I am so happy, and absolutely overwhelmed with emotion! Again, I am feeling butterflies in my stomach just like I felt when I got my attorney’s license in 1979.

Morelia the Cultural Jewel in Michoacan

By Lucille Arneson When I decided to retire, I knew I wanted some kind of an adventure offering different prospects of activity. When in college, I studied French; it seemed a natural, as after all, I was an art major and in love with the French Impressionists! When I moved to California and encountered the Spanish Missions built by Friar Junipero Serra, I found another love; this time in Spanish! I had one of those “déjà vu” moments that made me think I’d been there before. It was a very…

Reflections on living with violence in Mexico

By Linda Pierce, As I write this, I hear the sound of helicopters overhead from my house 2 blocks from the main plaza in Morelia.

As Jennifer Rose opined in her blog , Morelia lost its innocence last night. We spent several hours at El Grito celebration last night, but didn´t have the stamina to…
