When we got to Patzcuaro to seriously look at some properties, Liliana knew exactly what we were looking for, and showed us many interesting places. It is very important for us to have a representative who speaks fluent English, and she fit that bill also. Her…

Finding a professional relies on testimonials of other ex-pats and your own evaluation. Not an easy thing in any country, and definitely more difficult as an ex-pat. I’d suggest to anyone that Liliana Gonzalez Castro meets all these criteria. A realtor, an attorney, and bilingual. I’ve dealt with Liliana for over 3 years, in every way she’s been reliable…

My husband and I first came into contact with Liliana Gonzalez in the Fall of 2005 when we were looking for a rental in Patzcuaro for the month of February 2006.
