|
"No matter how long the winter, Spring is sure to follow"- Proverb.
Spring’s in the air! It’s warming up and our sunshine’s returning. Feels so good to sit on the beach and soak in the sounds of the sea. Hope you have time to enjoy some special time on the beach this month. A time of quiet reflection feeds the soul and brings joy to our day. A cocktail at sunset viewing our vibrant sky, listening to music and maybe a little dance on the beach is a perfect ending to the day. We are blessed to experience life on the beach in Rocky Point.
Happy Spring!
Grant and Judy

To Whom it May Concern:
I'm writing to recommend Mr. Grant MacKenzie as a Realtor for anyone interested in purchasing or selling property in Puerto Penasco.
My family and I worked with Grant to acquire our beachfront home in Playa Encanto. Grant made this process smooth as he provided exceptional guidance and expertise. This was our first transaction in Mexico. Grant displayed tremendous patience and understanding as we moved through the process. He made it clear our comfort with the transaction was his primary concern.
Additionally, we have been impressed with Grant's real estate knowledge and his ability to work with the other key real estate professionals in Puerto Penasco. Grant provided several important contacts to assist in our acquisition.
Grant would be a tremendous asset to any real estate transaction in Puerto Penasco and I recommend him without reservation.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Bailliere

"She knew she loved him when "home" went to being a place to being a person"- E. Leventhal.
Make time for yourselves, hold hands often. Surprise each other; find little chances everyday to show you’re grateful to be partners, to be friends, to be married.
Cherish your yesterdays. They are irreplaceable souvenirs of your journey through life. Make memories that bring smiles whenever you look back. (look back often) look forward too!
Dream together, plan together, make promises to keep. Believe in your tomorrows, because tomorrows are what forever is made of.
To make love last put each other first. That’s the way to create a beautiful life together.
Watch a sunset on our beautiful Rocky Point beach and say “I Love You” to your spouse, your child, your friend.
Grant and Judy

A. Whales are back into town!
|
|
|
During the months from January to March, these giant sea creatures migrate from the coasts of North-America with the purpose of reproducing and searching for food. It is at the beginning of each year when they allow themselves to be seen in Puerto Peñasco. In fact, the first sightings of 2019 have already begun, which makes us expect nature lovers will come and enjoy this phenomenal show.
The types of whales that can frequently be seen here include Fin Whales, which are the second largest sea animal in the world; and the Humpback Whale, which tends to be more active and has better mobility. Throughout the season, one can also enjoy dolphins that can often be observed swimming in large groups near shores.
|
|
As it’s the month of Valentine’s Day let’s remember to take care of our “hearts”.
Monitor key numbers, including your blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol, before you develop a health issue.
Limit your self to one alcoholic drink per day, the optimal amount for reducing your risk of heart disease and stroke. (It Can Be Done)
Hold the salt to keep your blood pressure in check.
Skip fast food, which can contain trans fats that raise “bad” (LDL) cholesterol levels.
Stretch to make your body-and possibly your arteries-more flexible.

While January 2019 closings were off over 2018, it is reflective of a seasonal “slow time” here at the beach. However it is interesting that we experienced significant and serious buyer activity in January and now February. I’m optimistic that we are going to enjoy strong sales in 2019.

Grant,
Geneta and I want to express our sincere thanks for your services in helping us sell our Condo in Puerto Peñasco. Your extensive experience with Mexican Real Estate laws and procedures made the process of selling far easier than we could ever have imagined. We truly appreciate your efforts to help us get the best offer possible and to reduce the costs of our sale including the capital gains taxes. We couldn't be happier with the entire process including finding us a good buyer that will appreciate our beloved property there. We would highly recommend that anyone considering selling beachfront property in Puerto Peñasco list their property with you.
Regards,
Larry & Geneta Plaster

" Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." - Anais Nin.
Thank you for being our friends and clients this past year and the years before. We look forward to 2019 as your friend and as your premiere real estate company of choice in Rocky Point. We are dedicated to being your partner, and building a legacy for all to enjoy.
What friends have brightened your paths, made you dig a little deeper, look at opportunities with the attitude of “why not” and “what if”? What friend has opened a door that you may not have opened on your own? Isn’t the beginning of a New Year the perfect time to get in touch and say “thank you”, YOU made a difference in my life this past year.

B. 4 Self-Aware Ways to Follow Through On Your Resolutions
|
|
Resolutions are challenges—chances to grow as a person . If you don’t know who you really are or understand the reason behind your goals, though, then you probably won’t stick to them.
I’ve also come to view my resolutions as reminders of how much I rely on others. Whenever I’ve failed to keep one, it’s been because I failed to see something about myself.
Don’t get me wrong: I know resolutions require personal responsibility. But seldom have I had the self-awareness to do it alone, which is key to following through.
Here are some ways I’ve learned to become more self-aware that might help you stick to your resolutions this year...

2018 Real Estate Sales were solid for Puerto Penasco with the beach communities experiencing positive growth, while Sandy Beach sales were a little softer his year, keep in mind that there has been approx. $88 million in Sandy Beach total sales during the past 2 years.
I look forward to a strong 2019 with increasing property values and shrinking inventory.

A. Mexico's Christmas Traditions.
|
|
In Mexico, Christmas is celebrated from December 12th to January 6th.
From December 16th to Christmas Eve, children often perform the 'Posada' processions or Posadas. Posada is Spanish for Inn or Lodging. There are nine Posadas. These celebrate the part of the Christmas story where Joseph and Mary looked for somewhere to stay. For the Posadas, the outside of houses are decorated with evergreens, moss and paper lanterns.
Christmas Trees are becoming more popular in Mexico, but the main/most important decoration is still the nacimiento.
In some states in Mexico children expect Santa Claus to come on December 24th. In the south of Mexico children expect presents on January 6th at Epiphany, which is known as "el Dia de los Reyes".

Grant MacKenzie found us our dream home in Las Conchas and walked us through the process of purchasing the home, which went smoothly.
We appreciated his responsiveness to our many inquires, and the generous time he spent helping us acclimate to the "Way of Life" in Puerto Penasco. Grant and the team at RE/MAX Legacy are wonderful.
