		You&amp;#39;ll need to sit down to read about this excellent opportunity... and don&amp;#39;t even think about letting this one go.  Bucerias ocean front real estate hasn&amp;#39;t been this price in almost 4 years!  The seller&amp;#39;s have priced Condo Renee to sell and once the word is out...it&amp;#39;s gone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This older 2+2 condominium is located in the coveted low density area of north Bucerias, just to the north of Punta Plata.  This development is called Suites Malvinas and it is extremely well located one block away from some of the best restaurants Bucerias has to offer.  Did we forget to mention the SPECTACULAR Bucerias beach directly in front?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an older building but time has proven that this building is well constructed and isn&amp;#39;t going anywhere.  Condo Renee is located on the second floor of this 3 story, 6 unit condominium development.  It&amp;#39;s VERY low density so you can just enjoy your vacations...or new life.  If you are seriously looking at Bucerias, Nayarit Mexico for beach front real estate, and don&amp;#39;t have the $450,000 USD+ that other 2+2s are selling for, don&amp;#39;t wait any longer.  This condominium comes fully furnished and is turnkey! It also includes a deeded parking stall (18.24m2) and the ownership percentage of the common areas is 19.37%.  Call now because at $325,000 USD, Condo Renee won&amp;#39;t last long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;360 degree virtual tour is coming soon!

First of all, I 
had never been to Mexico before I moved here. &amp;nbsp;Did I mention that I came
 with my wife? &amp;nbsp;If you know me, you know Christie. &amp;nbsp;We have been 
together since I was 16 years old and I married her when I was 18. &amp;nbsp;Did I
 mention we have 4 children? &amp;nbsp;They were 7-12 when we moved here. &amp;nbsp;For 
the pious math&amp;nbsp;geniuses, I was 20 when our first child was born&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some who think my life must have been horrible to have just
 packed up and moved to Mexico. &amp;nbsp;This is so far from the truth! &amp;nbsp;We had a
 phenomenal home based business, a great church, an awesome church 
family (many of them have visited us here in Mexico). We had a great 
life in Canada but I knew there was more for us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the time I was a little kid, I hated winter! I&amp;rsquo;d love to say 
that hate is too strong a word but I couldn&amp;rsquo;t look you in the eye and 
say otherwise. &amp;nbsp;My feet were always cold, my hands, as were other parts 
that don&amp;rsquo;t need mentioning (but I did). &amp;nbsp;I hated waking up in the dark, 
going to work in the dark, and coming home in the dark! &amp;nbsp;We even made a 
&amp;ldquo;winter room&amp;rdquo; for me. It had a huge window with white walls and a maple 
floor. I would just lay in the sun and Christie would make the kids stay
 away until their crazy father got his sun fill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did I mention I also hate winter? &amp;nbsp;Anyways, all I would do is 
complain about how short the summer was and how cold it was all year 
round! &amp;nbsp;I must sound like a very wimpy Canadian (I am Canadian) to the 
point of being un-Canadian. I knew I wanted to live somewhere 
warm&amp;hellip;someday. &amp;nbsp;Always that &amp;ldquo;someday&amp;rdquo; thing. &amp;nbsp;I have heard SO many people
 tell me what they are going to do &amp;ldquo;someday&amp;rdquo;&amp;hellip;sorry, I am jumping ahead 
of myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;September 11, 2001 is probably one of the worst days in modern 
history. &amp;nbsp;Many lives were lost in the U.S. and, coincidently, it was 
that event that caused me to lose my job. &amp;nbsp;How does a Director of an 
Incentive and Motivation company lose his job&amp;hellip;in Red Deer, Alberta? It&amp;rsquo;s
 easy &amp;ndash; it was a family business and my name wasn&amp;rsquo;t the same as the 
owners. &amp;nbsp;They lost a ton of cash from cancelled travel groups because 
the world wimped out and temporarily let the terrorists win&amp;hellip;but I 
digress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t actually lose my job on that day. They asked me to take a 
20% cut in pay so I could keep my job. &amp;nbsp;My wife stayed at home to raise 
our kids and I was the only bread winner&amp;hellip;what could I do? &amp;nbsp;I took the 
pay cut. &amp;nbsp;Fast forward to December 31, 2001, my last day of work. &amp;nbsp;My 
parting gift was a chat with my boss (a man that I really did respect) 
telling me that this will probably be good for me. Turns out he must 
have thought being financially&amp;nbsp;devastated&amp;nbsp;would teach me a thing or two 
(he never really thought THAT, but I was mad). *As an aside, I did call 
him back a few years ago (coincidentally on his 50th birthday) to let 
him know he was right...it WAS the best thing for me!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What does this have to do with Mexico real estate? Hang on, I&amp;rsquo;m getting there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do you think this hater of the cold did to console himself? If 
you said &amp;ldquo;go ice fishing&amp;rdquo; you&amp;rsquo;d have been right. &amp;nbsp;As a kid I loved to be
 out on the ice. When you see the water from under the shack, the lake 
is like a vast aquarium for you to participate in. &amp;nbsp;I had lived in 
Sylvan Lake for 3 years and had not taken the time to ice fish (too busy
 wearing a suit at work). &amp;nbsp;I went with a buddy and we had a fantastic 
day. &amp;nbsp;I did this every day until I got the call.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On January 18th, after another great day of ice fishing (I don&amp;rsquo;t 
think I ever caught any fish) the phone rang. &amp;nbsp;It was my stepmother 
calling from B.C. She told me my dad &amp;nbsp;was dead. &amp;nbsp;I told her, &amp;ldquo;No he&amp;rsquo;s 
not!&amp;rdquo; She replied that he was. &amp;nbsp;Again I said no, almost laughing at this
 very odd joke. Christie said that she didn&amp;#39;t think my&amp;nbsp;step mom&amp;nbsp;was 
joking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here was my conundrum. &amp;nbsp;My dad said for many years that &amp;ldquo;someday&amp;rdquo; he 
was getting a sailboat and that he and Penny (my stepmother) would sail 
it from Prince Rupert and go up and down the Pacific coast. He believed 
this so much that I believed him too. &amp;nbsp;He included the kids, Christie 
and myself in his future travels -I couldn&amp;rsquo;t wait!&amp;nbsp; My dad couldn&amp;rsquo;t be 
dead&amp;hellip;but he was. He could have even had his damn boat years earlier (he 
only wanted a little one).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some of you that think, &amp;ldquo;Aha!&amp;rdquo;, that&amp;rsquo;s how he did it. He 
got an inheritance and that is how he was able to bring his wife and 4 
kids to Mexico. Wrong! My inheritance was an old turtle lamp that sits 
by by Christie&amp;rsquo;s side of the bed. The turtle lamp is a reminder of my 
dad and also the beginning of a terrible compulsion by my wife&amp;hellip;to 
collect turtles. Statues, knick knacks,&amp;nbsp;key chains, anything turtle. We 
even have 10 living turtles now (couldn&amp;rsquo;t do that in Canada).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What my dad did &lt;strong&gt;give&lt;/strong&gt; me was a kick in the pants. When he died 
it was the most terrible wonderful thing that every happened to me. He 
made me realize (at the ripe old age of 33) that we are NOT promised a 
tomorrow. Credence Clearwater Revival had a song that went &amp;ldquo;Someday 
never comes&amp;rdquo;. It was time to start living life on my terms, even though I
 was unemployed, broke, losing my &amp;ldquo;possessions&amp;rdquo; bit by bit (dang lenders
 wanted their stuff back) and had no &amp;quot;real job&amp;quot; prospects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could have felt sorry for myself but I knew I could fix this 
problem. &amp;nbsp;I made a BUNCH of money for both of my previous employers and 
now it was time to take care of my family. &amp;nbsp;I started a 
little&amp;nbsp;jewelry&amp;nbsp;business to pay the bills. Our friends were so concerned 
that they would tell Christie that they are praying so I could get a 
&amp;ldquo;real job&amp;rdquo;. I never wanted a real job again. I was happy being with my 
family all day (although it took my family some time to get used to it).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Full disclosure: My wife did NOT want to move to Mexico. After my dad
 died, I told EVERYONE that we were moving to Mexico. Christie would be 
right behind me telling them &amp;ldquo;No, we&amp;rsquo;re not!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t know how bad it was until, months later, we drove to 
Christie&amp;rsquo;s folk&amp;rsquo;s house to tell them we were moving. I won&amp;rsquo;t tell you 
everything that was said but one part that stuck out was when her mom 
said that Christie had promised we would never go to Mexico&amp;hellip;after I had 
just reminded everyone that this is all I had been telling everyone for 
almost 18 months).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Initially, Mexico wasn&amp;rsquo;t my dream, the warmth was. &amp;nbsp;I honestly 
believed I would move to California or Florida. I had been to Florida 
when I was 12 and THAT was when I promised myself that &amp;ldquo;someday&amp;rdquo; I would
 live in a place like that (although I didn&amp;rsquo;t remember that moment in 
time until sitting in the couch at a local car rental agency...5 years 
after living here). &amp;nbsp;Mexico was MORE than a dream in 2001. It was this 
whisper that kept entering my imagination and calling my name. I had 
never been there before yet I longed to call this place my home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By now you have figured out that Christie finally changed her mind. 
I&amp;rsquo;d love to say that it was my incredible powers of persuasion, or that 
she was a wife that wanted what her husband wanted but c&amp;rsquo;mon, you heard 
what her mom said she said. &amp;nbsp;No, this was a God thing and it was 
awesome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All while she was saying &amp;ldquo;No&amp;rdquo; to Mexico, we kept meeting these 
amazing people that lived or were living in Mexico (when the&amp;nbsp;student&amp;nbsp;is 
ready, the master appears). &amp;nbsp;We heard from many different people that 
Bucerias is the place we needed to be. That sounded like the place we 
were meant to be&amp;hellip;&lt;strong&gt;Bucerias&lt;/strong&gt;. We knew it was outside of Puerto 
Vallarta&amp;hellip;and that is all we knew. In fact, we didn&amp;rsquo;t even know where it 
was until 3 MONTHS before our move&amp;hellip;we didn&amp;rsquo;t even know there were 
mountains here until 3 WEEKS before we moved &amp;ndash; remember, we had never 
been to Mexico!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We sold our little businesses for a small amount of &amp;nbsp;money, moved to a
 country we had never been to and where they spoke a different language.
 Our friends mostly thought we were crazy. The ones that didn&amp;rsquo;t think we
 were crazy figured we&amp;rsquo;d be back in a year. &amp;ldquo;Someday&amp;rdquo; never comes for 
most folks but I was not going to listen to them. Mexico is where we 
were supposed to be! THAT was over 7 years ago!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before we moved, I had taken the Alberta real estate course and got 
my real estate license. I knew there were no licensing requirements to 
sell real estate, in Mexico, but I also knew that my quickest way to 
credibility was to be educated in what the Canadians and Americans would
 expect me to know. &amp;nbsp;I went to a few conferences (one of them, thanks to
 John Malpass &amp;ndash; love you brother) to get as much knowledge in my head as
 possible. &amp;nbsp;It has come in handy for my clients here - especially the 
sellers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still waiting for Mexico real estate stuff? Are you heartless? I am spilling my guts here&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The night before we were to leave, we had about 15-20 of our friends 
come over to eat cake and pie and send us off. The problem was, our 
house deal fell through THAT AFTERNOON. It would appear we were in a 
bind because our house was a disaster, the deal fell apart, and it 
looked like someday might never come for us too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Real friends are the people you can call and they will help you with 
ANYTHING you ask. &amp;nbsp;Super friends are the one&amp;rsquo;s you don&amp;rsquo;t even have to 
ask&amp;hellip;they offer first. &amp;nbsp;At midnight our &amp;quot;Super&amp;quot; friends came up with a 
solution. They would come back the next morning and help us pack, clean 
our home AND sell the house for us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Aha&amp;rdquo;&amp;hellip;THAT&amp;rsquo;s where they got the money &amp;ndash; house in Sylvan Lake! &amp;nbsp;Sorry, it was before the prices went crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had mentioned that I would tell everyone we were moving to Mexico. 
That wasn&amp;rsquo;t completely true. &amp;nbsp;Christie would not let me tell anyone we 
were moving without getting into a big fight. AFTER she was on side, WE 
told &lt;strong&gt;everyone&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would be selling our jewelry and airbrush tattoos at the Farmer&amp;rsquo;s Market and we would tell everyone who would listen. &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Thousands&lt;/strong&gt;
 of people said they wished they could do it&amp;hellip;kids, family, work, house, 
blah, blah, blah&amp;hellip;that&amp;rsquo;s what held them back. &amp;nbsp;&amp;rdquo;Someday &amp;rdquo; they might but 
not now. &amp;nbsp;Only ONE lady said she would love to but the thing holding her
 back was&amp;hellip;FEAR! &amp;nbsp;Finally an honest person! &amp;nbsp;There were thousands of 
people that wanted to do what we were doing but made every excuse in the
 book&amp;hellip;just like my dad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope you are starting to see where the Mexico real estate thing is starting to enter the picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We moved here and felt we were &amp;quot;home&amp;quot; the moment we arrived. We love 
it more than you can imagine. The kids adjusted so well that they are 
all fluent in Spanish (although we still don&amp;rsquo;t speak it that much). It 
is not perfect here all the time but I am genuinely happy to be here and
 really never see myself moving back &amp;quot;north&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;A guy I met brought up a 
good point. He said that all these tourists save their money to come to 
Mexico for a week or two and they are so sad when they have to go home. 
Even if &lt;strong&gt;we&lt;/strong&gt; have a &amp;ldquo;bad day&amp;rdquo;, &lt;strong&gt;we&lt;/strong&gt; are still having it &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;in paradise...&lt;span style="font-weight:normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:normal;"&gt;he was so right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is EXACTLY how I feel. I love this place so much and I really do
 feel that I am saving my client&amp;rsquo;s LIVES when they finally decide to buy
 a home in Mexico. &amp;nbsp;I have been selling Mexico real estate since the 
beginning of 2004 and believe I have the best job on the planet. &amp;nbsp;I wake
 up when I want, choose who I work with and fire those that don&amp;rsquo;t hold 
to the same level of loyalty and commitment that I do. If you honestly 
want to explore this Mexico thing and make it yours, email me TODAY 
because &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Someday&amp;rdquo; is just a promise that can be broken at any time - live for today!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we can pack up a young family and move to a country that we had 
never been to before, didn&amp;#39;t speak the language, had very little money, 
then what is your excuse? Christie and I are no better than you. &lt;strong&gt;We just chose to act&lt;/strong&gt;
 because we realized that life is too short to just &amp;quot;settle for&amp;quot;. Why 
settle for what you have when the world has so much more for you? Don&amp;#39;t 
wait for your kick in the pants, or worse, BE the kick in the pants for 
someone else (like my dad was for me). If you want to chat about moving 
to Mexico, call me. Heck, I want to help you so much that you can call 
me &lt;strong&gt;for free&lt;/strong&gt; at 1-888-5-MEXICO.&lt;/p&gt;

Bucerias ocean front real estate hasn&amp;#39;t been this price in almost 4 years! The seller&amp;#39;s have priced Condo Carla to sell and once the word is out...it&amp;#39;s gone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This older 2+2 condominium is located in the coveted low density area of north Bucerias, just to the north of Punta Plata. This development is called Suites Malvinas and it is extremely well located one block away from some of the best restaurants Bucerias has to offer. Did we forget to mention the SPECTACULAR Bucerias beach directly in front?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an older building but time has proven that this building is well constructed and isn&amp;#39;t going anywhere. Condo Carla is located on the second floor of this 3 story, 6 unit condominium development. It&amp;#39;s VERY low density so you can just enjoy your vacations...or new life. If you are seriously looking at Bucerias, Nayarit Mexico for beach front real estate, and don&amp;#39;t have the $425,000 USD+ that other 2+2s are selling for, don&amp;#39;t wait any longer. Call now because at $275,000 USD, Condo Carla won&amp;#39;t last long. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mexicasas.com/Bucerias/Nayarit/Condos/Bucerias_Nayarit/Bucerias/Agent/Listing_2341881.html"&gt;Property information&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.buceriashomes.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=459312" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.buceriashomes.com/blogs/elements/archive/tags/Real+Estate/default.aspx">Real Estate</category><category domain="http://www.buceriashomes.com/blogs/elements/archive/tags/For+Sale/default.aspx">For Sale</category></item><item><title>2 Story For Sale in Bucerias</title><link>http://www.buceriashomes.com/blogs/elements/archive/2009/04/13/e95c134b7ed947f0b0d2f04344e9378a.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:33:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">5c6c4c23-81c5-406b-ae29-5b377f56402e:453441</guid><dc:creator>John Forget</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p align="center" style="float:left;margin-right:10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mexicasas.com/Bucerias/Nayarit/Homes/Bucerias_Nayarit/Bucerias/Agent/Listing_2323983.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.point2.com/p2a/listing/b975/d991/0d35/52bf39253a3eaa7c57f4/w475h356.jpg" class="Photo ListingPhoto" alt="010" border="0" style="border:black 1px solid;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="cutline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interior Designed and Beautiful&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;1,388 sq. ft., 3 bath, 3 bdrm 2 story&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img border="0" height="20" id="Price_mi" src="http://www.mexicasas.com/Office/PortalOfficeShared/images/1x1.gif" style="width:34px;position:absolute;height:20px;" title="MLS&amp;reg; #29242" width="34" /&gt; &lt;span id="Price_r" style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana;"&gt;MLS&amp;reg;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="Price_pl"&gt;$209,000 USD&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;- Incredible Turn Key Home&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="dateline" id="LeadIn" style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Bucerias, Nayarit&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The feeling starts when you drive through the first giant grass roofed palapa with many tropical plants everywhere...you know you are entering a garden oasis.
