I cannot say enough good things about working with Brooke Thomasser. Far beyond an average "real estate agent," Brooke has been a trusted advisor, problem solver, invaluable local resource, and a true friend.
There are many unique challenges and intricacies to buying land and building a home in a foreign country. As Americans without much prior knowledge of what was required to do this in Mexico, we would have been absolutely lost without Brooke. Brooke has been a life saver for so many reasons, including:
(1) He lives full time in La Ventana and speaks Spanish, so he has eyes and ears on the ground. He is our on-the-ground resource for a multitude of different tasks, projects, meetings, and negotiations that need to be coordinated with government offices/entities, construction crews, accountants, lawyers, you name it. We can't be in Mexico to oversee all of this. Brooke has the local knowledge and presence to handle all of this for us.
(2) He's also an American with a deep technology background who understands the way that Americans do business (speed, pace, expectations, quality of service, electronic documentation/communication, etc).
(3) He has integrity, and he can be trusted implicitly. He acutally cares about what is best for us and for all of his clients. I have observed him throughout the years going above and beyond with his time and effort, because he genuinely wants to help people. It would have been so easy for us to have been taken advantage of by an unscrupulous agent (of which there are plenty doing business in Mexico). This has never been a concern with Brooke.
I highly highly recommend Brooke to anyone buying, selling, or building in La Ventana. read more
