History
Established in 2008.
NAS was conceived during one fateful Spring vacation to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Founders and Boston, Massachusetts natives, Matt Weatherbee and Allan Lockhart, fell in love with Playa. They had observed from Playa's rapid real estate growth the need for competent, attentive, efficient and experienced property managers in the Riviera Maya. Matt and Allan decided to transport their combined 40 years' of property management experience from Boston to Mexico - literally. Upon returning from vacation, they sold everything, packed their SUV and 3 months later drove 4,500 miles from Boston to Playa del Carmen to start their new business venture.
