TESTIMONIALS
  • I am selling a modest house in Chapala. It's been around the block a couple of times. Not until I listed with Peter St. John did it's true charm and beauty emerge. Peter has staged it, attended to every aspect, detail, and possibility of this house, with the utmost care, enthusiasm, knowledge, and professionalism. The house now shows as the gem it is. To find an agent not only willing but enthusiastic to take on and bring out the best in a modest property is such a blessing. I could not be happier. Thanks, Peter! Linda Karp

  • Dottie, it’s nice to have a realtor who is through and listens to what we say...most we’ve had only showed us the upper end of our budget and above....you showed us below at and above which gave us a better idea of what was available and what we actually need to pay to get what we really want. Donna & Mike
  • I have lived in the Lake Chapala area for over 11 years. I can hardly explain how much help and assistance Butch afforded me in locating and purchasing a property. Butch and his lovely wife Janie and I soon became friends and I must say nicer and more warm people you would be hard pressed to find. When selling my home he came out and listed the home and had it sold within one month. Always extremely professional and an all around good person. Thank you Thomas F.de Borrello
  • Dottie went out of her way to show us houses and provide information about cultural happenings in the area. It is rare to find such a reliable and knowledgeable friend when visiting a new location. Dottie really listens to people and does everything she can to assist! My husband and I will definitely be contacting Dottie when we make the move to the Chapala area. Kathy and Jim from Phoenix, AZ
  • Guillermo Cardoso is my dream realtor: He is a great listener, polite, intelligent and offers exciting properties within my budget. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Deborah Kruger San Juan Cosala
  • We chose Bev and Jean Cofell to represent us as our realtors because after e-mailing several Lakeside realtors, their response impressed us the most. They showed us houses that met our specifications in several Lakeside areas and when we decided on one they were very helpful with all of the arrangements. John R Koelbel
  • On visiting Ajijic and looking for a house to live in, I contacted Pati Lopez of Coldwell Banker. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and persistent in helping me find a house I really liked. Pati also made all arrangements to furnish the house so that I would be ready to move into when I returned from the U.S. She also helped me buy an automobile for use here in Mexico. Pati has been very helpful assisting and advising me. Sterling White
  • The personal service we received from Bev & Jean of Coldwell Banker, enabled us to find and purchase the type of house we needed.

  • Peter is very knowledgeable about the local real estate environment, which gave us confidence in navigating an unfamiliar system. Peter is down-to-earth, with a can-do attitude.

  • Jack Kelly went way beyond what was necessary or expected in helping us find and close on our new home at Lakeside. Al and Gloria Carbone
  • Just a quick note of appreciation to both you (Butch Harbin) and Coldwell Banker Chapala Realty. From the time we came down to Chapala to “check things out”, moving there, buying our home, living and loving it there, and, unfortunately, having to sell and move back to the states you provided such wonderful Customer Service. You are not only a great asset to Richard Tingen and his organization, but also a great friend. I miss you and am proud to call you a friend. John and Anne Venner
  • We have had a great experience finding and buying our new home with the great help from Jack Kelly and Coldwell Banker Chapala Realty. Jack helped us every step of the way and looked out for our interests. He stayed in touch after the closing to make sure we got settled in and helped with the utilities etc. We highly recommend Jack Kelly and Coldwell Banker Chapala Realty. Samuel and Hazel Leland
  • Butch was very professional in the listing and sale of our home in Chapala. As a former real estate agent, I appreciated his expertise. Our home sold quickly, and closing was very easy, thanks to Butch. Ray and Judy Starnes
  • Hello Bev & Jean We were so happy to be with you, and thank you for your time and the tour. Regards C. Orendain
  • To those of you looking for a home in the Lake Chapala area, I have only two words for you: Butch Harbin! Butch knew exactly what I was looking for; after grilling me about every detail. We took off and searched for a “dream home” I would spend the rest of my life living in. Butch delivered! Butch introduced me to the area, my neighbors, and genuinely cared about my well-being. He and his wife are now close friends. Diane Duncan
  • I have been a Realtor in British Columbia, Canada for 20 years. Armed with my knowledge and experience with purchasing in Mexico it was of utmost importance that prior to beginning my property search I find a qualified Realtor who follows through. After many emails to many Realtors I was fortunate to settle on Gabriel Torres of Coldwell Banker Chapala Realty. You can count on Gabriel and his professional service. His follow-up and information are exactly what a buyer needs. Regards, Brenda  www.brendabachmann.com
  • You have our vote. You listened to our needs/desires and responded in kind. You worked diligently in our behalf; never pushing...always listening. Even after the “sale”, Butch continued to help out in any way he could. Purchasing a home in another country can be daunting...that’s why having Butch made it so much easier and better. He’s good! Bob
  • Gabriel Torres has been a wonderful help to me. While living in Kuwait he sent me many pictures of the house which helped me to decide whether or not to buy it. He did not stop caring about me once the sale was completed.  Just last summer he drove with me to Poncitlan, in the pouring down rain, to be my interpreter.  Once the renovations to the house are completed I fully expect Gabriel and his lovely wife, Clara, to visit me.  He has been an angel.

  • We met Bev and Jean when we decided to buy a home in Ajijic. We were very lucky they were free to look after us, when we walked into, Coldwell Banker office in Ajijic, wham! Bev was there with his great smile & hand shake, listening to our dreams. They are professional and provide a wonderful & caring service. “They are the best” when it comes to finding the home you are looking for. Feel safe with them, they do care. Margaret - Tony Middleton, Ajijic.
  • When my wife and I decided to retire we visited a number of locations in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. We fell in love with the beauty, friendly people, and lifestyle of the Lake Chapala area of Central Mexico. We did not see any existing house which suited all our needs, so we ended up building in Las Quintas. When we came to Mexico to go to settlement on our new house, we were stunned at its beauty. It is my pleasure to recommend Guillermo Blanco. Paul Brier.
