When did you first come to Cabo? 31 years ago I took a vacation to what it was a coastal fisherman’s village… and pretty much never left.

Why did you stay? I come from Chicago and having traveled all around the world I fell in love with Cabo’s fascinating weather, the ocean and its beaches and most importantly, the charm of a small town with the warmth and friendliness of the people living here.

Was it difficult for a foreigner to live in the area? Is still difficult now? I did not find it so. Back then there were some inconveniences that turned into adventures, such as making a trip to La Paz every couple of weeks for supplies and communicating by hand held radio! I look back on all of it with very fond memories and always have good stories to tell regarding how it was then.

Nowadays, living here is so much easier! With the technology available, you are never a speed dial away from family and friends abroad. You can find all types of services and amenities and with the beauty of the area make you wonder… why live anywhere else?

What made you go into real estate? The second day of the trip, we bought a lot for a home in Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas and shortly thereafter purchased land to develop a condominium project with the developers of Pedregal. After completing the condos and building my home, I decided I should be selling real estate since I was already referring friends. Also, many of our condo owners ended up building homes in Pedregal as well. Our close circle of friends and family kept on growing and growing!

At first it was a bit difficult… I wanted to learn everything so I kept on asking and asking all types of questions! With time I gained confidence and it helped me advise my clients on what was right for them. I became a full time agent with Pedregal Realty in 1996 and have been very happy ever since.

What do you like the most of living in Cabo? Still the weather, the beaches and the people. I really enjoy spending time in my home in Pedregal, walking the streets with my dogs and having friends over for a casual dinner.

What would you recommend to someone who’s looking into moving to Pedregal? Find a good real estate agent to assist you in your property search. The more experienced, the better they are to answer all your questions and find the right property for you.
