Real Estate - Buying & Renting

Real Estate can be one of the MOST confusing topics. Not only is real estate not regulated, anyone and everyone can be a real estate agent. From your plumber to your Uber driver to your grocery bagger, you’ll find people wanting to sell you an investment property, piece of land, or a good deal.

Therefore, you’ll need someone to look out for your best interests and provide educated, innovative, and current advice. Real Estate is one area of focus we bring to our clients. Amy has 30+ years’ experience in Dallas, Tx and in the Riviera Maya.

Our thorough process helps you understand the differences and challenges, the pros and cons, and what is a good buy (or rental) and things to avoid. We don’t just help you find your next home, we help you bring your dreams to life!
