  • The 2018 Puerto Vallarta Real Estate Fair & Habitat For Humanity

    About the 2018 Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    Our theme this year will be humanity and diversity among people, highlighting important values such as equality, compassion, love and inclusion. The slogan we chose for the event will be ¨Together we can do great things.¨ As a reference we took the film of the Greatest Showman because it defends the diversity and dignity of each person, regardless of gender, gender or preference. I think the idea for the event is to reflect both the theme and the company; which values the collaboration and connectivity between people.

    Helping Build Our Communities – Habitat For Humanity

    Timothy Real Estate Group is proud to announce the theme for the 2018 Vallarta Real Estate Fair, Habitat For Humanity Mexico.
    Since 1989 Habitat for Humanity Mexico has been turning the dream of home ownership into reality for low-income families thanks to donations and charity.
    For those who have not yet heard of Habitat For Humanity, this non-profit organization offers training and technical services to low-income families. Through that training, families are then able to build their own home and also help to build homes for fellow community members. Habitat for Humanity also promotes innovative and affordable financing options for families through no-interest loans

    In Mexico the average low-income family without financial support will take 20 years to build their home. With Habitat for Humanity, 17 volunteers can build one house for one low-income family between 6 and 12 months. That house will cost an average of $11,700 USD. All of those donations and time comes from the support of community members and volunteers and has already helped 61,000 families across 24 states in Mexico.

    What can you do to help? Volunteer.  If you would like to personally get involved, Habitat for Humanity Mexico is always looking for helping hands to construct homes for families. Visit www.habitatmexico.org/socio-habitat to sign up to volunteer today. Don’t have the time to volunteer, that’s ok, you can donate to this worthy cause at www.habitatmexico.org/reconstruyamosmexico.

    With Habitat for Humanity and your support, we can improve the quality of life for community members everywhere, and be sure to follow Habitat For Humanity Mexico on social media to see the projects they are working on now. @HabitatMexico.

    The Vallarta Real Estate Fair is a great opportunity to put expats, buyers and sellers in direct contact with local professionals offering services from interior designers, immigration, real estate, property managers, mortgage brokers, healthcare providers and more.

  • Vallarta Knows A Party

    The Spanish word for bridge is puente and in Puerto Vallarta, as in all of Mexico, that means “time to party.” A puente is a bridge that carries you from one ordinary week into another, with good times in between. An extra day for travel or recovery makes for three and four day vacations. Mexicans love a party and celebrate at any opportunity. Merriment, good food, drink, song, all ages dancing and a school holiday thrown in make a perfect combination.

    Aztecs started the tradition of fiesta long ago with focus on the importance of fertility and asking favors of the Pre-Hispanic gods, which now are passed off to Catholic saints.

    Puerto Vallarta has her own Mardi Gras parade, currently growing into one of the largest of its kind in Mexico. Costumes will be joyfully created, very elaborate and in Puerto Vallarta, you can guarantee many men dressed as women. It cannot, however, rival that of the Parachico parade in Chiapas, which takes place for several days in the month of January. The men dress as women not only for the parade but take to the streets, masquerading day and night, supposedly in honor of a legendary mother who gave a feast to thank the healer who saved her sick boy. The festival name, Parachico (for the boy) gives credence to the men and the women they love to imitate.

    Though most people think futbal (soccer) is the national sport of Mexico, it is actually Charreria, very popular in Puerto Vallarta. Rancheros (ranch hands) of old hacienda days, began this tradition as a competition during the periods of time they were not working. Roping, cattle handling and horse riding expertise turned into highly skilled contests and along with it, a complete new form of attire was born. Along with charreadas came mariachi, the music of the charreria. No Mexican fiesta is complete without traditional music. The musicians dress in the same outfits are the charros (cowboys) and it is not unusual to see a trumpeter put down his horn and jump on a horse, showing expert talents in two arenas.

    The most famous of all Mexican fiestas is Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and Puerto Vallarta is no exception. For several days at the end of October and beginning of November, shrines are constructed, elaborate or simple, in homes, stores, hotel and bank lobbies, on the street. The dead are remember with sadness and joy and offerings of their favorite food, drink and activities. It is a festival represented by religion, paganism and mysticism. Cemeteries become merry, vibrant places where music, culture, food, drink and happiness are the order of the day.

    Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican holiday observed throughout the United States and Canada, is not celebrated in Mexico at all!

    Que es cómo es.

    Please join us for the 4th annual Real Estate Fair!  There will be information on taxes, immigration and other topics.   To benefit from this valuable information and over 20 more exhibitors, attend the 2016 Vallarta Real Estate Fair on February 20th, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. hosted by Timothy Real Estate Group.

    Location: Rivera Molino Plaza, corner of Ignacio L. Vallarta and Aquiles Serdan in the Romantic Zone (Old Town Vallarta).

  • Puerto Vallarta & Maize

    Next time you’re on the Malecón in Puerto Vallarta, buying corn on the cob and smothering it in cheese and Salsa Huichol, remember corn, a highly diversified and reliable food source, is a vegetable with a traceable history. You would not be having this tasty, flavorsome treat if it wasn’t for a complicated invention that took place over 8000 years ago. Much of the produce that we consume can be found growing in the wild; however corn was cultivated from a wild grass called teosinte by people living in central Mexico several centuries in our past. Teosinte had more of a semblance to a bean stalk when its first modification took place. Kernels were spaced and not snugged close together like the ears with which we are familiar. Colors often ranged from common yellow to the reds, browns and purples we call Indian corn in the US and Canada and usually see decorating autumn bouquets. Though good students are aware that corn (maize) has long been the subject of worship in Mexico, less common knowledge is how the country supports some of the world’s most treasured biodiversity. The purity of Mexico’s corn is in peril.

    Mexico banned commercial planting of GMO corn in 1998 but still allows the importation of over six million tons a year, typically from the US. A huge portion of the imports are transgenic and Mexico’s most sacred product is now highly threatened and quite likely contaminated. Considering how deeply fundamental corn is to the Mexican culture this is not an insignificant matter, but an issue of great tragedy.

    Corn is second only to rice as the world’s most essential harvest and has been regarded as miraculous in substantiate growth. Farmers have long made claims concerning the ability to hear corn grow, bursting as it does from the earth and leaning, twisting towards sunlight.

    The art and architecture of Mexico rely heavily on the shape of the basic grain, which is found in every meal, dictates schedules of fiestas and significant events, and for centuries has provided the core source of sustainability and survival of the indigenous populace. Corn is considered a legacy in Mexico, a piece of the culture to leave to coming generations. With the introduction of GMO produce; artificially lowered

    prices that have had a huge impact on expected income; and the disruption of contingent growth, Mexicans see their cultural paths going in the same direction as North American Indian tribes, simply at a slower and yet inevitable pace, facing extinction.

    Groups in many Mexican states have formed to combat the destruction of such a central part of the way of life, accompanied by education by elders of the youth on the topic of the importance and security of maize. It’s often an uphill and underappreciated battle.

  • Lead By Example in Puerto Vallarta

    Basura (garbage) is a steady problem in the tropics and Puerto Vallarta is no exception. We all need to do our part to help and when we do, it makes life far more pleasant for everyone involved. There are no exceptions, considering that from birth to death, we all create copious amounts of waste.

    Community groups thrive in the winter months but in low season there are simply less people in Puerto Vallarta to pick up the slack. Less people should represent less trash but it doesn’t always work out that way. One look at our beaches, parks and streets reveals evidence of a problem. While walking the pup, we have picked up litter along the canal that will fill a couple large bags in the length of only one city clock. That’s too darn much.

    Do your part by making sure to put your household trash out for collection on your designated day. If you don’t know what day that is, find out from your administrator, HOA president, neighbors or shop owners in the area. Pickup in your colonia happens on specific days, at exact hours; we have seldom seen any wavering from schedule.

    Use a heavy duty plastic bag and make sure it is tightly tied at the top. Don’t leave it open. Do not place items on top of piles that will invite stray dogs, cats and wild animals to begin digging. We have also seen garbage sitting atop a bag with food items exposed, chicken bones, dry tortillas crumbling, cans with food residue that haven’t been rinsed or bagged.

    Instead of complaining about the amount of plastic bottles, floating grocery bags and OXXO cups in Puerto Vallarta, grab your own trash-bag and take a walk. Wear protective gloves and pick up whatever lays in your path. There are empty lots in Puerto Vallarta that are open dumping grounds. Don’t be afraid to wear some closed toe shoes and buy or borrow a rake if you haven’t one of your own. Make an effort to assist your community in its beautification. Pick up after yourself at the beach and park; take whatever trash that isn’t yours in a decided radius. Be a part of the solution. Setting an example is the best way to get things done, and others are sure to follow your lead.

  • Selling Our Business In Puerto Vallarta

    About two years ago my husband and I made the difficult decision to sell our ATV/Scooter Rental & Tour business and head back to Europe to attend to aging family members.  Moving out of beautiful Puerto Vallarta was a hard choice to make, but it was something we needed to do given the circumstances. My husband and I started the business in 2009 from the ground up and it’s been my pride and joy ever since. We worked hard and long in building a name for ourselves and successfully translating our vision to a successful  and thriving business. It was important for both of us to find a professional and reputable realtor in Puerto Vallarta that we could connect with; someone with the same passionate intensity, honesty, discipline and drive for success.

    Selling our business in Puerto Vallarta

    A few people suggested we contact Taniel Chemsian from Timothy Real Estate Group. He is known throughout Puerto Vallarta to be one of the most reputable and knowledgeable realtors around, working for one of the most highly regarded real estate firms in Banderas Bay. Taniel has listed and sold a variety of real estate properties and business opportunities. Once we finally met Taniel, we knew in that instance he was the perfect realtor to represent us.

    From the first day, he was hard working, professional and he made us feel like we were close friends. His personal touch with marketing and impeccable eye for detail was very impressive. He always made himself readily available and showed complete transparency, a trait only seen in true professionals.

    Once we had an accepted offer, Taniel was there for both parties, managing the entire closing process from the beginning to the end. He successfully helped transfer ownership to the happy new buyers, who were just as elated with him as we were. Taniel’s positive attitude and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and secure is a trait I will always remember and value.

    We would highly recommend hiring Taniel Chemsian to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a real estate property or business opportunity.

    Thank you Taniel for all your excellent customer care and always being upbeat. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

  • Poinsettias Everywhere in Vallarta

    This time of year in Puerto Vallarta, poinsettias are everywhere. Supermarkets, small tiendas and roadside stands as well as the many viveros (plant nurseries) stock abundant supplies.

    In Mexico, this luscious leafy flower is called Flor de Noche Buena, the “flower of Christmas Eve.” Like most things in Mexico, it is rich with symbolism. According to legend, a poor little girl, known as Pepita, traveled empty handed to honor the birth of the baby Jesus. She prayed for a gift to present at the altar and an angel appeared to her on the side of the road. (This seems to be a common occurrence where saints and martyrs are involved.) Pepita was instructed to pick the ugly weeds surrounding her and present them at the church. These wild, unattractive plants magically transformed themselves into beautiful leaves that stunningly resembled the blood of Christ. The shape of the inner foliage of the flower resemble a star, symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem.

    Though we’ve been led to believe poinsettias are poisonous, this is ignominious for the delightful bloom. Studies have proven that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 leaves to have a harmful effect. Considering the nasty taste of the milky sap that is emitted from the stalks, children and pets alike are likely to prefer the tangerines, candy canes and dinner leftovers that adorn tables this time of year.

    In the mid 19th century the poinsettia was named in honor of Joel Roberts Poinsett, the US ambassador to Mexico, who was a botanist and doctor. The name is unarguably pronounced with or without the ee-ah.

    The red blossoms are actually not a flower, but basically a continuation of the leaves, the red color produced through a process called photoperiodism, exposure to dark, rather than light.

    The grand day of the poinsettia, when we are bound to see the greatest profusion of them, is the 12th of December, Guadalupana, the date chosen to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and the holy legend. Coincidentally, this is also the day of Joel Roberts Poinsett’s death in 1851.

    Poinsettias can’t survive a frost but will grow into small bushes in the proper climate. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, the plant is called Cuetlaxochitl, meaning “flower that grows in soil,” so chances are anyone will have some success moving them from decorative centerpiece to

    outdoor garden. Good luck and when shopping, according to my experts, for a long lasting poinsettia choose those with little or no yellow pollen showing.

  • Vallarta: The North Shore is HOT (and Close by)

    Punta de Mita

    Less than ten miles north of Puerto Vallarta, the community of Punta de Mita has become one of the most desirable destinations in the world for wealthy people seeking privacy and luxury. The Four Seasons Punta Mita is located here, as well as St. Regis Punta Mita, Casa Aramara and more than a dozen high-end housing developments. It’s also the location of Careyeros Hill, a prehistoric/archeological site, dating back to approximately 800 AD, long ago inhabited by humans.

    The climate is quite favorable due to the position on the peninsula, surrounded on three sides by the ocean. The Marieta Islands, to the west of Puerto Vallarta, can be reached in 15 minutes by boat from Punta de Mita. Forbes Magazine has ranked this area Number Two in the world for its rating of famous private residences in the tropics. The well-staffed (35 person) luxury villa Casa Aramara is very popular among the celebrity set.

    The name Punta de Mita, translates to Tip of Mita, indicating ownership of one named Mita. Though it’s hard to say if anyone named Mita still lives on the land, without doing in-depth research, we’ve found that locals object to the shortening to Punta Mita, just as they do with the abbreviated PV for those unable and unwilling to pronounce Puerto Vallarta. But they were given little choice and many now refer to it in the shortened version.

    Though Punta de Mita has been somewhat invaded by the rich and famous, it’s also become the home of enterprises like a global conference including well known Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, patrons and sponsors. Their intention is to connect the thought leaders of Mexico, North and Latin America, in an attempt to initiate a stable structure for mentoring curriculum. They have named themselves MITA (Mita Institue and Tech Accelerator), in honor of the locale and their ambitions. MITA hosts an annual Tech Talks event in Punta de Mita. They embrace equality, animal rights and encourage the unification of leaders throughout the Americas in the sphere of the entrepreneurial network, using panel discussions and social media. Groups like this will change the way we are viewed globally.

    Punta de Mita and the surrounding peninsula, from Puerto Vallarta to Sayulita, have a lot of offer in the way of sports and entertainment. Kite boarding and surfing are very popular on these shores and rental shops can help with lessons and equipment. The shoreline abounds with accessible beaches, even though there are some areas blocked off by the larger enterprises. Seaside restaurants in Punta de Mita, north and south, offer a variety of fare and prices. Bike rental shops in Bucerias and Sayulita are happy to help with bikes and the racks for your car so you can plan day trips. Horseback riding is available in Punta de Mita, as well, for those looking for a different pace.

  • Puerto Vallarta: Be Responsible With Your Pets

    Don’t Litter with Litters

    Most visitors know nothing about the pet population in Puerto Vallarta. They are aware of dogs on the beach, cats on the island in the middle of town but what is really surprising is how little the people who live here are aware of the exponential animal growth and how out of control it is. There are groups who are intent on changing this, as well as cracking down on breeders. Sensible breeding does take place but puppy mills, especially for popular breeds such as chihuahuas and pit bulls continue to add to an ongoing problem in Puerto Vallarta. It is against the law to sell dogs and if you are approaching by anyone with puppies for sale, turn your immediate attention to the police. They will dispatch the perpetrator will no delay. Authorities want to help control this situation just as much as true animal lovers.

    One thing that sets us off and gets our tongue lashing is seeing someone with a dog who has his testicles completely intact. This is a common occurrence in young people who simple don’t get it, but we find a lot of their elders, especially men, are hesitant to have a dog (or a cat) neutered. They have been misled by some awry thinking about the pet’s masculinity. In fact, neutering does nothing to affect maleness but the unneutered dog does run a much higher risk of canine testicle cancer. It is more common than the general public is aware.

    Groups in Puerto Vallarta have been working on this issue for years. We see the majority of these animals in neighborhoods where owners are obviously not in a position to run off to the vet at every opportunity, and having an animal “fixed” will most likely cost money needed for family groceries. There are free clinics with this situation in mind. Anyone can bring Fido and/or Fifi and though a donation is appreciated, it is not required. The intention is to keep the family pet, and the street cats and dogs from reproducing.

    The Colina Clinic is funded by the owner of a local beach restaurant and takes place every Saturday. The Peace Clinic is a local coalition, who uses a mobile unit, going to different neighborhoods four days, Wednesday through Saturday. The Rio Cuale Clinic is the first Monday of every month at the Cultural Center. Sponsors are very dedicated to these programs and donations are very much appreciated. The animals are in the care of well trained technicians and doctors. There are a lot of volunteers and it seems to be a popular pastime for visitors who like to help the community while they vacation.

    Adoption is the best option, regardless of what country you live or visit, keeping in mind the shocking amount of animals that are euthanized on a daily basis.
