  • VAllarta: Whats An INAPAM Card

    INAPAM Card INAPAM is a great benefit for retirees living in Puerto Vallarta. Who doesn’t like to save money, given the opportunity? The goal of INAPAM, officially Instituto Nacional de las Personas Adultas Mayores, is to provide programs for those over the age of 60 years who wish to stay active. This covers a lot of territory. INAPAM’s focus is making sure that elderly people in Mexico are taking advantage of their due rights and opportunities. INAPAM has been around for a long while but it was only at the turn of this century that the government began implementing the program to affect coverage for families, run at both a state and federal level. They provide education on the topics of mental and physical health, host cultural activities and help care providers get the training they need to assist with elderly living situations.

    Anyone can get an INAPAM card, as long as you’re 60 years or older and have the proper papers. You are entitled to some great discounts in Puerto Vallarta if you qualify. Property taxes are chief among them. You already get a discount if you pay early and with your INAPAM card you will get a full 50%.
    To get your very own card, go to one of the DIF offices in Puerto Vallarta; there are several locations around the city. It helps to speak Spanish but it’s not completely necessary; we know those who’ve managed to stumble their way through the process but it rarely takes only one visit. Bring originals and copies of passport, electric (CFE) or water (Seapal) bills in your name, and any residency card you may possess. It is not necessary to be a permanent resident of Puerto Vallarta but if you are, if might speed up the process. If you come fully prepared, there’s a good chance of you leaving the DIF office with your INAPAM card in hand. Arrive early, no later than 8 am and get your name/s on the list. The office doesn’t open until 9 am but a guard will be there to take names, which will allow you to receive a number ahead of those who come later. By 9 am, that list will be a couple dozen people long and it’s too late then. Take a book, knitting, a friend to talk to, or whatever helps you pass the time, because, like the immigration office, they’re in no big hurry. You’ll also need photos for your card; the photographer (we recommend Plaza Caracol) will know the correct amount required.
    As stated, the discount for your Predial (property taxes) is worth the trip, but there are many other advantages. In Puerto Vallarta you’ll get a discounted bus fare, which doesn’t seem like a big deal but you also get the same discount on tour buses, traveling distances all over Mexico. Some restaurants give discounts if you show your card. Ask. Traveling within the country by air can also be discounted. If you have a Mexican driver’s license, it will cost you half price for renewal; theater tickets are cheaper; special events are discounted. INAPAM puts on events specifically for cardholders.
    Our advice is to arrive at the DIF office very early, as they are known to run out of cards on busy days.

  • House Hunters Intl: Second Vallarta Charity Event!

    Timothy Real Estate Group filmed their first episode for the wildly popular and highly addictive HGTV real estate show House Hunters International back in 2012. Fast-forward to 2014, the real estate powerhouse filmed three more episodes, hosted the charity event of 2012 at Daiquiri Dick’s, founded the Vallarta Real Estate Fair, launched a dynamic mobile friendly website and is working on their second House Hunters International screening and fundraiser event.

    We sat down with Taniel Chemsian, the real estate agent in all four episodes, for a one-on-one Q & A:

    What has been the most rewarding experience with filming House Hunters International?

    Having the opportunity to promote Puerto Vallarta and showcasing all the wonderful places, people and family businesses throughout the city.

    What was the biggest surprise while filming?

    That it’s a lot of work. Putting a solid episode together is not as easy as it looks. It takes preparation, teamwork and commitment from all those involved.

    What have been some of the challenges with filming in Puerto Vallarta?

    DSC_1205

    One of the biggest challenges is the unpredictable weather during the summer months. The rain clouds tend to come in during the afternoon and we sometimes catch ourselves racing against time (and the thunderstorms) in getting a scene wrapped up before the downpour. Nobody wants to have their mascara running down their face on camera…unless you are Tammy Faye Baker.

    Have you been contacted by many people that have seen the show?

    The show has definitely made an impact on our presence in the market place. It has allowed Timothy Real Estate Group to reach a wider audience that otherwise would of cost millions of dollars and years to accomplish. We are grateful and appreciative of the wonderful opportunity we’ve been given.

    How did you become involved with House Hunters International?

    At first, they thought I was the lost Kardashian, but when I showed them my bank statement, they realized they made a mistake. Actually, the producers contacted us and I auditioned for the show…and the rest is history.

    Do you have any more episodes planned in the near future for the show?

    We just filmed our fourth episode this March and are scheduled to film our fifth later this summer.

    What has been the biggest surprise in filming for the buyers?

    All the buyers have been fantastic from the get go. They get to see what it’s really like putting a TV show together. By the end of the first day, they realize “this is a lot of work”, but the production company makes it fun and is very accommodating.

    Have the buyers enjoyed the process?

    I think so. The show is really about the buyers. We take into consideration why they love Puerto Vallarta, where they like to hang out, what activities they enjoy doing and why PV holds a special place in their hearts. They’re the real stars; we’re just their pretty accessories. 😉

    When is your next House Hunters charity event?

    IMG 9485 ABR28mayt

    IMG 9577 ABR28mayt

    Our second House Hunters International screening and charity fundraiser event will take place on Monday, November 24th, at the Mantamar Beach Club on Los Muertos Beach. The theme is going to be “Gilligan’s Island”.

    How can people find out more about the event and get tickets?

    We started a Facebook event page (click HERE) for the event. People can also contact me direct at taniel@timothyrealestategroup.com. We are hoping to surpass our first event in raising much-needed funds for our local charities.

     

     

  • You have restored our faith in that there are Real Estate people

    Hi Dana and Stella,

    In the past we have had experience with five different real estate sales personnel. Of the five, some were better than others. You have restored our faith in that there are Real Estate people such as you who take pride in your work and professionalism. I and Rosalie wish to express our most sincere appreciation for a job well done in selling our Condo.

    Your enthusiasm and energy is to be admired!  You certainly live up to your slogan, E E K=P R (Energy…Enthusiasm…Knowledge…Positive Results). Thank you, you two are really a DREAM TEAM.

    WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED!

    Sincerely Del and Roaslie

  • We Received Extensive and Invaluable Guidance

    A friend recently told us that if you’re considering purchasing property, the most important thing you can do is enlist the services of a top realtor. This is especially true in Mexico where a myriad of regulations, laws and sometimes antiquated structures make this process especially challenging. We were fortunate to find our experts at Timothy Real Estate Group in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Dana Scapa and her teammate, Stella, were ready from the beginning by meeting with us to determine exactly what our desires and parameters were so that we could focus our time together searching for the perfect home. Their knowledge of Puerto Vallarta real estate was extensive and invaluable in guiding us through the search of many desirable properties listed by the Timothy Group as well as those listed by other realtors in the area.

    We ultimately made the decision to purchase a brand new property, still under construction. Dana’s negotiating skills, expertise, candid advice, experience and knowledge guided us throughout the process and made it nearly stress free. She always maintained a calm demeanor and made sure we never feel pressured to make hasty decisions. Though the project is not yet complete, Dana continues to visit the site, send pictures and works tirelessly as our representative working with the staff to ensure our needs are being met. She continues her education of the local customs and laws by attending seminars and shares knowledge with us which assists us in making this adventure in Mexico a pleasure. She has been very helpful as well by providing local resources for furnishings and vendors whose services we will need as our adventure continues. We’re confident she’ll be there throughout the entire process.

    Ativan demonstrates pronounced anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects in high doses, with relatively weaker sedative and muscle relaxant effects. By mitigating emotional factors, lorazepam alleviates conditions precipitated by emotional and psychoactive influences. Taken as a single dose at night, Ativan from https://rosarydental.com/ativan-online/ induces a hypnotic effect.

    Our experience with the Timothy Real Estate Group has been totally positive. They are fortunate to have knowledgeable and professional staff such as Dana and Stella, and we feel very fortunate they are on our team.

  • Puerto Vallarta: Thursday Marina Market

    Thursday Marina Market

    We love to take a Thursday trip out to the Marina in high season. The Marina Market was once a small shopping experience that we enjoyed before dinner at one of the fine marina restaurants. We would buy some vegetables and sometimes pick up bread or sweets from one of the bakers. This market has grown significantly and we now find we must arrive much earlier than we once did, if we want to partake in all the fabulous booths and peruse the many vendors. The Marina Malecón has been a favorite stroll of ours for the past two decades and a drink up in El Faro is often a highlight. There is much to see from up in the lighthouse and it is a great place for watching the changes in the north part of Puerto Vallarta. The Thursday Market opens at 6 pm and merchants stay open until 10 pm or until they have sold all their products, which frequently happen with the food booths.

    What’s truly delightful about this market is that every item is made locally. Not only is nothing imported, every item is handmade, and you will most likely have a chance to meet the person or people who crafted your purchases. We have adorned our home and body with such items as remarkable jewelry, lovely handbags and fine clothing; gorgeous baskets and paintings; wonderful holiday decorations and amusing Day of the Dead pieces. The marvelous Huichol art is here, too, of course and they do such a great job of wrapping purchases for travel.

    Fruits and vegetables are organic and a variety of bread can be found, including several grains and gluten free. We often buy dinner at the market these days, and take it home to cook or reheat. These are excellent chefs who sell everything from fine meats and cheeses, to fancy liqueurs, pizza, cookies and cakes. With nearly 200 stalls, there isn’t time to take it all in.

    We have been fascinated to find local hand rolled cigars that rival the most expensive found in town and at a very fair price. Ice cream, yummy cups of corn, and the typical Mexican nieves de garrafa (snow cones) are also available.

    The atmosphere at the Thursday Marina Market is very festive with live music, strolling Mariachi and visiting musicians. We love the family ambiance with a mixture of locals, ex-pats and tourists.

  • Solar Energy Has A Hold In Vallarta, Finally

    Solar Energy in Puerto Vallarta: Solar energy is not new. It was discovered and developed in 1839. Because coal was available by mining and created a lot of jobs, solar took a back burner to other forms of energy. When science and the general public began to be aware of the impact of oil and coal retrieval and their uses on the environment, solar was back in the forefront, getting much more attention. In 1881, the first real solar panel was produced by Charles Fritts, who discovered that dim, diffused light was capable of producing energy, as well as exposure to bright sunlight. The real breakthroughs didn’t occur however until the early 1940’s when Russell Ohl patented the solar cell design that has been adapted for the types of panels that are in use today.

    It takes more than one panel to produce any efficient amount of energy, so most installations require several modules. Solar power in Puerto Vallarta becomes more popular with time and the price becomes more affordable. Most owners of these systems are amazingly delighted to receive their monthly power bills, and the cost of installation has become more reasonable with competition.

    Developed structures will usually require a number of modules, to be determined by the size of the space being serviced; plus an inverter; a battery pack for storage, which is optional; interconnection wiring; and a solar tracking device, which is also optional but recommended.

    We’ve heard of some people who’ve bought the equipment in the USA, carted it down, and found someone to do the installation here in Puerto Vallarta; however that’s not necessary. There are several reputable and reliable companies in the greater Puerto Vallarta area. We suggest you consult with a minimum of three, letting them know up front that you are getting competitive bids. Don’t go with the lowest bid; it may not be the best or worth your money. More importantly, make sure the company you hire will be willing and able to help with the coordination with CFE (the electric company). Before you get started, gather your past bills and have them handy for your installer. If you don’t have them for any reason, they are available on the CFE website and printable. Do your due diligence and ask about brand, origin of manufacturer, guarantees and warranties, extra equipment, KWH-per-area ratio, and cost of installation. Make sure to ask questions and keep notes. We’ve heard of homes having bills as little as 25 pesos, which we’ve been informed is the minimum.

    This is a lifetime investment and worth every peso, recoverable in as short at time as two or three years. It’s good for your resale value, too.

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: The Best Beach Town

    What Makes Puerto Vallarta the Best Beach Town?

    Puerto Vallarta was once a quiet port, agriculture being its main contribution. In the mid-60’s all that changed when John Huston decided to film his steamy movie The Night of the Iguana, based on the Tennessee Williams novel. The heat wasn’t just on screen however, and Hollywood gossip columns were on fire with rumors, photos and some substantial facts about the star Richard Burton’s ongoing offset affair with Elizabeth Taylor. With the mountains of preceding publicity, the huge success of the film put Puerto Vallarta on the map; this small town began a sensational climb to notoriety. Today, suites in the remodeled love nest of Burton and Taylor can be rented, in a luxurious setting known as Casa Kimberly, surrounded by splendid dining, tequila bar, pool and the incredible Puente del Amor, the Bridge of Love.
    The Bay of Banderas, where Puerto Vallarta is nestled in the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands, is the largest natural bay in Mexico. If you’re coming from Los Angeles it’s a quick flight of three hours, and a mere four and a half hours from New York. In the bay, one can find isolated beach havens and hopping hotspots, with a bit of everything in between. This makes Puerto Vallarta a destination for celebrities and busy people of all types, looking for a quick getaway with premier vacation necessities.
    From Los Muertos to Playa de Oro, the most well known beaches in town, one will find gay beach clubs, high end restaurants, family friendly attractions, and peaceful retreats. Playa Sayulita, less than an hour from Puerto Vallarta, is a surfer’s paradise. El Anclote, in Punta de Mita has endless calm water where kids and adult can safely wade. Playa Mismaloya is a prime place to jump aboard a small skiff (panga) for a well guided fishing tour or buck the waves over to the famous rock formation Los Arcos for snorkeling and scuba diving.
    Weddings and other elegant celebrations are common on the beaches, as well as the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe or one of the lesser known churches, all gorgeous, warm, and hospitable. Professional wedding planners abound in Puerto Vallarta.
    Puerto Vallarta has world class golf courses, numerous hiking trails, and day or overnight trips to places like the mountain village of San Sebastián del Oeste, a rural community situated among the pines of the majestic Sierra Madre range. Puerto Vallarta has two world-class well-appointed shopping malls between the airport and central area of town; one on the ocean side and the other across from the cruise ship terminal, where vessels visit daily. Puerto Vallarta is a birdwatcher’s paradise and abundant with wildlife, in the jungle and sea. Puerto Vallarta has fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, plus the must-see Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens, for nature lovers of all kinds.

  • How do you find out what is happening in Puerto Vallarta?

    What Happens In Puerto Vallarta

    It started in Las Vegas. Someone said “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” yet anyone with an ounce of brains knows that’s not necessarily true. People can hardly help keeping their mouths shut when something deliciously repeatable happens. In Puerto Vallarta, this goes back a long way. When John Huston first arrived to scout for his film The Night of the Iguana, based on the racy Tennessee Williams novel, word traveled fast, both in and out of the jungle. Locals lined up for parts as extras, people offered everything from beds and food, to property for the purpose of filming. When the actors began to arrive, it wasn’t long before news got back to Hollywood about the deeds and misdeeds of lovers and losers.

    When something happens in Puerto Vallarta, chances of it staying in Puerto Vallarta are slim. Feeds on Facebook get posted all over the world and back around again. Instagram might show an entire story or just teasing trailers. Twitter only allows 280 characters per post but a lot can be said for those who know how to economize words for impact.

    That said, how do you find out what is happening in Puerto Vallarta? Once the only source was message boards, online and off, but we were flummoxed as to how to find times for boat cruises, weather reports, how to adopt a dog or cat, hours of restaurants, locations of fresh produce markets, and such important information. Pre-Google, it was tough. Now it’s easy. Google “Puerto Vallarta” and you’re guided to overwhelming amounts of pages, so much so it’s bewildering at times.

    What are trusted English language sources? The local newspapers have websites and they keep things relatively current. www.vallartadaily.com provides local and national news, weather updates, economy  and finances and have an events calendar that we feel safe to rely upon. www.banderasnews.com also reports local and national news, has an events calendar, plus gives reliable real estate updates. Opinion editorials are amusing and informative.

    Bay Vallarta, found in print and online, is a great resource for local events, entertainment, and openings of new restaurants and businesses. PV Mirror and Vallarta Tribune are found around town in just about every business and also can be sourced online. They have loyal followings and letters to the editors can be entertaining. Gay Vallarta (www.gaypv.com) has a huge amount of information both hard copy and online and isn’t completely reserved for the LGBT crowd.

  • The Singing Queens Of Vallarta

    The Singing Queens of Puerto Vallarta: We’ve seen some fine drag shows in Puerto Vallarta. Our favorites are, of course, those entertainers who use their own voice for vocals but we don’t mind a lip-syncing, if it’s good.
    There are several venues in Puerto Vallarta to see great drag theater. With each passing year, we find these shows more professional. That might mean more expensive but for $250 pesos, you won’t find anything this good on the north side of the border.

    With high season just around the corner, some favorite acts will be returning to Puerto Vallarta. Miss Conception is scheduled to open her International Tour from January to March performs at The Palm on Olas Altas this coming season. The amazing costume changes and her humor will keep you on your toes, and stunned by her enormous talent.

    Joanna also performs at The Palm in Puerto Vallarta and has an impressive vocal range. She does her own singing and is also hysterically funny. Her impressions are knockout and she nails Cher, Adele, Streisand and several others. Imports, such as Dame Edna from England and Mama Tits from Seattle are also highly recommended, though perhaps a bit raunchier than some of the others.

    Dueling Queens is a show to catch at Act ll on Basilio Badillo. Five hilarious actors will have you rolling with laughter and jumping with glee! Their show is for all ages; young, old, gay or straight, you will laugh yourself silly. Other quirky queens to catch are Chi Chi Rones (both she and Joanna are part of the Dueling Queens), Sutton Lee Seymour, Hedda Lettuce, all witty and fun. They all have very different acts and you’d be sorry to miss any of them. Mama Tits will take you on a journey of her own personal life that will have you screaming with laughter and trickling a little tear, as well.

    There are other drag shows in Puerto Vallarta that aren’t necessarily family friendly but they’re a lot of fun, especially for the LGBT crowd. Bar Fiesta on Lazaro Cardenas has English lip-syncing in the front of the club and Spanish in the back. It’s not professional but it’s definitely engaging and amusing.

    We’ve been told the Luna Lounge in Bucerias is also very good. Grab an Uber or Taxi and take the trip north for some extra special fun. There are lots of great dinner places in Bucerias, too, so you can make a night of it.

    Check out the local papers for times and locations and book tickets without delay once you arrive in Puerto Vallarta. Cassandra Shaw’s Jewelry on Basilio Badillo pins up posters of all the local acts and they also sell tickets for certain events and performances.
