  • Purchasing A Business In Puerto Vallarta

    For quite some time, my partner and I had been looking at purchase a business together that would fit our personalities and lifestyle.  While living in Vancouver BC and after examining several options, we came across Estigo Scooters, an ATV/Scooter rental and touring company for sale in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico listed by Timothy Real Estate Group.

    After some serious discussions, we decided to contact the Timothy Real Estate Group and were fortunate to have been connected with Taniel Chemsian.  His professionalism and vast knowledge of the market place was exactly what we were hoping to find. He immediately provided us with all the information we needed about the business, providing helpful insight to the industry and that of the real estate market in Puerto Vallarta.

    Two weeks later and after further discussions between my partner and I, we decided to put in an offer for Estigo Scooters. Taniel promptly submitted our offer and began the negotiations on our behalf.  Soon after our accepted offer, we booked our tickets and were on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we met with the owners, physically inspected the business and carried out our due diligence.

    Once we set foot in Estigo, we immediately realized this was for us and thus decided to move forward with the purchase.  Thanks to Taniel, the rest of the process ran as smoothly as possible. He made it possible for us to close and take immediate ownership of the business.

    We are fortunate to have been able to relocate to this tropical paradise and live out our dream as independent business owners.

    Thank you so much Taniel Chemsian and Timothy Real Estate Group for enabling this experience in such a smooth and professional way.

  • Alan Wanzenberg’s Luxury Home Decor Ideas

    When Manhattan’s luxury developers want a sure thing, they bring in Alan Wanzenberg. The New York architect’s imprimatur is the gold standard for a clientele that appreciates his emphasis on craftsmanship and understated luxe. “I love the intimacy of residential work,” he says. “It’s so close and personal.”

    • Luxury can be intangible. It can be a day with nothing to do. It does not require a big budget. If anything, money can be destructive to luxury. I’ve worked for people with 15 Kelly bags in their closets. At some point that becomes a burden. Luxury 
is a sensibility, one that requires discernment.
    • The most luxurious project I ever worked on was Maureen and Marshall Cogan’s apartment, which we did in 1993. It was a synthesis of architecture, decorating, and art. That was luxury: a Picasso drawing on a beautifully proportioned wall with a Jean-Michel Frank–inspired sofa.
    • In some of the fanciest houses I’ve done, I’ve 
used Noguchi paper lanterns. They look fantastic and cost a couple hundred dollars.

    Modern Times

    • The design industry is seeing an enormous shift, mainly because of technology. In the course of an afternoon, you can go online and look up 101 things. But just because the information is available doesn’t mean you shouldn’t kick the tires. There is no substitute for tactile, direct experience.
    • A lot of our younger clients have grown up around design. They’ve got the technological tools to participate in design more exhaustively than my generation. The market is very sophisticated.
    • There is tension between two tendencies in design: the proverbial glass box and the more textured, crafted home. I’m in the latter camp. Jed and 
I loved working with craftspeople and seeing the hand of the maker.
    • The elasticity of a house is critical. I have clients who want to entertain, but they also want a simpler, smaller home where they can be alone with their kids. It’s like Alice in Wonderland: Can you shrink it down and can you blow it up? That’s where you earn your stripes as an architect.

    Deluxe Details

    • Bathrooms are the status rooms. They have 
become more spa-like, and the latest upgrades — like quick-draining showers — are so seamless. In two New York apartments, I’ve installed Japanese furo baths, where the water goes right up to the edge and flows over into trench drains around the base of the tub.
    • I like to have a tour-de-force room that takes 
your breath away. I designed a living room in Water Mill, New York, where massive pocket doors slide into the walls and the screens pull out. The breeze wafts through the room. It blows your mind.
    • Small houses are usually the ones with the big ideas. Think of Philip Johnson’s Glass House, the Eames House, or the home Robert Venturi built for his mother. They’re all tiny but have impact. For a dream client, I would build a jewel box of a house.

    3. A really great paint job.
    4. Beautiful wood floors with radiant heat.
    5. Great lighting. Today’s miniature LED fixtures make the whole room come alive.
    Simple Pleasures

    • When you’re young, you have exuberance for lots of things. As you get older, your preferences narrow. We used to do a lot with materials — the marble inlay that met the marble border that had metal banding, which met the wall, which had a special wenge detail. Today I’m more interested in distilling that down, working with one or two materials.
    • I bought a simple home in Costa Rica. It has electricity but no air-conditioning, just shutters. Da Vinci said simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

  • Valentine’s Day in Puerto Vallarta

    Luckily for many of us, just being in Puerto Vallarta says it all for Valentine’s Day!  But, if you really want to enjoy, relax and dazzle your friend, partner, husband or wife, please allow me to give  you a few tips or recommendations for this special day.

    Hotel La Galerita

    Two special getaway boutique hotels that I think are terrific are the Hotel La Galerita  and the Hacienda Matel  in nearby San Sebastian del Oeste.  Both are romantic spots where wonderful memories can be made.  San Sebastian is a very special place that I know you will enjoy and these two properties are both exceptional.  I strongly recommend reservations for each.

    OCEAN GRILL

    Puerto Vallarta has an incredible amount of fantastic restaurants and for lunch I love to recommend Ocean Grill,  located just south of Boca de Tomatlan.  The food, atmosphere and service is wonderful!

    One of Vallarta’s  (and mine) all time favorites is Vitea, located on the Malecon, in front of the statue of San Pascual Bailon (the patron saint of kitchens and cooks). This memorable restaurantr is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all delicious!

    A fun beach front restaurant that has great food is Barracuda, located at the north end of the Malecon, at the foot of Calle San Salvador.

    Best choice to me for a lovely dining experience is TRIO, located on Calle Guerrrero in El Centro.  Fantastic food, ambiance and service are what make this successful restaurant one to definitely not be missed.

    Happy Valentines Day, 2013!

  • Back To My Beloved Puerto Vallarta

    I recently returned to Puerto Vallarta to spend a 10-day Thanksgiving holiday with my partner and 4 other close friends. It had been a long seven-year hiatus since I last visited this beautiful vacation destination. It was great to be back!

    What I love most about this Mexican seaport, besides its beautiful and remote beaches, are the people. The locals are friendly, informative, having a simple and authentic approach to life.

    Taniel Chemsian of Timothy Real Estate Group recommended we stay at a villa named Villa Azul Celeste in Lower Conchas Chinas. His suggestion couldn’t have been a more perfect and ideal vacation property for me and my friends.

    View from Amapas Romantic Zone
    View from Amapas Romantic Zone

    The property is about 2 miles south of downtown Puerto Vallarta and a few minutes taxi or bus ride to virtually anywhere you wanted to go. The villa was secluded and right on the water with its own pool and private beach. The staff was incredible; our private cook prepared delicious, Mexican specialties. Whatever we wanted we received. One thing to remember is if you want fresh cranberries for your Thanksgiving dinner, ask the staff to purchase them from the market early since they are imported and sell out fast.

    A lot has changed over the seven years; there are more conveniences such as Costco and Wal-Mart, new shopping malls hosting prominent department stores, great new restaurants and incredible new condominium developments for someone wanting to purchase a home in this tropical paradise.

    A fabulous new steak house in the Marina Vallarta recommended by Taniel Chemsian is a place called Sonora Grill. The ambiance was inviting, sophisticated and modern. The quality of the meat was incredible and the price point was reasonable.

    The new Malecon, where only pedestrians are allowed to roam freely, now provides for a relaxing and comfortable venue for a little shopping and having a great lunch. The Malecon is now connected to the famous Playa Los Muertos by the new Rio Cuale pedestrian bridge.

    Puerto Vallarta has developing nicely and has created a beautiful place to not only vacation but an ideal town at which to retire. During my stay I viewed a fine and affordable selection of condominium properties with Taniel. I was amazed at what your money can buy here vs. a property on any American coastline. There simply is no comparison.

    I am 53 years old and definitely could see myself spending half my time in Puerto Vallarta and the other half in San Diego where I live. At these value prices, it can be easily done.

    There is one more thing that I always do when I visit Puerto Vallarta and that is to take a private boat or water taxi to a more secluded beach. In the past I have been to Yelapa and love it because it is quiet and quaint with a beautiful old church and pleasant restaurants.

    This time we went to a beach called Las Animas, which I highly recommend as well. The water is clear and pristine, with white sand stretching out. The beach is also dotted with 3-4 restaurants, which is just perfect. It is a wider and bigger beach than Yelapa with chase lounges and tables setup with white tablecloths.

    There is nothing like spending a Sunday afternoon with great friends, sipping tequila, eating ceviche and listening to a guitar player singing old Latin pasillos and ballads. It was truly magical and a moment in time I will always remember.

    Once again I thank Taniel Chemsian who has lived in Puerto Vallarta for 10 years serving the community for recommending that special day to me. Muchisimas Gracias!

  • The Story of Raicilla

    Travelers along the western seaboard of Mexico in the vicinity of Puerto Vallarta occasionally happen onto roadside vendors of a moonshine mezcal called Raicilla (rye-see-ya). The name Raicilla was originally used to disguise this type of mezcal in order to escape restrictions on alcohol production and the related taxes. My experience has always been that the sale of Raicilla was somewhat clandestine; sales being made on side streets or in small palapas clinging to the mountainsides at the edge of town. Packaging was usually a screwtop Coke bottle or some other recyclable container and the quality of the beverage verged on the raw side. Behind the harsh flavor, there was always an interesting aftertaste that brought me back and fueled my search for a smoother more civilized Raicilla.

    For the past ten years I have crisscrossed Mexico looking for new tequilas and mezcals and adding to my research notes, always searching and sampling. Recently, I discovered a legitimate producer of Raicilla, one who has combined the best of historic techniques with the advantages of modern technology. This is the “Destiladora del Real” located in the mountains above Puerto Vallarta. In the past, this area was famous for it’s mining, and the well-paid miners expected their liquor to be of the best quality.

    The towns producing Raicilla are San Sebastian del Oeste, Hostotipaquillo, Talpa, Mascota, Atenguillo, Guachinango, and Etzatlan. A combination of reddish brown soils, sun, and rain in this part of western Jalisco created the perfect environment for the growth of the Agave Lechuguilla which is the sugar source for Raicilla. This agave is a member of the botanical Group Crenatae and is identified as Agave Inaequidens or Agave Maximiliana, commonly known as “Pata de Mula” (Mules Foot). Agave Lechugilla is somewhat smaller than the agaves that pulque and tequila are made from. As the agave matures it begins to put up a flowering stalk (quiote); this is cut off so that all of the plants sugars are directed to the heart. About the 8th to 10th year the plant matures and is harvested by “Jimadores” who cut away the spiny outer leaves with long handled knives (coas). The heart of the plant that remains looks like a pineapple and in fact is called a “piña”. These piñas, weighing about one hundred pounds, are taken from the fields to the “taberna” where Raicilla processing takes place.

    Every step of this process is done completely by hand. The piñas are placed in large wood fired brick ovens (hornos) where they are cooked for 24 hours. After cooking they are chopped into chunks with machetes and beaten into a pulp with large wooden mallets (mazos) in a wooden tray called a”batea”.

    The crushed agave and juice is placed in 100 liter wooden vats with copper bottoms (perols), or 55gal. drums, where it ferments with the natural plant yeasts for 7 – 9 days. After fermentation is complete, a cap is placed on the vat and sealed with adobe mud, this is connected to a copper distillation coil and the vat heated.

    After distilling for about 8 hours, the resulting distillate is a high quality, 100% natural Raicilla known as “Las Raicillas del Real” or “La Punta”

    To appreciate the efforts that go into a “boutique” Raicilla, consider that it takes 15 pounds of agave to produce 1 liter of Raicilla and that only 50 liters of distillate are made every 24 hours.

    Traditionally, the first few drops of distillate that emerge are tossed in the air, if it evaporates before landing, the brew is good.

    Raicilla can be consumed straight in a “Caballito” (tequila shot glass), but is more commonly served chilled in a wineglass, over the rocks, or with Squirt or some type of grapefruit soda.

    A popular saying of the Mexican people is: “Para Todo Mal, Mezcal y Para Todo Bien Tambien” (For everything bad, Mezcal and for everything good too)

  • Peregrinaciones In December

    The Peregrinaciones or Processions are celebrated during the first 12 days of December.

    Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ was given the name “La Virgen de Guadalupe”, or The Virgen of Guadalupe” in Mexico by church authorities almost 500 years ago.

    In Puerto Vallarta, the Peregrinaciones  start primarily at Calle 31 de Octubre and lead down Calle Juarez to the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, located across from city hall.

    Peregrinaciones In December
    Peregrinaciones In December

    To many people of Mexico, ‘La Virgen” is a sign of faith and hope and on December 12th, HER day, “Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe”, thousands of people walk in procession to the church to search for help or thank her for prayers answered.

    Throughout the twelve days of Christmas processions of many hotels, restaurants and other companies have their employees and their families dress up in traditional Mexican garb and walk to the church, singing Christmas carols, while holding candles, baskets of fruit and vegetables and other items to offer to La Virgen.

    There are Mariachi groups also who make the procession, playing their wonderful instruments and singing along the way.

    Nightly throughout the 12 days of Peregrinaciones and all day on December 12th, there are many “puestos” or stands, selling tamales, sodas, tacos, fruit, churros, ejote, pozole and  t-shirts of La Virgen and all things Christmas for you to enjoy.

    If you are in Puerto Vallarta during this time, it is one of the best experiences to be had, especially on December 12th.

    Feliz Navidad!

  • House Hunters International Puerto Vallarta Episode #2

    June 6, 2013 on HGTV

    House Hunters International hadn’t filmed any episodes in Puerto Vallarta until last year when they contacted Timothy Real Estate Group about auditioning for the show. Our first episode aired March of 2012 and on June 6th 2013 our second episode aired highlighting Puerto Vallarta once again and the wonderful property options that are available here. Puerto Vallarta is a very popular destination for tourism and property investments, which makes this opportunity to use House Hunters International as a vehicle to get the word out, just perfect.  

    The second episode was shot in November and now finally the day arrived for its airing with much anticipation so we decided to have a premiere party, which was exciting, just like getting ready to watch the Oscars or the Super Bowl!  Our wonderful friends Ray and Anne Young invited us to their beautiful home in Molino de Agua to celebrate and watch the new show. Our star agent, Taniel Chemsian could be nominated for an Emmy he did so well. Valium Our buyers, David and Andrea Golombeck were incredible and very relaxed in front of the camera which let their personalities shine through.

    Ray and Anne had every television in the house tuned in to HGTV but the big screen was were everyone congregated. We all cheered when we all saw the first glimpse of Puerto Vallarta looking straight down Calle Aquiles Serdan to the end of the street and seeing the beautiful beach and bay.  Different shots of downtown were used including shops, galleries and the beautiful cobblestone streets.

    One of the highlights of the evening was when Taniel’s mother called from Los Angeles to let him know that Puerto Vallarta looked so beautiful she wanted to move from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta, and soon.

    We are so thankful to have the opportunity to be involved in a project like this and be able to enjoy it as an office and as a community of friends and clients. Filming starts in August for episode three. We can’t wait to see what surprises the new episode will bring.

  • Ruben Toledo and Ralph Pucci collaborate on design.

    We find these designs simple and chic and wanted to share them with you…  This is definitely part of ‘Inspired Living’… and we hope that as the real estate market in Puerto Vallarta shifts so do the design elements being introduced here.

    Since meeting in the mid-1980’s, artist Ruben Toledo and Ralph Pucci International’s Ralph Pucci have mingled socially and rubbed shoulders professionally, the latter relationship spawning seven mannequin collections. When the two reconnected at a party this year, an old topic resurfaced—joining forces on furniture and talk soon yielded a signed series of limited editions aptly named Collaboration.

    In his Midtown studio, Toledo had his way with existing styles of Pucci tables and seating, garnishing the cerused-oak surfaces with oil paint yet leaving stainless-steel and glass components intact. Now, a landscape of enigmatic faces populates the square side table. On the bench and dining table, silhouettes chronicle fashion evolution, from Romantic and Victorian to flapper and mod. Hypnotic eyes peer out from the console, cocktail table, and chair.

    While this marked the duo’s first nonfashion alliance, after so many mannequins, the lure of display proved hard to resist. So Toledo spent 10 days in the penthouse showroom, painting murals that became the back drop for a month long exhibit and a party.

  • 1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair a hit!

    The first annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair took place at the Rivera Molino Plaza on Saturday, March 2nd, 2013. The successful event hosted by Timothy Real Estate Group, included over 12 local businesses and professionals offering free advice ranging from mortgages, health care providers, home owners insurance, real estate, immigration and it’s laws, interior design and more.

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    “I am very pleased with the turn out,” said Carl Timothy, one of the principal forces of the successful event and president of Timothy Real Estate Group. “With an ever evolving market and new rules and regulations, we thought it would be a great opportunity for foreigners, local professionals and our clients to have a chance to come out and meet face-to-face with some of the leaders in these industries and get the information they need first hand.”

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    It was estimated that over 150+ people turned out for the event, on a gorgeous Vallarta day. “This was sort of our trial run, to see if there would be any public interest for this sort of thing,” said the other force behind the event, Taniel Chemsian. “Often our clients asks us who to contact for information regarding interior design, a real estate attorney, insurance, immigration, you name it. The realtors kind of become the ‘directory’ for their clients. So we thought, why not bring all these professionals under one roof, for a one day event, so everyone can have the opportunity for a sit down one-on-one discussion concerning their needs. I’m happy to see that we had a big turn out.”

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    One visitor proclaimed, “This was wonderful.  I’ve been living in Mexico on an old FM3 visa for over 4 years, and when I heard the immigration laws had changed, I was concerned as to how it would affect my foreign license plated car and my visa renewal.  Irving Becerril (from Riedesser & Associates) calmly explained the new changes. It was great information that is sometimes lacking when you are surfing online. You never know what you are reading on the web is current or accurate, so to have this event and have the opportunity to come down and gather the information first hand makes a big difference.”

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    Some exhibitors, having done business with one another for years, got to finally meet in person for the first time. “Oscar & I enjoyed ourselves and found today to be a productive and educational day. My appreciation to all the attendees.  It was good to catch up with them and to have the opportunity to meet for the first time with some of the other professionals,” said Kevin Crisp from Stewart Title Latin America.

    1st Annual Vallarta Real Estate Fair

    When asked about the future of the fair, Taniel continued to say, “We are already looking forward to and planning next year’s event. We anticipate there will be more exhibitors readily available to help answer questions and perhaps a few hidden surprises for everyone.”

  • 10 Unique Wash Basins for Your Dream Bathroom

    The bathroom is one of the most crucial areas of the house. It is where you can refresh yourself before or after work.  10 designers made use of their brilliant ideas to come up with simple but eye catching Wash Basin designs.
    This is definitely part of ‘Inspired Living’… and we hope that such beautiful design elements are introduced here soon.

     

    Wash Basins are made from different materials like : stainless steel, enamel over steel or cast iron, ceramic, marble, plastic, soapstone, concrete, terrazzo, wood, stone, copper, glass or granite. Too many right? Name it, and the manufacturers would sure be able to create one just for you. That is how they always come forth and make new designs – for client’s request or maybe due to the demand at hand. Every household would like to have their furniture or fixtures for that matter to be one of a kind and special. Specially-made wash basins usually cost a fortune, that is why users just choose whatever are at the shops. But of course that does mean unique and good looking wash basins that are affordable is not available for our dream bathrooms right?

    So, speaking of bathrooms, whenever it is being discussed, it is usually the tub or the shower that comes to mind. But hey, have you imagined how your wash basin would look like? What would be the color, the shape, the material, and who may be even the designer? Have you ever thought that wash basins actually come in a variety of looks that would really entice us? Yes, they do. In fact, for today’s read, we will be showcasing a series of designs for you to take a look at and see which one you’d want to get for your dream bathroom. Below are pictures for you to choose from. Let see them one by one.

    This design is basically a classic wash basin, although the materials were sort of minimized with intertwining the body of the wash basin to give it elegance and a unique touch which also makes the material lighter than normal.

    Stalactites are popular for people who are fond of visiting caves, but for those who are not – here is one heck of a wash basin that resembles a stalactite.

    The unique designs that we have presented today surely charmed us with how they would possibly go with our very own bathrooms. They look all modern, out of this world maybe, but all in all, the wash basin designs that were presented in this article impressed us and inspired us to do away with mainstream wash basin designs that are available in our local home depots.
