Last fall Doug and I met a wonderful young couple from Alberta, Canada. They had been researching the area and decided to come down for a look-see. Chad and Ronette fell in love. They looked around at houses and decided that this was the place for them. While we were showing them around we were amazed at Chads knowledge of real estate in the area. He could virtually tell us everything we had listed verbatim. We would ride by a house and he would say something like,"Chelem Cozy, 2 bedrooms, one bath, all utilities available, 5 minutes from Progreso, $49,000" As we became friends Chad and Ronette expressed an interest in moving here full time and working with us. Now let be totally honest, this isn't the first time that we've had this conversation with clients..... However after they returned home to the cold and snow they were still contacting us and seemed very serious. Doug and I thought, "well, why not?" Long story short, they moved here in mid January and have been doing a wonderful job. Many people have the idea that if they move to Mexico that it will be just like where they have come from, and if it isn't, they will change it. Chad and Ronette both have taken to Mexico like a duck to water, they understand that they are in a different country and they need to adapt to it instead of the other way around!
Chad was the owner /operator of very successful environmental company for the past 10 years in Alberta, he thoroughly understands being self motivated. He has listed many new beach properties since he has been here. Ronette has an all natural product line of soy candles, soaps, scrubs and more that she started from the ground up. They have an adorable baby boy, Andrew that is 15 months old. This young family is a great addition to our expat neighborhood as well as Mexico itself!
I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank them for all their hard work and determination as well as introduce them to our blog friends. Chad's area is mainly Progreso and east, though he is also listing homes in Merida. Please take the time to checkout his listings on our
web page and contact him with any questions or concerns or simply to talk about the area.
Aren't they a beautiful couple?
Doug and I
Doug, me, Chad, Ronette and Jack
Our dear friends Neil and Mary were here too!
Until next time, we are "Chillin' in Chelem."
