Yucatan Beach and City Properties Testimonials

* Elizabeth Rodriguez is a top-notch realtor whose marketing tools, negotiating skills and general experience in navigating the complicated process of selling a house in Mexico are excellent.  Add to that her fair commission structure and I can recommend her strongly for anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Yucatan. Steve Boulay, July 2024

* From our first interaction with Nicholas, we knew we were making the right decision in contacting him. He was responsive and informative with his communications. Throughout the process of buying our vacation home in Merida, Nicholas walked us through every step to ensure we understood and were comfortable with every step. We explored many properties and ultimately settled on the first property he showed us! Now that we are settling into our new home, Nicholas has continued to reach out and provide us the resources we need in our new home. He and the entire team he works with have exceeded our expectations throughout the process. Steve Modrow, 2024

* Nicholas Sanders, thanks so much for guiding us to the finish line on our first home in Merida. It was a daunting process for someone still living in the US and unfamiliar with the real estate process in Mexico. You and your colleagues were excellent at explaining the process and what we could expect to happen along the way. Perhaps we were lucky to have so few problems, but I expect it was largely due to your guidance and knowledge. We are excited about the future and becoming a part of the Merida community. Christopher Barret 2024

* My family & I went from the idea of investing in Merida real estate to owning a beautiful colonial home in a few short months. Elizabeth Rodriguez made the process as easy as it can be. We were provided with all the information upfront, all of our questions answered and had property showings arranged in time for our visit to Merida. The legal team that YBCP works with promptly took care of all the paperwork and handled the money transfers in a transparent manner. Special thanks go to our agent Jeff Stacy who took us around the city for property showings, answered all our questions while keeping us well entertained. All throughout the process both Elizabeth Rodriguez & Jeff Stacy were always available to address any question or concern. To sum it up, I would use Yucatan Beach and City Property services again, & recommend them, without hesitation to anyone looking to purchase in Merida & the surrounding areas. Oleg Rybin and Jessica MacRae   2024


* I was quite nervous at the thought of putting my home up for sale. I had one agent from a different company come to give me a potential listing price, which she did before even walking through the house! As I was not comfortable with that agent's indifferent attitude, I decided to contact Elizabeth Rodriguez at Yucatan Beach and City Property Real Estate. Jeff Stacy arrived, walked through my house and reassured me it would not be a difficult sell. In less than two weeks I had an offer which met my target. The two of them held my hand through the whole process, putting up with my continual inquiries on status due to the current Fideicomiso delay issues and were extremely supportive and encouraging the whole time. The two of them held my hand through the whole process, putting up with my continual inquiries on status due to the current Fideicomiso delay issues and were extremely supportive and encouraging. The two of them held my hand through the whole process, putting up with my continual inquiries on status due to the current Fideicomiso delay issues and were extremely supportive and encouraging the whole time. They will certainly be my "go to" people in the future. Five stars Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez Thank you!  Lynda Fletcher October 2023

* Couldn't imagine going through all the paperwork without Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez's help and guidance... will recommend them to my friends.  Jackson Rodrigues 2022

* We could not be happier with our experience working with Nicholas Sanders. From the very first email, he shared more information about the process of buying a home in Mexico than anyone else we had spoken to. It immediately put us at ease, knowing he was really on top of everything.  We found that he REALLY listened to what we were looking for in a house as well as the neighborhoods we were considering. Additionally, he was very respectful in making arrangements to show us a house we had seen a listing for on our own. Every step of the process was made easier because of his knowledge and communication, and we were excited to find the perfect home for our needs. We highly recommend Nicholas and the team at Yucatan Beach and City Property Mark Kingsdorf and Chuck Hinchliffe. AGO 2022
 
* Nicholas Sanders was recommended to me by friends, & they were absolutely right about him. I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted but was wide open as to how to create it. That didn’t phase Nicholas one bit, even as we looked hither & yon around town, and he (along with Alejandro) ended up helping me shape my vision to find the perfect piece of property on which to do it. So, I’m happy now & can’t emphasize enough the importance of working with a realtor like Nicholas who listens, never pushes AND knows his stuff. 5 stars for Nicholas! Ann M. Carlson 2022

* Dave and I want to thank you for all of your help over the past several months in helping us to purchase our amazing new beach home. Your guidance in navigating our first international purchase was invaluable. And your patience and quick responses to our many questions/concerns was much appreciated. We’d also like to send a big THANK YOU to Jeff for coordinating visits to the house, driving us to the notario, responding to all of the questions we peppered him with, providing contacts, and so much more.  It’s been a great experience working with you both and we’ll gladly send people your way if ever we have friends who are looking to join us all here in paradise! It’s been a great experience working with you both and we’ll gladly send people your way if ever we have friends who are looking to join us all here in paradise! Muchas gracias, Renée Graf y Dave Shearon August 2022

* We have been working with Nicholas for over a year in order to find the perfect home for our needs. Throughout the process, Nicholas has demonstrated such dedication and patience and has been able to guide us in a market that was unknown to us. Nicholas knows his game: he tells things like they are and has always provided great advice to help us through this journey. Thanks for your support, your kindness and your extreme patience!  Dominic Farand / June 2022


* I loved working with Nicholas Sanders and Yucatan Beach and City Property. I felt confident and in safe hands throughout the process. He was communicative and ensured that I was informed. He was professional and reassuring when I was unsure. I would 100% trust him again to hold my hand through any real estate business. He's also a rather nice chap. Thanks for making it easy Nicholas! Colette Kase April 13,2022
 
* We recently had the pleasure of having Nicholas’s services for our property buying experience in Chelem. Initially we were in the market for a rehab project which he made sure we had plenty of choices to view always within our budget. Over the extended months we looked at multiple properties Nicholas remained patient and honest even at times letting us know when we needed to walk away from a property for whatever reason. If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, we highly recommend Nicholas and Yucatan Beach and City Properties.  The agency as a whole is very professional, informative and makes the buying process simple. We were extremely pleased with our experience and feel we had the agent who was a perfect fit for us. Kind regards, Shaun and Amanda Tomlinson

 

* This was our first international real estate purchase, and we wanted/needed a reliable, knowledgeable, and patient agent that we could trust. Nicholas has proven to be “all that” and more! He made our accelerated process his priority. His honesty and sincere passion for his profession solidified our trust in him. He answered all our questions honestly, even the toughest ones, and did it in a timely manner. He has been extremely helpful throughout the process.

* Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value: Elizabeth and Jeff have sold both the homes we’ve had in Yucatán, first one at the beach, and now this one in Cholul. Each time they have sold them in the quickest time possible, and both to the first people to walk through the respective homes. They know how to match buyers to the home of their dreams. They have the magic touch. They are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, honest, as well as friendly, caring and kind. Undoubtedly the power team of Yucatán realtors! 10 out of 5 stars!
Thank you, Elizabeth & team, as well as your amazing legal team!    Debbie & Dave Hunter January 2021

 *  Nicholas Sanders with Yucatan Beach and City Property is one of the hardest working and most reliable people you can choose as your realtor.

Heather Harwood, 2020

*  I want to recommend Nicholas Sanders as one of the best agents I encountered in Yucatan. Nicholas found a buyer for my unique property. Nicholas is very honest, pleasant, patient and service oriented. He is very knowledgeable about local real estate and comes up with ideas to help make a smooth, fair transaction for buyer and seller. Nicholas insisted on picking me up and driving me home for every appointment with the notary, etc. Nicholas Sanders with Yucatan Beach and City Property is an agent I would certainly deal with again! Paul Beith, 2019

* We recently purchased a lovely home in Cholul and our experience with the realtors Yucatan Beach and City Property, who were selling the property, was very professional. From the initial viewing through to closing everything proceeded very smoothly. All our questions were answered promptly and any concerns we had were immediately addressed. I know it can be difficult as an expat navigating the home buying process here in the Yucatan, as we are second time home buyers. Elizabeth A. Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy are definitely who you want as your realtors. 
Marylou y Wayne Patari, December 19, 2019


* Nicholas Sanders with Yucatan Beach and City Property was helpful in getting my sale completed in great time. He is friendly and courteous, and I felt that I was treated with respect. He answered all my questions in timely manner. He worked with my seller to make sure my closing was smooth. Would recommend him without hesitation! Linda Little, Feb 20, 2020

* Nicholas Sanders with Yucatan Beach and City Property was fantastic to work with. He patiently showed us numerous properties all over Merida on a couple of investigative trips prior to our move. We decided to build, Nicholas researched our builder and would check on the progress throughout the construction sending us updates. Additionally, his critical eye during the walk though helped us get the best product. He found us a fantastic Notario / lawyer and helped coordinate our financial interests such as transfers for payment and opening a local account. He is bilingual and fights for the interests of his clients. He truly offered cradle to grave service throughout the process and still offers welcomed consult to this day. Michael Atkins, Feb 19, 2020


*  We have just closed on the sale of our casa in Chelem, Yucatán. Yucatan Beach and City Properties was the company that helped us sell. Elizabeth Rodriguezy, Jeff Stacy, and agent, Nicholas Sanders (who found the buyers), were incredible! From start to finish they were very professional, fast, informative and friendly. They kept us up to date on home showings, gave us feedback, and worked for us to a very high standard. The paperwork was handled so well, and the attorney was great. We couldn't be happier. We love the new owners who are taking over our beautiful casa, so it's in good hands. We will not be far. just up the road closer to Merida. Thank you, Elizabeth, Jeff, and Nicolas! Kudos! We will definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs a Realtor in the Yucatán. ~ Dave and Debbie" 2018


* Thank you, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy, both so very much for your hard work, honesty, professionalism, caring and, most importantly, friendship, during this process. When others failed us, you came through. Even though we are no longer in Yucatan, we will continue to promote and support you, as well as refer others to you. Wishing you all the best.
Carrie & Trevor Gregg 2018

* I recently had the distinct pleasure of working with Jeff y Elizabeth to purchase a home in Chelem. I have bought and sold several properties in the past, but I have never had such a great experience as I did Jeff Stacy y Elizabeth Rodriguez! Both have gone out of their way to ensure I understood the process and steps required to purchase property in Yucatan. Jeff was incredibly patient and very supportive and showed me multiple properties. His guidance was invaluable. Once I had decided on the right property for me, Jeff guided me through all of the steps to get to an accepted offer.  The dynamo Elizabeth then stepped in to guide me from contract through closing. Everything was very well explained and handled with great professionalism and speed.  The attorney and notary firm recommended were great to work with and I was incredibly comfortable with their services. My transaction was the smoothest I have ever had! I had read and heard about expats having bad experiences with real estate folks in the area. It is absolutely true that you have to be careful, but all my concerns and risks were quickly eliminated when I started working with Elizabeth y Jeff. I am going to adopt these two wonderful folks as “family”. I simply cannot say enough good things about either of them! If you want to live in the Merida/Progresso area, the best decision you could ever make is to let Jeff y Elizabeth help you make your dreams come true! Melissa Chelem 2018


*  Elizabeth, Jeff, and my attorney Alonso Hernandez have been absolutely amazing!!! I purchased my home sight unseen relying on the photo's they posted. When I arrived, it was exceedingly better! I cannot thank each and every one of them enough in helping me realize my dream. For anyone entertaining the thought of relocating full-time or part-time, to Yucatán I HIGHLY recommend this team, Yucatan Beach and City Properties. They are knowledgeable, honest and ever so helpful! Just an amazing team all the way around! Thank you all! Sia Williams 2017

*  We decided to move to Merida in June of this year. We started by doing research in March to find homes, neighborhoods and a realtor. Quite a few realtors were interested initially, but only Elizabeth Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy, were consistently helpful and timely with their responses and advice. When we arrived, they immediately made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The did everything they said they would do on time, and with confidence. We are so happy they chose to represent us in our search for a home. From Merida’s history and culture, to the how things “work” in Mexico, they were honest and accurate in every detail. Our new home and it’s purchase, went exactly like they told us. On time, no surprises, and WE LOVE IT!!! Thank you, Elizabeth and Jeff, for making the transition to our new lives in Merida, the smoothest we have ever encountered.         Lorne and Nettie Reid, 2017
    
*  Dear Elizabeth and Jeff, we want to take the opportunity to thank you for the amazing job you did with the recent sale of our house. Having bought and sold many houses, this transaction was by far one of the most effortless and easiest we have experienced. We appreciate the speedy response to our calls and e-mails and overseeing the tons of paperwork we know is involved with selling. I know, without a doubt, that any buyer or seller would also experience the same careful attention you gave us. We would gladly and without hesitation recommend Yucatan Beach and City Properties for anyone's property needs. Thank you again. Peggy y Paul Lombardo June 2017

You are both ethical Brokers and I am so thankful that I chose the best company, Yucatan Beach and City Properties to assist me with my Mexico property purchase!  Phyllis Nordhoff   2016

* Stephanie and I can’t say enough about our experience with Yucatan Beach & City Property and the level of service that we received from Elizabeth & Jeff. Since we are Realtors back home, we knew what type of service we were looking for right from the beginning. The communication, timeliness and being thorough with all of our questions and comments was exactly what we were looking for. It didn’t hurt that they just happened to live at the beach and knew about all the things to look out for in the purchase of a beach home. They were wonderful to deal with and we completely trusted them to help us with the purchase of our Mexican Dream Home. It was a Fantastic Experience!  Gary & Stephanie Brennan   2016


* I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez.   They were our realtors from Yucatan Beach and City Properties.  We first met them earlier this year in March 2016. They spend lots of time with us, showing us properties and answering all our questions with compassion and patience. We stayed in contact over the several months and returned to Mexico in August 2016 to see more properties, Jeff and Elizabeth made out visit and a search for a home here on the Yucatan Peninsula their priority. They listened to us, they gave us true and unbiased information and walked us through every step on the process of moving to Mexico. I consider them guardian angels and true friends. I would without hesitation recommend them and their real estate company. Sincerely Rob and Roy   2016

* Yucatan Beach and City Property is the standard of excellence in the real estate market. Elizabeth Rodriguez & Jeff Stacy are smart, informed and insightful experts who offered us advice and guidance when we decided to put our beach house up for sale. Elizabeth and Jeff set themselves apart from the many other realtors in the area with their honest and direct communication about how to position selling our house at the best price. We are deeply grateful to them both. We retained the 2-story guest house next to our former beach house, so we'll continue to see them now as Friends and not just as the Realtors who made the sale of our first home on the beach easy and memorable.  Thank you, E&J!!  September 2016

* A Big "Thank You" to Elizabeth Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy from Yucatan Beach and City Property for helping us with finding our perfect home in paradise! You guys are wonderful!! Kim and Jason Parker July 2016


* My wife and I would like to thank Elizabeth Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy from Yucatan Beach and City Properties for being the quintessential Real Estate Professionals. In an environment in Mexico without this tradition, you are both so very, very helpful and valuable. We cannot thank you or recommend your services enough for helping us through the sale of our home, even having to change a float in our cisterna during a heavy rainstorm. Anyone who avails your company of its services are getting the very best that Mexican Real Estate has to offer! We both think of you as our friends and people that we look up to! Thank you once again for all that you have done for us! Brad Stevenson July, 2016

They assisted us in finding properties that met our needs and requirements. They handled the negotiating process in an efficient manner. They determined what our accurate closing costs would be.

* Hi Jeff and Elizabeth, I want to thank you and your company, Yucatan Beach and City Properties for your excellent service in selling my home in Celestun. It was truly a pleasant experience; you did what you promised to do and brought me qualified buyers. The closing went very well. Thank you and I can truly recommend you and your company. Hans O’ Hanson February 2016

 * Leslie and I can't say enough about the Elizabeth Rodriguez & Jeff Stacy's professionalism, true caring nature, and extensive knowledge and connections in how to best market our home. They were one of very few realtors that took the time to preview our home in order to know how to best show it and ultimately sell it. Combine that with the extensive knowledge that is needed to bring an offer to a close here in Mexico, and you've found yourself an outstanding realty firm. We worked with a lot of realtors, and Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez are the most service-oriented realtors we have worked with.  In addition, they don't forget you once the deal is done. We called them many times as we prepared for the close of the sale of our house, asking numerous questions, and each and every time we heard back from them within an hour or two, making us feel like helping us is their highest priority. I highly recommend Yucatan Beach and City Properties for your real estate transaction. Wayne Phinney March 15, 2016

* Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez recently assisted us in finding and purchasing the beach house of our dreams. We had found a property online that we just knew was “the one.” After a couple of months of email correspondence, we scheduled a trip from the U.S. to look at the property in person. We asked them to find some other comparable properties that met all of our requirements for us to see while we were visiting. When they picked us up for our day of house hunting, we immediately liked them. They were extremely knowledgeable of the area and all of the requirements for U.S. citizens buying homes in Mexico. While our initial online pick did not turn out to be “the one,” Jeff and Elizabeth had chosen one to view that was perfect for us.
Jeff and Elizabeth communicated with attorneys, insurance agents, previous owners, and property managers on our behalf. They went out of their way to provide us with any information we requested and put us at ease. They guided us every step of the way through the closing process and made it painless for us. They were extremely patient, courteous, and professional. We highly recommend Jeff and Elizabeth of Yucatan Beach and City Properties and will definitely use them again should we ever need a realtor in Mexico.
Thanks again for everything! We truly enjoyed working with you. Rena and Kendall McLoud  March 2016 


* Elizabeth Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy, we can't thank you enough for all your hard work and help. Y'all have gone above and beyond. Our dream would not be coming true if not for Yucatan Beach and City Properties!  Here's to living the dream!!!! Leslie and Mark Colvin, March 2016

* My wife Carol and I recently completed the purchase of our "Dream Home" on the beach in Chuburna, Mexico. We made this purchase with the help and assistance of Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez, of Yucatan Beach and City Properties. Being professional Realtors ourselves, we feared that this "foreign" purchase was going to be a very bumpy road. However, to our amazement the expertise, professionalism, and market savviness of our realtors smoothed out the bumps and made this an interesting enjoyable experience. The law firm recommended by Jeff and Elizabeth proved to be fantastic. Needless to say, there were many strange legal terms and documents, but these were no problem due to the English-speaking legal team. We look forward to future deals and encounters with Yucatan Beach and City Property! Oh, and by the way our "Dream Property" turned out to be a great deal! John and Carol Todd January 8, 2016

* Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez recently sold my property in Telchac Puerto. They were friendly, very professional and persistent. The property was vacant for quite some time and did not show well, not to mention other issues that presented such as missing and lost paperwork. They and their resources took care of everything for a successful sale. It was a huge relief. I highly recommend Yucatan Beach and City Properties! Kathy Heir 2015

* Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez are THE DREAM TEAM who work tirelessly until you find YOUR home to “Live YOUR Dream.” Whether you choose every house or one, claiming it to be “this is our home' … to 'can we can get an estimate for reconstructing' … to 'can we go here, can we go there'”, Jeff and Elizabeth openly favor accommodating clients' desires. Oops, “clients” is a misnomer. Rather, Jeff and Elizabeth treat their clients as if they are their family. We cannot forget, mother Elizabeth's fruit snacks, hand wipes and nourishment during our travels from place to place. And we still are impressed with “master key” Jeff . There was not one house key he could not pick out to show us inside. Jeff truly is the “Lord of the Key Ring.” Must be mentioned that neither Jeff nor Elizabeth never pushed, cajoled or pressured us into a decision. When asked for an opinion, thoughtful answers were provided. In truth, it is very difficult to fully tell how grateful we are for having Jeff and Elizabeth as our brokers. Both of them having housing knowledge and design skills and the virtues of honesty, genuineness, loyalty, dedication, determination, persistence, and living a familial client-based business, we immediately adored Jeff and Elizabeth. Jeff and Elizabeth were side-by-side with us as our “Energizer Bunnies” who committed themselves 100% to achieve our outcome to “Live Our Dream”. As others have testified, we too add our names as friends. Lee and Candice Rosenberg 2015
