Andre Couvillion
Our experience buying a property with Sixten was excellent. The entire team (Julisa and Mariana were our main contacts, but we got support from Xochilt and others) are very professional and excellent communicators in both English and Spanish. They helped us to find the perfect property, answered hundreds of questions with patience, and supported us in all aspects of the transaction. The escrow, lawyer, and notaria that they use all did an excellent job too, which made it easy for us.
We would recommend, have recommended, and will continue to recommend Sixten to anyone looking for representation in the PV area. We feel very fortunate to have found such good partners during an unfamiliar but important process!

I had an amazing experience with sixten realty specifically Andrea Sandoval. Andrea was extremely attentive and took time out of her schedule to make sure that I was able to see all of the properties that I was interested in. Andrea has a very extensive knowledge of the specific neighborhoods that I was considering and gave me detailed explanations of the pros and cons of each one. I will be deciding on a purchase soon and when I do I will be closing with her.

Marina no es solo una excelente Asesora, es también un excelente ser humano. Nos acompañó en cada momento hasta encontrar la propiedad adecuada a nuestras necesidades.
La recomiendo ampliamente para quienes buscan más que un vendedor, una Asesora inmobiliaria.
Saul Agredano
Hello just to share the great experience I had with Marina as a first time buyer in Nuevo Vallarta for my commercial property, Marina’s expertise in this real estate market was evident from our first meeting, her effective communication was pivotal in foresting a transparent and trusting relationship and purchase transaction; I was impressed by Marina’s negotiation skills, she managed to lower the asking price and to speed up the process, besides the purchase process, Marina went above and beyond assisting me after taking position connecting me with trustful service providers, to assist in construction upgrades, renting part of the property etc; I would’t hesitate to recommend Marina, her dedication to my satisfaction was evident every step of the way, Thank you Marina I really appreciate your knowledgeable, ethical and profesional services, looking forward to do business soon in the future, Saul Agredano.
