A pleased Client writes:
"I came to San Miguel looking for a new home and a fresh start, confused as to how to begin, and also carrying a hefty skepticism of realtors based on previous experience. When a friend introduced me to Patricia Merrill, I felt like Cinderella, with my bumbling and skeptical pumpkin transformed to a hospitable and efficient carriage by this fairy godmother of the real estate world. With her help, I found my dream home within two days. Thanks to her skills, I sailed through securing a cost-effective deal, handling an expedient closing, and getting myself moved in sooner than I could ever have hoped on my own.
"Patricia has a rare and bountiful blend of talents which not only streamlined my search for a home but also helped me to understand Mexico and San Miguel. Having divided her life between Mexico and the United States, she has an understanding of both cultures and an intelligent perception of the differences between them. With no perceptible effort, she communicates this information, so that I felt as if I had received a free course in Transitioning to a Mexican Lifestyle. She is more than bilingual, as she also understands the subtle innuendos of local usage and social graces. Therefore, although I am also bilingual, I learned many refinements of navigating Mexican social and business settings from Patricia. Having invested many years in the business milieu of San Miguel, she provides instant access to a myriad of services related to the needs of a home buyer.
"I have recommended her as a buyer's broker many times, and will continue to do so at every opportunity."

This is a letter of enthusiastic commendation for Buyers Broker Patricia Merrill and the work she has done for us as we purchased and moved into a home in San
Miguel:
From the first meeting with Patricia we were impressed with her genuine interest in us and our desires regarding a home. We appreciated her flexibility in selling us the lower unit of the building we were considering so that we could have the full complement of rooms and possibilities for living that we wanted. We found the price for the two units fair as well as the arrangements we made with Patricia for our initial payment and subsequent final payment.
The fact that Patricia is both bi-lingual and bi-cultural was an enormous help to us. We could understand all the proceedings, and also receive an education in Mexican culture at the same time. Patricia’s understanding of the ins and outs of Mexican culture, the real estate business and also the construction trades and legal requirements regarding employees and other issues has been tremendously beneficial. She is very generous with her time and her advice.
We are pleased and impressed with the detailed accounting information she gave, and still gives us, regarding our housing complex and the expenses of items necessary for living here. We have experienced Patricia Merrill as a person of high integrity.
Patricia was a very responsible agent for us, carefully taking care of our property in San Miguel while we sold our condominium in San Diego and prepared for the move to San Miguel. We are grateful for some special details, such as having the outside staircase painted and new plants put in the planters on the street side of the building.
The house we purchased was built by Patricia in her capacity as architect and has so many excellent details for easier living, plus being very solidly constructed.
We highly recommend Patricia Merrill as an architect, builder, buyers broker, and real estate and rental agent. We are very grateful we found her and experienced, and still experience, her excellent services in making our move to and living in San Miguel de Allende easy and very happy.
Sincerely,
REV. NANCY ANDERSON and OWEN THOMAS
So many visitors wind up buying Mexico real estate in San Miguel de Allende.
They may come with a mission or they may simply see what so many others before them have seen. A town steeped in colonial history, bubbling with an indefinable romance on every cobblestoned street. A place to re-invent themselves and welcoming of the new adventure. A distinctly Mexican town in its warmth, yet, oddly worldly and cosmopolitan in its culture.
But, romantic notions aside, when it comes time to look into a second home, a retirement home, or a primary residence for the rest of your life, you need HELP. You will need someone who can watch out for you, who speaks both Spanish and English equally fluently. You will need a person like Patricia Merrill Marquez, one of the first professional commercial and residential property agents in San Miguel. Patricia now specializes as a "Buyer's Broker," while continuing to have listings of her own and sharing listings with other members of AMPI (Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals). Patricia is in a position by choice to truly put YOU and your preferences First.
You will need an experienced hand at wading into the very different Mexican system and requirements for buying a Mexican home, especially as a resident of another country. And Patricia Merrill Marquez was born in San Miguel de Allende, but educated in Massachusetts until becoming an architect in Guanajuato. Of an American father and Mexican mother who is also a native of San Miguel, Patricia understands both cultures intimately.
Patricia can show you almost any house you want to see, or suggest some properties. As an architect and builder she can evaluate a property along technical standards. As a longtime resident, she can tell you her opinion of a property as an investment vehicle and its chances of appreciating over the years. And when it is time to make an offer Patricia is absolutely invaluable in translation service, negotiations with all parties, securing the most reliable attorneys in town, and taking care of all legal requirements.
You will need a trustworthy, proven, absolutely reliable friend on your side to steer you smoothly through the sometimes confusing path to acquiring investment or retirement property in San Miguel.
