Testimonial:

Buying property in a foreign country can be both time consuming and scary, but working with Architect Gabriela Cornelio and her husband/builder Adam Kowalski of Casa Yucatan Real Estate made it fun interesting, and educational.

My wife Nancy and I love the Northern Yucatan Peninsula, and wanted to investigate buying property there. We were referred to Gaby and Adam by another satisfied client, Sharry Palagi, and after several informative and pleasant meetings with them, purchased a villa they designed and built in Telchac Puerto in the Spring of 2007.

Not only was the villa designed and built impeccably, but Gaby helped us find an attorney, money handler and insurance agent (all of whom spoke English) who were not only invaluable assets during the transaction, but have helped us with other matters as well.

They also did some additional work on the villa to customize it, made any minor repairs we needed done after we purchased and moved into the villa, and steered us towards other contractors who provided other services when necessary to either maintain or upgrade our villa. They also helped us find furniture stores and stores to make other purchases for the villa since we were unfamiliar with the area, and how to pay for electricity, water, taxes, TV, etc. They helped us with every aspect of purchasing and maintaining our villa, so that the whole experience was a pleasure.

They also introduced us to other ex-pats who live in the area who were invaluable in
orienting us towards home ownership in the Yucatan, and who have become our friends.

Gaby and Adam are consummate professionals who enjoy doing quality work and providing exemplary help and service to their clients. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to buy land or property in the Yucatan, or who wish to design and build a home there.

Testimonial: Gabriela Cornelio and her husband Adam have been friends of mine since I met them -- I purchased one of the original Villas Telchac from them in February, 2006. There are many uncertainties to deal with when purchasing property in a foreign country, especially where the language is different than yours. I had the mistaken notion that a Mexican realtor would represent me in the sales process as they do in the states where I live. My experience was that Gabriela was there for me many times when my realtor was not. If you are considering working with or purchasing from Gabriela, I assure you that she will take care of you better than other realtors in the Yucatan. She speaks English very well, understands how intimidating it can be to conduct business in an unfamiliar environment, and will walk you through every step of the process. She has even taken the time to become certified as a realtor (even though that is not required in Mexico) in order to gain the confidence of her clients. Gabriela is warm and personable -- a delight to work with. I highly recommend that you trust her to take care of your real estate transactions. I could go on to tell you about the high standards of workmanship that Adam insists upon and how much I love Gabriela’s architectural designs but the fact that I bought my villa from them says it all.

Testimonial: My husband and I have been looking for reasonably priced beach front property for a number of years and decided to check out the north coast of the Yucatan peninsula. We had heard that the beaches were beautiful, the prices reasonable, the people friendly and the area very safe.

After travelling thru a quaint little fishing village (Telchac Puerto) we saw a sign advertising the Telchac Villas and approached a tall gentleman named Adam who turned out to be the owner/developer with his talented architect wife Gabriela.

He showed us thru the villas and we were impressed with his knowledge of construction, and his workmanship. We met with Gabriela who is from the Yucatan, is very fluent in English and were equally impressed with her knowledge of how to get things done "the Mexican way". She helped us with the Lawyer, transferring money, setting up a Mexican trust, the utilities, and where to get the best deals on furniture, house supplies etc. She helped us uncomplicate the complicated and she did it with a smile and grace. We couldn't have purchased our dream Mexican vacation home without her and Adam. 

My husband and I were leery of buying property in Mexico but Gabriela and Adam knew exactly what had to be done and made our purchase exciting, easy, and fun. We would highly recommend Gabriela and Adam when buying, designing or building a new home. We not only purchased a beautiful home on the beach in Mexico but also gained two wonderful dear friends as well. For a reference you may call us in Canada at 519-351-1008 or e-mail us at tiki@sympatico.ca. Thanks for everything Gabriela and Adam - your Canadian friends Carol Anne and Lance Babcock
