I had a very good experience looking for the house I would call home in San Miguel, with the help of the charming and intelligent mother/daughter team of Gloria and Jessica. Their patience was endless and we became good friends as they tried to understand my needs and just what I was looking for in a home. I never felt pressured and looked forward to our daily meetings, often for the pleasure of their company. Philip Hardcastle is fortunate to have them as members of his team of professionals.

I recently completed a transaction with Realty San Miguel. I worked with Jessica Avendaño. She is truly a professional and a lovely human being. The process was forthright, honest, and speedy. I felt in good, solid hands throughout the entire sale and remain very pleased. Thank you so much!

When I was ready to put my home up for sale, neighbors and friends highly recommended Philip Hardcastle's agency as being honest, knowledgeable, and sincere in their efforts in representing your property. So I signed with them, as an exclusive listing, and never thought twice about giving my listing to additional agencies. I truly lucked out in having Ms. Jessica as my agent! As a non-Spanish speaking American, I found Jessica to be adept at interfacing with both the Mexican and American communities, a quality not all agents possess. Her enthusiasm for living in San Miguel was evident and her professional demeanor was appreciated. She served as my Power of Attorney when my home sold, and she was totally competent in handling the complicated legalities. What else can I say....Realty San Miguel made the whole process much easier, and pleasant, than it would normally have been.

In my business career I have earned a reputation for being hard to please. I demand honesty, patience, a strong work ethic, competence, and a pleasant outlook and attitude. Jessica demonstrated all of these traits as she successfully marketed our condo in El Encanto. The result was a very satisfactory outcome for us, and we are most appreciative. We would strongly recommend your firm, and Jessica in particular, to anyone wanting to buy or sell property in San Miguel. I would like to congratulate you for having an agent of such high quality, and wish you continued success. Sincerely,

Mike Dodd

Since the onset we had excellent service. Philip -who understands construction- contributed his vast knowledge and professionalism when evaluating the quality of the construction and its market value. In as much as the actual sale, Jessica found the right client for our house and the right house for her client. She was very thorough with processing the sale and following up with all the sales details for both buyer and seller. She is incredibly efficient and patient. All in all, you are a very service oriented group. Thank you for all your valuable assistance

It is delightful to comment on the experience I have had with Gloria Farias and Jessica Avendaño. Over the last 10 years they have always supported me at any time with everything related to sales, rentals, negotiations, and general advice on services related to the maintenance and management of my properties. Their knowledge of property values and related services has undoubtedly helped me remain competitive in the market with products that offer a proper cost-benefit ratio. In a highly competitive market like San Miguel de Allende, having them as a notable difference: it reduces the downtime of properties to achieve the best possible profitability and positions you to sell your products and services at the best price.

We recently bought a house in San Miguel de Allende. Gloria Farias and Jessica Avendaño were the Real Estate Agents we chose and our experience couldn't be better. When you live in another country, you are totally relying on that person to do the procedures to acquire a property. It is very important to find the right people. Gloria Farías and Jessica Avendaño are characterized, first, by their professionalism, and above all by their availability at all times for any questions, doubts and recommendations that arise in the process. You can fully trust them. We highly recommend Gloria and Jessica. In addition to the fact that the purchase process was carried out without any setbacks, they helped us later to rent our property. So whether it is to acquire a property, or rent, they are the perfect team.

We loved working with Jessica. She knew half the people in town and even the most obscure streets, plus she seemed tireless in showing both RSM listings as well as all of the others we asked for. She worked very well with the other realtors who accompanied us to their listings. Her English is flawless, and I also appreciated speaking Spanish with her and her coaching. We enjoyed Gloria, who seemed to be the most plugged in woman in town. We loved being able to also work with Philip. His knowledge of the business, buildings and structures, laws and key people were invaluable to us in processing our transaction. The recommendation we received from friends for him was absolutely correct. If it weren’t for Philip, Jessica, Gloria, Lucero and RSM, we would not be homeowners in SMA today. We are just delighted with the ease of the process, not to mention with our new home.

I wasn't thinking of buying a house in San Miguel, but saw an ad in Atención and requested a showing out of general curiosity. Jessica Avendaño showed me the property and in one meeting understood enough about me to then show me a perfect dream house to suit my personality the following week. She then competently guided me through all the steps needed to make that home my own with great efficiency, knowledge and professionalism. I was comfortable even with the unfamiliar process and contracts because she has a special knowledge of the local people, customs and business practices as well as a remarkable ability in English and knowledge of U.S. business practices. It was reassuring too, to have the expertise of Philip Hardcastle available for second opinions and technical questions. It is obvious when you meet him that he is a valuable resource to have in a Real Estate transaction. The whole team was constantly available, responsive and reliable. In my years of selling Real Estate on the pricey West Side of Los Angeles, I have not seen a better organization or agent than Realty San Miguel and Jessica Avendaño and I would not do Real Estate in San Miguel without them. I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to work with them and I am certain that they will be wonderful for you, too.

I have nothing but praise for Jessica. From the very first day, she was professional, friendly, helpful and always willing to go out of her way to accommodate my needs. I wasn't present in San Miguel but I could trust that she would be in control and act in my best interest. She was always responsive and prompt in communication with me. She was knowledgeable about the market and prospective buyers, as well as the laws. Even though my house was on the market for over two years, I felt that Jessica was working hard to find a buyer for me and I felt confident that she would. She also handled the closing very efficiently and professionally. Last, but not least, she comes across as a very caring, considerate and calm person, it was a pleasure to work with her. I already recommended her to a friend in San Miguel. Thank you,
