We would like to recommend Charles Thomas to anyone thinking of buying a home in San Miguel. He was always thoughtful and professional. He told us what we needed to hear, which was not always what we wanted to hear. We worked with Charles for six months during our move and his patience is unbelievable. If he thought a property we showed interest in was not for us he would tell us and explain why. Buying a home in a foreign country can be an intimidating process and Charles took most of the stress away with his willingness to answer any and all questions in a very timely manner. In our years of buying homes I believe this is the only time we did not have at least a few cross words with our realtor. We consider Charles a friend and would not consider using anyone else for any future real estate needs. Neither should anyone reading this.

Working with Charles on selling my property was a delight. Since he understood the labor of love I put into designing and building my first home in Mexico, he adeptly aided me in getting a market appraisal and took care of ensuring professional photos showcased all the attributes. His understanding of the perfect buyer for my particular property was also very insightful. From open house to closing, I could not be more pleased and grateful with the way Charles showcased and advocated my property while making it seamless for me.

It wasn't easy coming to the decision to sell our family house in Mexico. When we were ready Realty San Miguel was chosen to list the property. Charles Thomas became our representative, a nice man: thorough, experienced and very pleasant he was always attentive to our requests guiding us to the closing, a bitter sweet ending -selling, but by all accounts a success. Gracias Charles and to Realty San Miguel

I highly recommend Charles Thomas to anyone looking for a home in San Miguel De Allende. Charles has not only helped me, but has also been the agent of choice for some of my close friends and family. One of the strengths Charles possesses is his ability to pick properties with the most impressive qualities that are best suited to one's specifications for style and price. Charles takes the time out of his busy schedule to interact and understand his clients. He seems to create a clear picture of each person's lifestyle needs and then finds the perfect properties. He is a complete professional when it comes to correspondence via telephone, email and face to face. Charles has also answered tricky questions regarding financing, Mexico real estate laws, tax laws, cost of construction and remodeling issues. In addition, Charles has been a long time resident of San Miguel and is a well-respected, friendly and very well liked person within the community. It has been a joy to have Charles by my side while making such an important decision as to buy a home in San Miguel.

If you are looking for a real estate agent in San Miguel, I would highly recommend Charles Thomas. He is a true professional, and even other realtors in town were impressed when I told them who I was working with. Plus he's very personable and fun and I enjoyed spending time with him every step of the way. I always felt that Charles was on top of the process, alerting me in advance so that everything flowed smoothly. Charles' knowledge and many years of experience, meant I could relax, trusting he had everything under control. I felt we were a team and that he had my best interest at heart, both in finding the perfect house for me, and advising me to start the bidding lower than I would have, which really impressed me! Because of Charles' banking background, he was extremely helpful when it came to that part of the process, as well. And thanks to Charles, I did find an amazing, gorgeous home, in my price range! Charles, you're the best!

I've known Charles Thomas professionally for almost 30 years, first in his executive career in the San Francisco Bay Area, and then as a real estate agent in San Miguel de Allende. Charles brings an unsurpassed level of excellence to everything he undertakes. He is committed to providing top notch customer service, and in a business where integrity is everything, his honesty is unwavering. At the same time Charles is an incredible people person, balancing almost an old world charm with modern day savvy. He is not just an agent interested in closing a deal, but an advocate for his clients working to ensure that they find a place that truly suits their needs. Charles Thomas absorbs any stress of the transaction, allowing his clients to enjoy the pleasures and wonder of obtaining their new home.

When we first decided to look for a home in San Miguel we sent an email to Realty San Miguel and Charles Thomas responded. From the very beginning he was receptive to our interest and made himself readily available to view a variety of properties in the area. He was very honest and open to offering suggestions on other properties that he thought might also meet our needs. Once our property was decided upon, he remained vigilant and kept us apprised throughout the entire process until closing. He was always professional and responsive. We would recommend his services to anyone looking for the ideal home in the San Miguel area.

Charles Thomas came highly recommended and after talking with him, I gained a great deal of confidence in his marketing strategies and as well as the general way that he conducted business. The sale had a higher-than-usual level of complexity but Charles navigated the issues with calm and professionalism. I was handling the sale from Canada so I REALLY appreciated Charles´ highly efficient communication with me - emails and phone calls were always promptly returned! My house sold within a week of being listed (a highly unusual situation in SMA) and virtually at the asking price! Working with Charles Thomas was both a personal pleasure and a major business success.

Barry Plant

I’ve known Charles personally and professionally for over 20 years, both in the US and in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Charles’ business acumen as well as his social expertise and extensive knowledge of San Miguel will facilitate a wonderful experience with each client to help find the perfect home to fit their needs.

We have had the opportunity to work with Charles Thomas from Realty San Miguel twice in the last 3 years. First in February 2016, when he was the listing agent of the home we eventually purchased and, more recently, as the listing agent for the same house that we were now in the market to sell. His level of attentiveness, market awareness, follow up and general demeanor has been exemplary. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the results of his service. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase a permanent home, second home or rental property here in San Miguel de Allende. You will not be disappointed.

Stephen & Julia Brink

Charles Thomas was an absolute delight to work with as I was trying to find a home to buy in San Miguel de Allende. I had been introduced to Charles by a friend during a trip to San Miguel last spring. Although I wasn't quite ready to buy a home at that time, Charles generously introduced me to a number of neighborhoods and showed me homes that he thought would interest me. When I was ready to seriously start looking at homes, I was in California, so I worked with him via the web and email to try to find a home that would meet my long list of criteria. Charles always responded to my communication promptly and professionally as I sent him requests about homes I would find on various websites. He is an excellent listener and I felt he truly understood what I was looking for. When I found just the right home, Charles was available to answer all my questions, and expedite the process without one glitch. I highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for an honest, reliable, professional, knowledgeable -and fun- realtor.

Patty M.

You won't find another agent as professional, effective and as dedicated to your goals as Charles and you probably won't find a nicer person either. Working with Charles on several projects and transactions over the years has been an absolute pleasure. In our dealings with Charles he has been thorough, organized and always anticipated what needed to happen next so that things always went smoothly. I recommend Charles wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in San Miguel.

Great agency, great people!! They really know San Miguel de Allende. Their website is a wealth of information, also. We had an especially good experience working with Charles Thomas, both in buying a home and selling a home. He always has your back.

Stephen & Julia Brink

We worked with Charles Thomas with Realty San Miguel and purchased a fine home under his professional guidance. His goal was to make sure we made the right decision, armed with the facts of the local marketplace. His honesty and integrity made us confident buyers and happy homeowners. Highly recommended.

Randy Kremlacek

My mother and I worked with Charles Thomas after working with other realtors. He was hands above the rest and took considerable amount of time to help us navigate buying and selling in San Miguel. We couldn't have asked for more!!!!!! Thank you Charles.

Kim Robinson

We had a fabulous experience with Realty San Miguel. Our Agent Charles Thomas sold our house in 11 days. He is a true professional. We bought our house through him and had such a great experience we listed it for sale with him. Charles became our friend and a great Real estate agent.

Dick Magill

It was a great pleasure working with Reality San Miguel and Charles Thomas to sell my house in San Miguel. I have a vivid imagination but I cannot imagine a better realty experience. From deciding on the price, through the beautiful photos on the website, to the sheer professional expertise that let me know the state of play as my property was shown and the swift and smooth final closing meeting, everything was handled with care, attention to detail and competence. Charles went out of his way to make sure I understood the process every step of the way and responded rapidly to all my questions, including my after hours emails. Perhaps best of all from a seller's point of view, the house sold quickly and to lovely people.

Mary

Having known Charles since before he started working in real estate we knew he was a smart, honest, and fun person. When we decided to look for a second home in San Miguel it was not hard to start with Charles and San Miguel Realty. Buying or selling a house is typically very high on the stress scale. We were impressed with his knowledge of the ins and outs of real estate. He navigated us through the process easily and quickly. He was clear and complete in describing all the important details and the paperwork related to buying property in Mexico. He also had a good sense of what things were worth and what type of offers we should make. There were no snags. We would certainly highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in San Miguel.

It’s always wise to select the best person for the job and when it comes to real estate Charles Thomas is the agent to have represent you. When I purchased my home Charles represented the seller and it was in that setting I was introduced to him and his company Realty San Miguel. I observed the professional attention and genuine care he showed the very elderly couple which was not only impressive but unusual in a turn and burn profession. Always measured, extremely polite and completely knowledgeable on all things real estate you’ll find Charles to above all the rest. As an American who’s resided in Mexico for many years he offers a command for the language but more than that, years of experience with a reputation as the best of the best in a small town of casual and overnight real estate agents. When I elected to sell my home I was naturally inclined to use the agent that served me in buying my home but there was no doubt I would be best served to have Charles Thomas handle and represent me. I was grateful to have him hold my hand from our first meeting to the final closing which was all managed smoothly and without a hitch. By fitting me in between Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays my closing was swift and complete within two weeks and monies were in my US bank in less than 24 hours. I’m not sure any real estate agent, American or Mexican, could have handled the negotiation and final closing as efficiently, effortlessly and expertly as Charles Thomas. I can’t say enough about the company Realty San Miguel but I will forever sing the praises of the only agent I can recommend to handle your needs as an American in Mexico. If your plan is to buy or sell a home in San Miguel, don’t give it another thought, Charles Thomas is the best and safest bet!

Since we were selling our home remotely from the US, we were extremely pleased that Charles could explain the process and all the ins and outs of selling a property internationally as he helped us every step of the way. Everything went as smoothly and as quickly as we could have hoped for. We really appreciate the attention to detail Charles put into listing our property as he really got into the shoes of potential buyers and made suggestions to improve the property's appeal. He also did a great job of communicating along the way, giving us feedback from buyers and other agents. We plan to work with Charles and Realty San Miguel again in the future. Thanks!

I wish to thank Charles Thomas publicly for his pleasant and highly competent care of the real estate end of settling my sister Elena's estate in SMA. Elena became disabled well before her tragic passing and frankly, her house and property suffered from her lack of ability to care for it. Charles and two of Elena's trusted friends were able to restore her home to salable condition quickly and inexpensively. Despite a few roadblocks created by selling the home now owned by US citizen heirs, not only did the sale go off well but a fair price was obtained. I will always be grateful to Charles for his assistance in my families' time of need.

Ritchie C. Shoemaker MD

We would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the real estate service that we have received by your agent Charles Thomas during our brief visit to San Miguel de Allende. Charles promised us in an introductory meeting at your office that he would do his utmost to turn our desire to own a house in SMA into reality...and he delivered. With his help and personal guidance we were able to buy our Dream House. Working with Charles was easy and effortless, never having to apologize for asking too many questions. He worked tirelessly to make sure that we viewed all the homes in San Miguel which fit our price range and criteria, while also accommodating our limited time frame. We never felt pressured by Charles to make an offer on a property before leaving San Miguel. When we finally decided to put an offer on the perfect place that fitted our needs, he worked with us in a timely manner to make sure that all the necessary paperwork was completed before we had to leave the city. Once back home in Canada, Charles worked tirelessly in San Miguel to complete the process with and for us, never leaving anything to worry about. Charles put us in touch with a Property Manager and an Insurance Agent to make sure our home would be properly managed until we will finally arrive in San Miguel ourselves. We feel that having someone like Charles Thomas representing your real estate firm is a huge asset to your company. One would be hard pressed to find more professionalism, dedication and never wavering work ethics than Charles displayed. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Charles Thomas to anyone wanting “First Class Service'' in finding a home in San Miguel de Allende.

Debra y Andreas

It was a really good experience working with Charles Thomas. He quickly narrowed down "things we wanted" in a home. A great listener, professional, patient, sense of humor and provided resources. Charles is not only our real estate agent but is now a good friend. Thank you for all your hard work Charles.

T & K Murchie

Charles Thomas saved us so much money! We fell in love with a property that was not only beyond our budget but also priced far above Charles' assessment of the property's current market value. We were tempted to offer more than we wanted to pay, but Charles convinced us to make a lower offer and his strategy worked! We are now the proud owners of the house we so desperately wanted, and we're using the cash we saved on the purchase price to make a few improvements to the house. In addition to being a shrewd negotiator and strategist, Charles also has a great eye for aesthetics. Most of the modifications we are making to the house were his great ideas! We are very proud to recommend him.

Lisa Tyson Sandefer

Working with Charles Thomas was a delight! He was extremely thorough, and easily walked us through the process of selling our home here in San Miguel. He’s charming and knowledgeable about the ups and downs of selling a home here and was always honest and up front with us. He’s also a very nice, unassuming guy...so that’s a plus as well. We would use him again!

John Schwoebel

Working with Tamara and Charles to sell my father’s home in San Miguel was an exceptional experience. Tamara took the lead in marketing the property, and within a month of the listing, we had a solid contract. There were several complexities I faced in navigating an international real estate transaction, and both Tamara and Charles were able to professionally address all of my questions and concerns very quickly. Over the years, I’ve worked with many real estate professionals in the United States, and I can safely say that working with Tamara and Charles at Realty San Miguel was, without question, one of the best experiences I’ve had in the real estate business.

Randy K.

My husband and I would like to recommend our Real Estate Agent, Charles Thomas to anyone who may be looking for real estate in San Miguel de Allende. We had the most pleasant experience with him. He’s very professional and very personable. His knowledge of the city and the real estate in our price range was wonderful. We feel his follow through was right on. He answered all our questions and helped us with necessary professionals we needed before and after closing. We will be happy to recommend him to our friends and family. Not only do we have an excellent Realtor we feel we have made a great friend in Charles.

Alyce and Richard

We purchased our home in San Miguel de Allende with the great help of Charles Thomas. He was always available to us and helped us through some hurdles along the way. I would recommend his services and this agency to anyone looking for a home in San Miguel. We now call San Miguel home and are thankful we found Charles to help make that happen.

J.M.

We could not be more pleased with Charles Thomas’ services as our realtor. From the day he came to talk with us and see our home until he last paper was signed he couldn’t have done anything better. As we owned our house for 17 years, we had no idea how much to ask for it. He gave us what we considered a fair price and we went with it. Two days after it was put online, two people came to see it and we had two full price offers! He guided us through every step and as we had no previous experience selling real estate in Mexico, we needed it. He also went above and beyond, giving us the name of a moving company, the name of a driver who could take us and our dog to the U.S., and a veterinarian for a health certificate for the dog. We have sold four houses in the U.S. and never had such complete (and rapid) experience. Charles, we appreciate your help and guidance.

Chuck & Jean Yeager

We recently sold our home in San Miguel de Allende. We chose Charles Thomas with Realty San Miguel as our agent due to his vast experience and knowledge of the local market as well as his charming personality. Charles took us quickly and seamlessly through the selling process to a successful outcome. We highly recommend Charles to anyone looking to sell a home.

Denise and Glan Evans

I had the pleasure of working with Charles Thomas when we purchased our home in Rancho Los Labradores. Charles was very professional, attentive, and made us feel comfortable with every step of the process. Additionally, we have been welcomed to San Miguel by the staff at Realty San Miguel on several occasions. I would recommend using Realty San Miguel to anyone considering purchasing property in San Miguel.
