Donner & Associates (Main Office)

Experiencia fantástica: Derek was super helpful in helping me find and tour properties within my price range. he went above and beyond setting up the viewings to work with my schedule, and even drove me around town which was very nice in the summer. this was my first home purchase and i had many questions, Derek and the team made it all very simple for me. would highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: MEET KIM KUZMA!!! REALTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE!! Kim came to me highly recommended as my Partner knew her for the last 20 years. Once we saw the condo online and we fell in love with, Kim made the process seamless. Starting with video viewing, to inspections and making sure all the defects are corrected by the Seller, to negotiations and finally to undertaking the notarization process!! She is not just a realtor, but a true professional and a wonderful and genuine human being. She goes over and beyond the mere task of real estate. I would close my eyes and trust her!! She is the best!! Thanks Kim for making our PV dream come true!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the wonderful fortune to have Kim Kuzma of Donner and Associates be my relator in selling a 5 bedroom villa in Alta Vista. She went above and beyond when it came to getting the large property sold and because I was in the states at the time she was able stay on top of bills and other things that I was unable to do. Kim spent a lot of time and energy to make the villa look the best that it ever had, so much so that when I saw the pictures that were used for the sale of the property I distinctly remember a feeling of gratitude towards her as well as being impressed with her interior and exterior decorative abilities. She spent so much time and energy weeding the gardens, cleaning and rearranging furniture and she kept me up to date on everything from showings to paying bills and answering all questions and concerns that I had . She talked me out of lowering the price several times assuring it would sell for a lot more than I was expecting and thankfully I listened to her. I can’t overstate how glad I was and am that I did listen to her advice in this regard. Kim is also just a fun wonderful and beautiful soul that made working with her a pleasurable experience . Thank you Kim for everything! I am convinced that all future clients will have their exceptions met and exceeded working with you .

Experiencia fantástica: After purchasing my first condo with a different realtor, working with Dean was a dream come true. In that prior transaction, I was unable to attend the closing and never received my deed — it was Dean who finally tracked it down for me, four years later. Meeting Dean was a blessing. At the time, he was working as a property manager for a rental company, and his professional, steady, and competent style put my anxieties to rest. So when I decided to sell, choosing him as my realtor was a no-brainer — and once again, he exceeded my expectations. He guided me through the sale seamlessly, then found me a new property that wasn’t even listed yet. He understands me so well that he knew instantly it was the right place for me. I recommend Dean without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! That's how I would describe our experience with Kim Kuzma. We sold our beloved first purchase here and purchased another home. Both transactions were seamless. She was on top of everything every step of the way. She takes great pride in what she does and understands how emotional and challenging it can get during the process. She really goes above and beyond...Her calm and steady guidance was reassuring. After the transaction, the service doesn't end... helping us with transitioning all the services as well. I'm so happy we decided to put our trust in our dear friend.! Jay and Stephen

Experiencia fantástica: Kim was our agent on the purchase of our Gringo Gulch home. Kim did a fantastic job through the whole process. She listened to our needs: wanting to live here full time, to be near the vibrant heart of Zona Romántica but not in it, and someplace walkable where we wouldn't nesesarily need a car. She found several homes that fit those criteria and our budget and we settled on a beautiful home on the Cuale River. She educated and guided us through our first home purchase in México and was proactive and responsive throughout the process. After the purchase she was following up with assistance on getting the CFE and Seapal(Water) bills moved over into our names, and getting the deed to the property. She has a long history here and is a good resource for where to go to get what you need and is always available to help. We would definitely use Kim again!

Experiencia fantástica: We are so grateful for the outstanding job Manny (Emanuel Reyes Gonzales) did as our realtor during our Mexico property purchase. As first-time buyers abroad, we had plenty of apprehension, but Manny was always understanding, patient, and attentive to our wants and needs. He answered our questions quickly, and when more information was needed, he was diligent in finding the correct answers for us. We truly appreciate his guidance and support, and we now consider him not only a trusted realtor, but also a friend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great job and amazing people. Went above and beyond in their efforts to sell my home. Would highly recommend my guy Manny and his team

Experiencia fantástica: Kim is an AMAZING Real Estate Agent! She knows EVERYTHING there is to know about Zona Romantica and the surrounding areas. That includes just about everyone that works and lives there! She is a loved and unique part of the community. She'll be straight with you. She asks all the right questions and if there is something she does not know, yet, she'll find out and get back to you. Her attention to details, her genuine care and professionalism make her the ONLY choice to represent you when home shopping in PV. And can she sing!

Experiencia fantástica: Kim Kuzma was fantastic to work with when selling our condo in Puerto Vallarta and helping us in our search for a new home. She is responsive, professional, personable, and always punctual, with attention to detail and follow-through. Kim consistently kept us informed throughout the process and made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible—we highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Kim Kuzma at Donner & Assoc. was fantastic. Her experience, energy and professionalism guided us through a very complicated international real estate transaction which was a massive headache in terms of navigating bureaucracies in both Mexico and the US. Her team at Donner & Associates also stepped in to support us expertly at different points. We felt so grateful for their guidance and help. Kim is also just lots of fun with tons of positive spirit. So even when you're overwhelmed with whatever is happening with your real estate situation, she brings a bright warm light to the situation. Side note: Kim's also a professional singer who is extremely talented!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ll start right off by saying that working with Jose Escobar and Donner & Asociados has been an absolute delight from beginning to end. From the moment we started working with Jose he has been ABSOLUTELY amazing. Jose is VERY thorough and professional and is on top of his game. He takes his job very seriously but is very friendly and easy to work with as well. He’s very communicative, responsive and truly takes good care of his clients. To say how grateful we are to have the privilege of having Jose as our realtor in Puerto Vallarta is an understatement. He has gone above and beyond anything we would’ve expected in a working relationship because not only has he helped navigate this whole buying process, which in itself was a HUGE help, but he also has helped coordinate all of the venders and services we needed for our new home. From finding the service professionals we needed, to making the calls and facilitating the communication between us since we don’t speak Spanish so well just yet, to meeting our venders for appointments when we were out of the country. I mean, I could go on and on about how positive our experience has been with Jose and how grateful we are for him because we could not have done any of this without all of his help and efforts.

Experiencia fantástica: Professional, communicative, respectful and friendly. My agent was Adrian Jackson and he did an absolutely wonderful job from start to finish.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Kim Kuzma at Donner & Associates during our search for a condo in Puerto Vallarta. From the very beginning, Kim took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. She was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and never pushy. Buying property in another country can feel daunting, but Kim's guidance, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the Puerto Vallarta market made the entire experience seamless and genuinely enjoyable. Thanks to Kim, we found our dream Zona Romantica condo. What really sets her apart is that her support didn't end when the transaction closed. She has continued to be an invaluable resource, connecting us with trusted local professionals, helping us navigate the many details of owning a home in PV, and always making herself available when we need advice or guidance. Most importantly, Kim has an ability to build genuine relationships. She wasn't just our realtor; she became our sounding board and ultimately a friend. We continue to stay in touch, and whenever we need help, she's always there. We're incredibly grateful to Kim and the team at Donner. We love our condo and couldn't be happier with our purchase. When the time comes for our next PV real estate move, Kim and the team at Donner & Associates will be our first call. I can't recommend them enough.

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give Kim 100 stars instead of 5, I would! Buying a condo in Puerto Vallarta was one of the best decisions I've made, and working with Kim Kuzma made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. From our very first conversation, Kim was incredibly pleasant, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right property. She was always patient with my questions, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made sure I understood every step. Her knowledge of the Puerto Vallarta real estate market gave me confidence that I was making the right decision, and I never felt pressured—only supported. What really sets Kim apart is how easy she is to work with. She's friendly, responsive, honest, and truly cares about her clients. Even after the purchase was complete, she continued to offer guidance and assistance, which speaks volumes about her commitment. If you're looking to buy or sell property in Puerto Vallarta, I can't recommend Kim Kuzma highly enough. She made buying my condo a wonderful experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. Thank you, Kim!

Experiencia fantástica: Kim is AMAZING, Worked her tail off to prepare and market this home, spent hours, spent her own money.. and sold for an amazing price.. GREAT JOB!! THANK YOU KIM!!

Experiencia fantástica: On our visits to Ryan Donner and Associates. We have always been pleased with the professionalism of the entire staff. We have worked with Kim Kuzma and she always offers sound real estate advice. She has been living in Puerto Vallarta for many years and offers a wealth of information.

Experiencia fantástica: Donner & Associates was recommended by a friend who raved about his experience purchasing a Puerto Vallarta condominium. Our Donner agent was Eric Montero. He is knowledgeable about the market, pleasant and patient. Eric is a good advisor, promptly returns calls and emails; promptly provides detailed answers to your questions. Never rushed, he showed us the properties we wanted to see and enabled us to efficiently identify what a property needed to satisfy our needs. We are happy with the condo we purchased! After the documents were signed and we had taken possession, Eric has continued to "go the second mile." We sincerely appreciate his help with the utilities and his advice in establishing Temporary Foreign Residency to possibly reduce future Mexican capital gain taxes. Dale Kraai

Experiencia fantástica: We met many different realtors while shopping for a house in PV. They were all great, however Miriam Flores immediately stood out as the best choice. Her insight with the local market helped us quickly narrow down our options. She gave us a terrific tour of multiple houses in one day, requiring several hours of driving all over the area. Including one at the end of a rough gravel road. During our tour we were joined by her coworker Jose Escobar, listing agent for the last house we visited. Having the two together was very helpful and they worked together seamlessly to create a great shopping experience. Jose was very knowledgeable as well and their teamwork gave us a lot of confidence in Donner and Associates. Communication was effortless, Miriam and Jose were able to freely switch between Spanish and English, enabling us to easily understand each step in the process. She was also very attentive to our conversations even after we left the country and continued working to find us more possible houses to consider. Once we settled on a choice, she was able to negotiate the price and terms of the sale easily and kept us informed on a daily basis of the progress. She worked to find all the necessary individual contractors; like the notary, bank, attorney, insurance, etc needed to get things done. She was very focused on helping find the best service and competitive rates for each. After the closing, Miriam has continued to assist us with many other things. Even waiting in line with us for hours at the utility company to help us get a new account started. We have had many experiences buying real estate and had no idea what to expect buying in a foreign country. Fortunately, things have gone very well for us and we are very excited about our new home. Miriam Flores is an asset to her company and we will highly recommend her and the entire team at Donner & Associates for real estate needs in Mexico.

Experiencia fantástica: We had excellent experience with Dean Malone at Donner and Associates from start to finish in searching for our new home in Puerto Vallarta. Dean was patient, thorough, responded to our questions and showed us appropriate properties which matched our search criteria. Eventually, we found the perfect place, somewhere we had not known about even though we’ve been coming to Puerto Vallarta for many years. Dean was very patient and let us step-by-step through the purchasing process, and he helped us connect with the appropriate professionals needed to make this transaction for us as Canadians. We’ve never experienced this thoroughness before with a real estate agent, and felt very well taken care of. Nuances of Mexican real estate seem to be his forté and he with his team made the process easy to navigate from start to finish. We highly recommend him. He is professional, respectful, kind and very knowledgeable. He definitely makes you feel like a priority.

Experiencia fantástica: We had to sell a family member’s condo in Puerto Vallarta and Dean Malone was recommended by a neighbor. We could not have been happier with that recommendation! Dean was a true real estate professional and very nice person to work with. He did a great job keeping us informed throughout the sale process and provided strategy and guidance along the way. Since we live outside of Mexico, Dean was kind enough to hire cleaners/movers to make sure the condo was marketable, along with providing legal contacts to help close the transaction. Dean was so patient throughout the entire process, answering many real estate and marketing questions and providing solid pricing guidance as well. Dean showed that he truly cared about us and the sale. He made the entire process so smooth. It was a pleasure to work with Dean and we would happily recommend him to any buyer or seller in the PV market.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Dean was a fantastic experience! He helped us navigate the complexities of purchasing an investment condo in Mexico with ease. His connections and market knowledge made the transaction stress-free. Dean is honest, professional, and a tough negotiator who ensured we got a great deal. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a smooth real estate experience in Puerto Vallarta!

Experiencia fantástica: So very pleased with Dean Malone and the service he provided in selling our condo in PV. His knowledge of Mexican real estate law was extremely helpful in guiding us through the tedious and complicated process we were faced with. I would highly recommend his services.

Experiencia fantástica: Adrian Jackson’s knowledge and professionalism made the sale of my condo at the Loft 268 seamless and easy. He is second to none.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m a volunteer with Friends of Puerto Vallarta Animals. I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you sincerely for your generous donation. We couldn’t function without donations such as yours. I’m also a property owner in Puerto Vallarta. Should I ever think ofselling/ buying, I will be glad to use your services. Thank you again.

Experiencia fantástica: We recently took delivery of our apartment in Zona Romántica with the help of Real Estate Agent Dean Malone of Donner & Associates, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Referred by friends, Dean guided us through every step of the process with patience and clarity—especially important as we navigated a new system and language barrier while purchasing a property still under construction. He made what could have been stressful feel smooth and manageable. At delivery, Dean and his assistant, Darren Stolz, carefully reviewed every detail of the apartment to ensure any issues were addressed by the developers. What truly set Dean apart was the care he showed even after the purchase. Dean helped us select appliances, coordinated installation, and had the place thoroughly cleaned so we arrived to a home that was completely ready. Beyond the purchase itself, Dean shared invaluable advice and wisdom about living in Mexico that helped us feel confident and at home. We are incredibly grateful. Dean and Darren are a fantastic team—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. We recommend them wholeheartedly!

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding experience-from the marketing strategy to the closing! I certainly do not regret hiring the Donner Duo (Kevin Anthony, Dean Malone and their fabulous team) to assist me with selling my condo in Conchas Chinas. I was kept informed every step of the way and they handled all details with professionalism and care. I was quite impressed. Selling a home can be stressful, but they made the process very smooth and manageable. If you want efficient, responsive and dedicated professionals, I highly recommend the Donner Duo for your real estate needs. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: We had an incredible experience working with Dean Malone in Puerto Vallarta. He was honest, straightforward, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how easy and enjoyable he made everything and he’s not only professional, but also genuinely fun to work with. We always felt well-informed and confident in every decision. Highly recommend Dean to anyone looking to buy or sell in PV

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic! I am a licensed Managing Broker in Washington so I knew we’d be picky finding the right broker for our new home purchase in Puerto Vallarta. Jose Escobar with Donner & Associates was our perfect match. Jose is a detail-oriented, hard working real estate professional. His excellent communication skills in both English and Spanish helped us navigate the complex process of purchasing a home in Mexico. We would certainly work with him again!

Experiencia fantástica: Derek Carkner was an absolute pleasure to work with on my pre-construction purchase in Puerto Vallarta. From start to finish, he kept me thoroughly informed and consistently advocated on my behalf when dealing with the builder and developer. He truly went above and beyond expectations, securing numerous additional amenities and providing invaluable peace of mind throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Derek to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy realtor who can confidently navigate Mexican bureaucracy. His fluency in both English and Spanish made the experience seamless.

Experiencia fantástica: I have nothing but positive things to say about working with Oscar Michel, an agent with Donner & Associates. We had first listed our condo in Puerto Vallarta with another agency, but after nearly a year, there were few showings and zero offers. We decided to re-list with Donner & Associates and, with Oscar's professional help and admirable dedication, we accepted an offer within 30 days of re-listing. I highly recommend Oscar, and, if or when we need additional real estate expertise, he'll be the first person we contact.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. It’s great to work with experienced professionals.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an exceptional experience with the entire Donner team, and Oscar. He helped us find our home in Conchas Chinas while we were still in the States and recently an investment property. He was very attentive, always responded quickly and with his knowledge of the market and forgein buyers, he made the process painless.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the absolute pleasure of working with Derek Carkner to buy a property about an hour outside PV. Derek was phenomenal, exceeding all my expectations. I've worked with several real estate professionals over the years back in the States, and I've never had someone who was as easy to work with, honest, and helpful, as Derek. He bent over backwards to accommodate my travel schedule, he answered my questions, he communicated well with the seller's agent, and he walked me through the entire process through closing (and even after). Derek and Donner and Associates overall was great to work with, and I'd highly recommend him to any of my friends and family!

Experiencia fantástica: Derek is awesome and EXCEEDS expectations. He can be trusted and knows the area very well.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely would recommend Derek for another real estate transaction. He was very organized, available within a moments notice. Very easy to communicate with and knowledgeable about every thing that goes along with a real estate transaction. Also because this was being done in Mexico, and we are from USA, it adds some more complications with the process. There were no surprises, and deal was done with the utmost professionalism.

Experiencia fantástica: How do we begin to sing the praises of our agent, Kim Kusma? Let’s start with her market knowledge. Kim helped us home in on the area of PVR that best suited our vision for a vacation home. She knows all of the neighborhoods very well. Then there’s Kim’s professionalism and ease of communication, making our buying experience so smooth. Lastly, Kim’s personalized service is above all expectations. She made so many great suggestions and held our hands throughout the entire process. We’re proud of our new home and grateful that we made a life long friend at the same time! Thank you , Kim!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband Greg and I just closed last week on a condo in Puerto Vallarta. We had a wonderful experience working with our realtor Kim Kuzma; she came highly recommended. From our first meeting to our closing, Kim was always there to guide us through the process. We trusted her immediately. She was very professional and always knew the right questions to ask & answers to give. Her experience and knowledge made us feel confident that we were in very good hands. We both enjoyed working with Kim because she always gave us her full attention. She was a joy to work with and made the process very easy. Kim really went above and beyond! We highly recommend Kim & the Donner and Associates team.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding Service and Expertise! Working with Adrian Jackson on our real estate purchase in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Buying property internationally can feel overwhelming, but Adrian made the entire process seamless. His deep knowledge of the local market, combined with his professionalism, patience, and attention to detail, gave us complete peace of mind. Adrian went above and beyond—guiding us through every step, answering all our questions, and ensuring we felt confident in our decisions. He was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cared about helping us find the right property. Thanks to him, we found our perfect home away from home! If you’re considering buying property in Mexico, I highly recommend Adrian. You won’t find a more dedicated or trustworthy real estate professional. — Very satisfied client ⸻ Would you like a more casual version or one written for a specific platform like Google or Zillow?

Experiencia fantástica: Derek Carkner was my listing agent. The listing was very professional and well presented with beautiful photos and drone video footage showcasing the property. The open house was well executed with cut fresh flowers, refreshments and some snacks. Showings were also well executed with advanced notification. The sale paperwork and closing were all done remotely with Derek providing excellent support and communication. I highly recommend Derek and Ryan Donner Realty.

Experiencia fantástica: We have been coming to Puerto Vallarta for years. A friend recommended Donner and Associates. We looked for a place one year and was unable to buy. When we were finally in a position to purchase property, Alain Verret assisted us with finding a condo we are very happy with. He showed us different locations and different types of condos. He was very patient and professionally guided us to a suitable location and purchase point. He thoroughly explained the process and answered numerous questions throughout the process. He also helped with the delivery of our unit and recommended stores and interior designers. I would highly recommend Alain Verret as a realtor for anyone looking to purchase property in Puerto Vallarta. He is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently purchased a condominium in Puerto Vallarta, in the La Jolla condo complex. My realtor was Sasha Karaliova and I cannot say enough positive things about her as a professional realtor. Ms. Karaliova kept me informed throughout the entire process. She is a fabulous communicator and an extremely gracious person. Additionally, I was unfamiliar with Mexican real estate laws, which she successfully navigated me through to closing. When investing in a foreign country, you want the expertise of a highly skilled person who knows and understands every component of the procedure. I have bought and sold many homes in my 65 years on earth and Sasha is by far the most competent realtor I have encountered to date. Best. Tim Wood.

Experiencia fantástica: Derek was a pleasure to work with! Cannot recommend more highly. For someone that is new to Mexico it was great to have Derek's wealth of knowledge and contacts in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you so much Jonathan for making my dream become true! After traveling for 21 countries some of them over three times, I found a piece heaven in Puerto Vallarta. Jonathan Anderson from Ryan & Donner did a fantastic seamless job. I got the keys 40 days after making an offer. I never bought in Mexico and didn't know the process, I was a little nervous at the beginning when sending a deposit, but Johnathan made the process so easy and seamless, Jonathan worked so hard to find the perfect place for me on my budget, He stayed always in contact, his professionalism, hard work and punctuality was always an amazing experience, his honesty and genuine personality didn't make me worry at all after sending the initial payment, Escrow delayed few because seller had health problems and needed a a power of attorney. Now I have the keys of a property in the place I loved the most of all my travels, I couldn't be happier. Thank you and thank you Johnathan !!! I love Puerto Vallarta so much!! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Derek was an outstanding real estate agent to work with, I cannot recommend him enough! He was proactive, insightful, strategic, a very nice person to work with, and he got us a terrific offer in record time. Buying or selling property in Puerto Vallarta can be daunting. There’s a lot of things to know, and it is vital you work with somebody who knows what they’re doing, has experience in doing it, and a successful. Derek is that agent, the agent you want to work with because you want peace of mind and you want to make sure you have a trusted resource that’s working in your best interest and delivers. I wholeheartedly recommend Derek because in all my dealings with him he never left me hanging, he responded to and guided me no matter the time of day, and I felt safe. His service levels are top-notch, and he is just great person who is wonderful to work with. There are many choices of realtors but I’m telling you choose Derek and Donner & Associates, and you will be in the best hands possible! Thank you Derek, I’m so grateful we found you, because ultimately you delivered way beyond my expectations which are super high! Thank you!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Mi experiencia vendiendo mi primer departamento en Puerto Vallarta Hace unos días viví un momento muy especial: la venta de mi primer departamento. Este lugar lo adquirí el 6 de mayo de 2022, cuando tenía 20 años, con la ilusión de invertir en un patrimonio propio en esta hermosa ciudad. Sin embargo, después de un tiempo, decidí que era momento de venderlo y comencé a buscar apoyo para hacerlo realidad. Después de varios intentos, mi camino se cruzó con Oscar y Brandon, dos agentes inmobiliarios con una visión clara y una energía contagiosa. Comencé a trabajar con ellos el 31 de julio de 2024, y desde ese momento supe que estaba en las mejores manos. Tenían un objetivo claro: vender la propiedad en el menor tiempo posible, ya que además de buscar cerrar un buen trato, yo necesitaba liberarme de la hipoteca. Desde el inicio, se involucraron al máximo. Conocieron cada detalle de la unidad, el condominio y los alrededores; desarrollaron un plan estratégico y se encargaron de preparar un open house impecable. Su profesionalismo se reflejó en la calidad de las fotos, videos y publicaciones que realizaron, además de coordinar múltiples visitas al departamento. El esfuerzo dio frutos el 22 de noviembre de 2024, un viernes por la noche, cuando llegó la primera oferta. Oscar y Brandon no solo la gestionaron, sino que la renegociaron para que fuera favorable para ambas partes. Finalmente, el sábado 23 de noviembre acepté una oferta con la que me sentí satisfecho, y continuamos con el proceso de promesa de compra-venta. Pero aquí descubrí algo que no sabía: recibir una oferta es solo el principio. Desde ese punto en adelante hubo muchos procesos complejos, como abrir una cuenta escrow, gestionar el fideicomiso de los compradores extranjeros, tramitar la exención del ISR, cubrir gastos notariales, cancelar la hipoteca, y hasta la transferencia de servicios. En cada paso, Oscar y Brandon estuvieron ahí, acompañándome, explicándome todo con paciencia y claridad, y asegurándose de que todo fluyera sin contratiempos. Finalmente, el 24 de enero de 2025, logramos cerrar el trato en la Notaría 2. Ese día, los compradores se fueron felices con su nueva inversión, y yo, con una sensación indescriptible al haber alcanzado un sueño que nació cuando apenas tenía 20 años. Para celebrarlo, no podía faltar una comida que inmortalizara ese momento tan significativo. Hoy, al mirar hacia atrás, solo puedo sentir gratitud. Gracias a Oscar y Brandon, este proceso no solo fue exitoso, sino también una experiencia de aprendizaje y crecimiento.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure of working with Kim Kuzma and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Kim was incredibly knowledgeable and provided valuable insights throughout the entire process. She was not only well-informed about the market but also took the time to explain every step of the journey, ensuring I felt confident and comfortable with every decision. Kim's organization and attention to detail were top-notch, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I always knew what to expect, and Kim was quick to address any questions or concerns. Most importantly, I found her to be trustworthy and dedicated to my best interests, which made me feel at ease throughout. I highly recommend Kim Kuzma to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and skilled real estate agent. She truly went above and beyond to make my experience exceptional!

Experiencia fantástica: Dean Malone is nothing short of amazing. He walked us through each step of the process of selling Realestate in Mexico. Even though we had owned for over 16 years, we still needed an agent who understood Mexico and could translate the world of Canada.

Experiencia fantástica: We fell in love with Puerto Vallarta a few years ago on our first visit with friends. We knew right away that we wanted to get a vacation place there. We searched online for realtor and was referred to Derek Carkner of Donner and Associates. Derek, as a resident of Puerto Vallarta knew the ins and outs of the region and the romantic zone and the surrounding areas. He was also very knowledgeable about which builders to avoid as we were looking for preconstruction since most 1 and2 BR places were of our budget. We ended up purchasing a preconstruction two bedroom, two bath condo at Las Verandas de Amapas and we are completely happy with our purchase. We would highly recommend Derek Carkner as he is an amazing realtor is very knowledgeable. He has great follow up and follow through.

Experiencia fantástica: We received the best care from Dean at Donner and Associates, and he made our dream of owning property in Puerto Vallarta come true! Thank you Dean!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure working lately with the amazing Alain Verret to find me my new beautiful home in PV Mexico , it was an amazing experience working with this amazing gentleman going through the venture of getting my place. I can confidently say that his knowledge and expertise made it easy for me to know what I want , specially I had zero experience in the beginning not knowing where to buy ?what is the process like ? the legal and financial aspects to this transaction putting in mind that I want a second home but at the same time I want higher investment projections. I can say that in no time I got what I am looking for with his help to facilitate the process even though helping me to find a property management company and an interior designer to furnish it. Thanks a lot Alain for getting me my home and for being helpful all the way.

Experiencia fantástica: Derek made selling our Puerto Vallarta home a breeze. We had heard that selling a home in Mexico can be difficult. Our sale was as clean and straightforward as we could have asked for.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Donner & Associates has been a smooth comfortable process. Enrique has been very helpful with all details, very thorough with information and explanations, and always makes himself available for help when needed. If you want a firm you can trust, I don't think you can go wrong with Donner & Associates.

Experiencia fantástica: I would recommend Enrique Fragoso to EVERYONE! He is literally the BEST real estate expert. He was with us the whole process and we didn’t had it easy. He is so comprehensive of our needs and he fought for us many times. This would have not been possible without him, and for sure not as easy and smooth. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would.

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with Alain Verret who made my first time buying experience in Puerto Vallarta exceptionally easy. He came referred to me from a friend (also American and only English speaking) who recently bought her first property in PV. Alain is a multi faceted realtor; his international exposure from Canada to the US to MX helped him explain differences to me and his expertise in the local market was immensely helpful. He went above and beyond and physically drove me to get my electricity set up, translated impeccably for me, providing recommendations on local materials used for airbnbs, and offered to review my general contractors proposal for me and even check in if needed. Throughout the entire process, he navigated every step with grace and expertise, making what could have been a daunting experience seamless and enjoyable. We are thrilled with our new property in Mexico and have Alain to thank for making our dream a reality. He was a pleasure to work with, highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I was down in Puerto Vallarta on an annual vacation and mentioned to Mike I’d like to see some properties in the Zona Romántica. He set up appointments right away at Nomada Habitat, which I fell in love with and got into contract very quickly. It was extremely easy to work with Mike on each step of the process. He was also very helpful working to get electricity working and help coordinate furniture vendor. I would definitely work with Mike again for any Real Estate needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Mario Carrasco Realtor thanks for all your professionalism and honesty in assisting myself and Joao with our first real estate purchase in Puerto Vallarta we love our new building LUZ and we are patient waiting for the property to be built. PVR has always been a 2nd home to us. Thanks again for your follow up and helping us feel comfortable with our pre construction purchase! Realtor Larry Lemke S FL Realty And. Joao Rodrigues

Experiencia fantástica: My sister just purchased a condo with Mario Carrasco with Ryan Donner and Associates. Mario did an outstanding job getting her the condo she wanted in the area she wanted. He has a thorough knowledge of Puerto Vallarta as he grew up here. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient and we would definitely recommend him! Funny thing is we first met Mario a few years back on a boat trip when he was a tour guide with Jets Private Boat Tours and thought he was a wonderful tour guide and immediately hit it off with him. So when I found out he had gotten into real estate, I didn’t think twice about contacting him to help my sister find her dream condo. He’s not only our realtor, but a friend. We also just purchased an investment property through Mario and again he was an excellent realtor helping us find exactly what we wanted. Mario goes above and beyond for his clients! Thank you Mario!

Experiencia fantástica: Mario is the best. He helped me compare the options in my price range and is working with me on the whole process while I wait for my new construction condo to be built. He is clearly a highly respected native of Puerto Vallarta and very professional to work with. I can’t wait to move in and continue to network with Mario as I learn more about my new second home.

Experiencia fantástica: Hello, I had an excellent experience !! Very happy with our home and service received by the realtors. Mario Carrasco was extremely nice, professional and communicative every single time we had questions. Can’t wait to be ready to purchase another apartment

Experiencia fantástica: Dean is very professional, understands his client’s needs and wants and is patient as the decision process occurs. Extremely helpful to help get you in the right home

Experiencia fantástica: When deciding to sell our pv home after 10 years, we asked many friends for their agent recommendations. ONE name came up repeatedly. DEREK CARKNER, at Ryan Donner & associates. Our criteria: trust, knowledge, proven record. Derek exceeded our expectations, helping at every stage of the process and quickly responding to queries. Add wonderful personality, extremely talented artist, pianist, humour & grace. It has been a pleasure to work with him. Margo & Rob, Toronto Canada

Experiencia fantástica: After 23 moves in my entire life i have finally settled in to my glorious forever home , thanks to my friend and diligent, tenacious realtor Kevin Anthony who listened to me and found exactly what i wanted. I have lived in PV for 6 of those moves. More than a few of the realtors in town are friends. I have huge respect for the work they do. Good grief, just learning to comply with the ever changing restrictions in the RE market in Mexico is daunting enough. I carefully hand picked Kevin Anthony because to put it simply , i like his energy. I witnessed his integrity in the world of entertainment and admired his ability to bring community to that industry. He had performed for my various charity functions at Casa Karma and would never accept payment for his performances. He is a class act in every sense of the word and an amazing singer to boot. It was an easy choice therefore to ask him to be my realtor. Yes, he was a” rookie” . This was his first attempt at such a massive undertaking ( i.e. a new career… having little or nothing to do with singing) This” rookie" , Kevin, was the best possible selection. No preconceived notions, a willingness to learn and practice the lessons. Kevin understood innately that selling is a giving profession ( not unlike the entertainment field) . You anticipate the needs of your client and you fulfill those needs. This his first closing was trial by fire, definitely not an easy first effort. I started out thinking i would just be renting. He humored me and happily showed me rental options. Realizing that this was not a good idea, we then looked for what might fit my needs . He found my forever place, which i love!!!. He paid close attention in the sifting process to what didn’t work. He jumped through all the hoops while attending real estate classes and dealing with my family in various parts of the US who bought this for me. Nothing easy about it. Through it all Kevin remained patient and unruffled. I must also add that he was not ever late for an appointment. If i could sing, i would be singing his praises from the roof tops. This couldn’t have been a smoother transaction. I must also give a shout out to the cooperation of the seller’s agent and broker . What a beautiful collaborative effort! (Thank you too G&G Realty.) Owner Ryan Donner was easily accessible to answer any questions and there were many, that we had for Kevin. Kevin never pretended to know all the answers to things , he always asked for guidance when needed. Ok all this to say… in 23 moves in my considerable life span… NEVER have i been so pleased with the professionalism patience and service of my agent and his broker. Thanks Kevin Anthony. Thanks Ryan Donner. I wish you continued success.

Experiencia fantástica: Where do we start. My husband and I moved to Mexico in search of a better quality of life. We decided on Puerto Vallarta after visiting several times. We chose to rent for a year and then decide on the exact area we wanted to place roots. In steps Dean Malone with Ryan Donner & Associates. We told Dean what we were looking for and he went right to work. We were not in a rush because we wanted to find the perfect location. After looking at just a couple of properties he figured out exactly what we wanted. A few weeks went by and he told us he thinks he found the property, and boy did he ever. The location, price and architectural design were exactly what we were looking for. The property was pre construction and Dean walked us through the entire process seamlessly explaining everything. Not once did we feel uncomfortable about the process. We have had several construction walk throughs and Dean has scheduled and attended every one with us taking extensive notes of any changes or concerns that we might have and passing them on to the developers. Once the project is complete we have no doubt that Dean found us the perfect Home. Thank you Dean Malone for your hard work and dedication you have shown us.

Experiencia fantástica: 5 Stars for Jeri Krieg!!!!! My husband and I came to El Tigre last year and fell in love with Nuevo. We were introduced to Jeri Krieg by someone who had a great experience buying through her. She was sincere and selfless in showing us around so that we could see each complex in the area. I was very impressed with the level of instant availability and professionalism she showed - something I haven’t seen in an agent until now (except for our Abbotsford based daughter!). When we left to go home, I thought we’d be looking again another day but was surprised when a unit came up on the link Jeri connected us with AND we did something I still can’t believe… through Jeri, we bought our condo sight unseen. Jeri went in several times, sending us pictures and videos and because we felt we could trust her, we bought our new home! I’ve been here a week and I still feel like I’m dreaming. It is everything I’d hoped for and more. Thank you Jeri!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: As Americans looking to buy property in Mexico, the process can seem daunting. However, Derek was an absolute professional and helped us every step of the way. He provided recommendations for an inspector, notary, lawyers, etc. and we had a great experience with all of them. I highly recommend Derek; call him if you're looking to buy or sell!

Experiencia fantástica: Rocio from Donner is an excellent realtor. She always returned my calls and messages promptly. She made the entire transaction very seamless. I highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: A quick note of appreciation for the Ryan Donner team - specifically Kim Kuzma. She’s been amazing - going above and beyond in helping us navigate the Mexican real estate process, assisting with initiating the immigration process, finding a lot to build our dreams on, directing us to architects and builders — and just being an all around wonderful person and friend. So, Ryan, thank you for pointing us her way! We still have a long road ahead of us, but great knowing we have such quality folks to help guide us! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Al and I have visited and loved Puerto Vallarta for many years. The city, the food, and the people have always been so wonderful. It is no surprise that we decided to try and find a second home in Puerto Vallarta, for vacation and retirement. We wanted a great two bedroom and two bath free-standing house. It needed to be in a great location, with a fantastic view, and provide for generous outdoor garden space. Enter Jonathan Anderson. Jonathan only sent us listings which met our requirements and wants, unlike a couple of other agents who sent us listings for high rise condos and homes that were out of our price range. Jonathan kept all communications open with us through emails and texts. He was always responsive, and provided a wealth of knowledge about all of the processes. From establishing our fideicomiso and making our initial offer, through a contingency of ours to repair a leak in the roof (which was done at the Seller's expense before the final offer), and to the final counter-offer which was accepted, Jonathan was engaged and worked tirelessly for us. Most of the work was done with DocuSign on our devices, until the closing. Even at the Final Walk-Through Jonathan attended to details involving the splitting of the shared waterline so our house will have its own line and meter. This, also at the Seller's expense. Jonathan made sure that we understood every part of the process and made us feel comfortable and confident that we knew what we were doing. We worked hard ourselves to make this happen, and Jonathan's being authentic, genuine, and caring, along with his dedication to us, made our dream come true. We could not be happier with our new home, and I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find a better Realtor than Mr. Jonathan Anderson. On his site he states that he is an expert in Real Estate, and we completely agree that he is. Thank you. Michael Spondike and Al Norman

Experiencia fantástica: Derek made the process of purchasing a property easy and smooth. I would highly recommend him and Donner & Associates.

Experiencia fantástica: We just purchased a residential site in Puerto Vallarta and Derek Carkner from Donner & Associates was our buyer’s agent. Overall, we were very pleased with Derek. Buying a property in Mexico is not easy, but Derek made the process smooth. He is very knowledgeable of the market in Puerto Vallarta and the Banderas Bay, and is well connected with other realtors. His customer service was excellent, providing a list of properties that were within our budget, picking us up at the airport, giving us a tour of the neighborhoods, and providing his feedback from the different areas. He quickly responded to our inquiries, via email, text, or video. Finally, Marlene Cruz from his legal team informed us of the process of buying in Mexico as foreigners, disclosed the legal fees with detail, and clearly explained every step at the closing table. We highly recommend Derek to anyone who is dealing with real estate in Mexico. Jim and Jeo

Experiencia fantástica: We were in Puerto Vallarta for 3 days celebrating our anniversary when we met Mike Ginsberg. Never even thinking of moving to MX, we fell in love with Zona Romántica! Mike is amazing!! He is friendly with a wonderful personality, super professional, impressively knowledgeable, resourceful and very informative about the area and everything required for the purchase of our mid construction condo. He made the process so smooth. We can always contact him and surprises us with his immediate response. We really appreciate his patience and kindness as we reach out to him with our anxieties and concerns which included some frustration. We are beyond excited with our move!!! Thank you Mike!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Worked with Jonathan Anderson of Donner & Associates, and selling our property was a breeze. Jonathan made the experience simple and painless, and sold our property for well above asking price in a matter of days, more specifically three days. If you’re in the market to buy or sell a property in PV, I highly recommend contacting Jonathan. And be ready to move fast, he wastes no time in achieving your desires.

Experiencia fantástica: Hace mas de una semana celebramos haber vendido un terreno que teníamos aquí en El caloso, no parecía una propiedad fácil de vender y mucho menos en un precio competitivo , sinmebargo Jonathan Anderson nuestro agente de bienes raíces que es parte de esta agencia hizo un gran trabajo y quedamos super contentos!

Experiencia fantástica: We had an amazing experience with Derek Carkner, every step of the way. From the initial search to closing, Derek was there communicating well and handling all the details and moving parts. I’d give him ten stars if I could!

Experiencia fantástica: Warren is THE realtor you need ! He focused not only on the property but also all the commodities around (schools, bus stop, groceries, beaches, etc...). He understood exactly what we want and what we need !

Experiencia fantástica: Worked with Dean Malone and he was terrific. I’ve sold two properties previously, but I was a first time buyer and Dean effectively held my hand and talked me down off a few ledges. He made the process smooth and understandable — in fact my partner and I each purchased condos through Dean and we’re both very happy. I recommend Dean without qualification.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I are Canadians and were interested in purchasing our first investment property in Mexico which eventually would become our future retirement place. We purchased a pre -construction condo with wait time of 1.5 years. Alain Verret was recommended to us by a friend in Mexico. Since Day 1 Alain has gone above and beyond and has provided us support with all the detail we may need as new home owners in Mexico. We were very nervous at first but he made our 1.5 year journey an easy one and worry free.. He is a true professional and has been very attentive, prompt and incredibly resourceful in every aspect. Not only has he helped with our purchase but also provided us with recommendations for any services we may need to be able to stand on our feet, such as, property insurance, property management companies, furniture distributors, Lawyers and immigration advisers etc…. We are very lucky to have had the pleasure of being his client. Thank you Alain, you have been amazing! Bill and Nicole

Experiencia fantástica: James was really great to work with. The company handles all the things needed if you’re not a resident which is great! Would work with them again!

Experiencia fantástica: We felt that Kim Kuzma represented us fairly, boldly and with great detail in our real estate transaction. She went above and beyond to assure our real estate desires were located and then closed properly and successfully. Give Kim an opportunity to assist you also. You’ll be happy with her professionalism!

Experiencia fantástica: Kim Kuzma was our agent for our new condo in Vallarta. We felt that Kim protected us and gave 100% attention to every detail before, during and after the sale. Extremely happy with her service and highly recommend her expertise for your real estate needs!!

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with James Miller in April 2023 to find a condo in Puerto Vallarta. He showed me lots of options and really listened to what was important to me. We found a fantastic pre-construction condo in the Romantic Zone that will be ready in November 2024. I have decided that I want to move by the end of this year, so I need to rent until my place is ready. James connected me with someone who represents landlords with long term rentals. I found a place I like, and James toured it for me and sent me videos. I plan to sign the lease tonight. Thanks for all of your help, James! If you’re looking for a place in PV, I highly recommend working with James!

Experiencia fantástica: Buying a house in Puerto Vallarta seemed like a dream. Mike Ginsberg at Ryan Donner & Associates was extraordinary in helping us navigate the process and achieve our goal. Mike is remarkably knowledgeable of the ins and outs of many new developments in town, which is essential when buying from a new development, but also with many people and the local culture, which is essential for new ex-pats. Mike is more than a real-state professional; he's a true relocation specialist. He will handhold you on every step along the way.

Experiencia fantástica: Mike has been indispensable throughout the whole buying process. He has been there to explain the processes, show us homes, met all of our worries with patience and kindness. Mike even went above and beyond helping us with opening a bank account in Mexico, and offering to bring us bedding for the first visit to our newly purchased home. Highly recommend this guy!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike to purchase a condo in the beautiful area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. From the outset, his professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail set him apart from other agents I have dealt with in the past. Mike has an intimate understanding of the local market, providing invaluable insights and guidance throughout my search. He made the process straightforward, providing regular updates and always being available to answer questions. I was particularly impressed with how Mike prioritized my needs, ensuring I found a property that met my specifications in terms of location, size, and budget. The fact that he was able to make such a potentially stressful experience enjoyable speaks volumes about his abilities. In addition to his professional expertise, Mike brings a warm, personable approach that made me feel as though I was not just another client, but a friend. This personal touch added so much value to my overall experience. I am now the proud owner of a condo in Puerto Vallarta, thanks to Mike. I can't recommend his services highly enough to anyone looking to navigate the real estate market in Mexico. His blend of market savvy, dedication to client satisfaction, and friendly, approachable style makes him an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a seamless real estate experience. Thank you for making my Puerto Vallarta condo dream a reality.

Experiencia fantástica: Mike Ginsberg is a complete and total rock star! As an agent, he was so detailed, thorough, friendly, patient and thoughtful. We absolutely loved working with Mike and we won't work with anyone else in PV unless we just have to! Mike is literally the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Mike has been a pleasure to deal with and has kept us up to date as our new home is constructed. We are super excited to continue our work with Mike.

Experiencia fantástica: Another awesome real estate experience in Mexico with my agent Erick Fierro. He is a true professional and an MVP of VIP customer care. This was my 4th transaction with Erick in Puerto Vallarta and I hope to continue working with him and Ryan Donner.

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking for a realtor look no more. Enrique Fragoso has made the buying process so easy at first we were a little hesitant in buy a vacation home in Mexico. Once we talked to Enrique we felt more confident and trusted Enrique. Every time we had a questions he would respond in a timely matter. Thank you Enrique for helping us with our dream vacation home.

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente servicio

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Jonathan at Ryandonner for my recent condo purchase was fantastic. Jonathan is very knowledgeable and experienced. I was nervous buying in another country. He covered everything with me. Set my mind at ease. I will always and only be doing business with Jonathan. He has earned my trust and friendship. I highly recommend him for any of your Realestate needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente servicio y muy feliz por el condominio que compré, realmente buen trabajo por parte de Jonathan. Recomendado

Experiencia fantástica: Worked with James Miller to find an amazing property! The process was seamless and we look forward to this being one of many properties in our future.

Experiencia fantástica: Makes something unfamiliar a comfortable and easy process. We kept thinking, "this is too good to be true." But it's not! Communicative, clear, and prompt.

Experiencia fantástica: Very rarely do you come across a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients - I feel very fortunate that I got to work with Alain Verrett in my property search. Not only did he find my dream apartment - he went one step beyond by helping me furnish the place down to every single detail. Throughout the process he was empathetic and always looked out for my interest. Our collaboration was so great that I am actually talking to him about searching for my second apartment in Puerto Vallarta!

Experiencia negativa: Pésima atención por parte de Jhoany Muñoz

Experiencia fantástica: Joanna is the most amazing Realtor! She took excellent care of us from the very beginning! Our first interaction was a phone call which she immediately called us and listened to what we were looking for. She promptly told us about the area and upcoming places and places that met our needs. Joanna then hopped in her car and drove to Salyulita and San Pancho to show us houses and the area all via video and FaceTime. She was always prompt and still is! We found our place and she took care of us every single step of the way! We would not use anyone else in this area and we have referred many friends to her. She is not only our PV Realtor now, she is our friend for life! Can not say enough wonderful things about her AND she still continues to help and guide us through the Mexico Real Estate purchasing!! Never a fear when Joanna is your agent!! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Derek Carkner and the Ryan Donner team was incredible. The enthusiasm and attention to detail from start to finish was outstanding. This was not an easy lot to sell. It was kind of off the beaten track. Other realtors have "tried", but failed. Most realtors would have opted for something easier, but Derek took on the challenge. He's creative, optimistic, and persistent. And he's honest. The closing meeting with the buyer and the team, which included an interpreter who went over every single page of the paperwork, was awesome.

Experiencia fantástica: In December 2022 I closed escrow on the purchase of a home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I was represented by Kevin Leah at the Ryan Donner Real Estate Agency in PV, and could not be more happy with the entire transaction. I knew what I was looking for in a house, and Kevin’s knowledge and guidance through the entire process made everything happen like clockwork. The skillset that each member of Kevin’s team brought to the table proved to me that I was honestly in professional hands while navigating this intimidating undertaking. I am so grateful for Kevin’s patience and advice, and thankful for his passion and knowledge of the local PV real estate market. Thank-you Kevin Leah and everyone at the Ryan Donner Agency with the purchase of my new home.
