COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
QUIVIRA by Justine Schock, REmexico Real Estate, Justine@CaboRealEstate.com
Imagine waking up to the sound of crashing waves and looking out your window to sweeping ocean and golf course views. This dream can be a reality at Quivira Los Cabos. Quivira is a 1,850-acre master-planned community sited where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas and just 30 minutes from the SJD airport. Quivira is known for its Jack Nicklaus designed golf course and three-mile stretch of untouched beaches. They are currently selling three distinctly unique neighborhoods at different price points; Mavila, Copala, and Coronado, which makes living the Cabo dream achievable for every budget! They even offer attractive financing programs and pricing incentives, which is not very common for foreigners to find in Mexico, and new neighborhood project coming very soon. Mavila is the latest neighborhood to start construction however progress is well underway. It’s the most budget friendly option with pre-construction homes starting around $230,000usd. The new “pueblito” style home concept will offer owners condos that look more 4
like townhomes than traditional condominiums. “The central “village” is comprised of two- and three-story buildings which have single level one-, two-, or three-bedroom condos. The more privileged top floor condos have an included roof-top terrace. The buildings are distributed around three community pools and are connected via winding footpaths that lace through fountain-studded courtyards. Along the fairway are three-bedroom two-story single-family homes” explains Ryan Winegar, Sales Manager at Quivira. They are now actively selling two- and threebedroom Mavila tower condos starting in the high $300K’s. Next up is Copala; a mix of two- and three-bedroom condominiums and four- and five-bedroom single-family residences. Owners interested in the residence portion of Copala can choose between seven different floor plans, ranging from 1,800 to 2,400 square feet. “The entire community sits up high in the center of Quivira looking down over the Pacific Ocean” describes Winegar. Owners have access to the 38,000-square foot Copala Clubhouse, which includes a stunning pool, massage rooms,

movie theater, deli, gym, meeting rooms and more. The views from Copala are absolutely breathtaking! Coronado is my probably my favorite of Quivira’s offerings, an exclusive community designed for 64 single level villas. Each three-, four- or five-bedroom villa features expansive terraces with unobstructed ocean views. Owners can choose from a wide variety of finishes to customize their home and truly make it their own. I love the old-world hacienda style of Coronado, and the contrast between wood beamed ceilings, high end appliances, granite, marble and stone. Each home comes with its own custom designed family crest at the entryway. It’s special touches like these that make Coronado a one of a kind place to live! Homes in Coronado start in the upper million-dollar range. In early 2020 Quivira will begin selling an exclusive community of high-end three-, four-, and five-bedroom residential condominiums overlooking the Pacific Ocean and golf course in their newest addition Alvar, and excavation has also started on the much-anticipated St. Regis Hotel and the Quivira Beach Club. Last, but certainly not least, is the Old Lighthouse Club, which is the vision of its owner and master developer, Ernesto Coppel. To ensure the distinctive look and feel of this private neighborhood inside the Quivira resort community, Mr. Coppel formed a strategic partnership with renowned real estate developers Lyle and Taber Anderson, luxury resort sales and marketing

leaders IMI Worldwide Properties, and visionary Swaback Partners Architects & Planners. Amenities will include the Cliff House, an upscale but casual lunch and dinner experience with an ocean viewing terrace, the Family Camp, a beach club, and more. While every neighborhood in Quivira is extraordinary, Old Lighthouse Club will become the community’s crown jewel. Located on a once-in-a-lifetime parcel, this private enclave situated in the high hills of Quivira affords the best views not only in this spectacular community, but in all of the Baja. With private, gated access and its own exclusive amenities, Old Lighthouse Club offers the best in class in an already world-class community.
Copala club house
All owners at Quivira have access to the Quivira Golf Club and many other first-class amenities including restaurants, gyms, award winning spas, and optional golf club and private yacht club memberships. And the new toll road from the San José International Airport makes getting there easier than ever before. No matter what neighborhood you choose, you can’t go wrong with a home in Quivira Los Cabos! *

AGENT? in Southern Baja

REAL ESTATE by Rick Parks, REmexico Real Estate, Rick@CaboRealEstate.com
The process of buying and selling real estate anywhere in the world often involves using a local real estate agent to assist you. There are a number of reasons why this is a very good idea especially if you are considering purchasing in Mexico. Los Cabos is one of the few areas in Mexico that offers an MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to both buyers and sellers. This is important to you because it gives you the opportunity to see every property available without having to search through multiple real estate websites. Every licensed brokerage and agent in Los Cabos operates through this system.
Negotiation – Los Cabos is a diverse and booming real estate market. Knowledge of that market is key to being able to negotiate the best deal for you – the client. Your local real estate agent will know the trends, the hot spots, the places where deals can be found and how to put together a real estate deal so that it is a win/win for everyone involved. The Details – Buying real estate in Mexico is a completely different process than in any other part of the world. There are many details that need to be taken care of as you transfer a property from one owner to the next. Those details, if not completed properly and on time can severely slow down the transfer process. Your real estate agent is your first point of contact to make sure all those details are dealt with. Buying or selling real estate in Los Cabos can be a fun and exciting journey. Your real estate agent is your guide through that journey. They are there to make you feel safe, fill you with knowledge, negotiate on your behalf and take care of the details. That is a very valuable friend to have in your corner. So when you are ready to step into the market don’ be afraid to contact a licensed real estate agent and get them working for you. * Casa Connie www.CaboRealEstate.com
SO WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU AS A POTENTIAL INVESTOR IN LOS CABOS?
1
Protection - In order for an individual to legally sell real estate in Los Cabos they must be licensed through the State of Baja Sur California. Ensuring that the individual you are working with is licensed gives you the confidence to know that they are fully trained, knowledgeable of the area and governed by the laws of the MLS and the State. You can now move forward in your search knowing you are not at risk.
2
Knowledge - As a licensed real estate agent we not only know the area, but we are trained in the local laws, regulations, processes and timing of a real estate transaction. When you work with a licensed agent you will be guided through the buying or selling process with full understanding of what is happening, why it is happening and how long it will take. Don’t be afraid to ask your real estate agent the tough questions. If they are unable to answer those questions - look for someone who can.
