I've been a licensed real estate sales agent in Texas for 19.5 years. I recently relocated to the RGV and sought to purchase a condo on the beach on SPI. While I can certainly represent myself in a real estate transaction, I learned early in the process there are a number of unique challenges to purchasing on the island. First, financing a condo on SPI can be a tricky process and many buyers have to terminate their contracts because they cannot obtain traditional financing. I decided I absolutely needed representation to navigate the unique market on SPI. I did some research on agents in the area and narrowed my search to Maggie Bolado. I found Maggie to be incredibly knowledgeable about SPI and everything that makes this market unique. She very quickly identified what we wanted and did an extraordinary job helping us find it. We found our dream home on the beach in one day of showings. Maggie again proved valuable in assisting us with constructing our offer that was accepted as presented with no changes or counters. She again proved to be invaluable by assisting us with finding lenders who offered the proper lending product for our purchase and demonstrating understanding the unique qualities of the HOA's on SPI. Maggie has a long history of assisting sellers and buyers on SPI, knows almost everyone in the real estate business, and is familiar with nearly every property on the island. Maggie made what could have been a complex and frustrating process very easy. Simply stated, everything went according to plan. As a licensee, I would not recommend anyone, buyer or seller, go unrepresented in a transaction. I recommend Maggie without reservation.
