Project Management is different than Property Management. This service is vital for those who have purchased a NEW CONSTRUCTION property, OR for owners who want to RENOVATE or REMODEL their property.
Purchasing real estate in a foreign country can be more complex. Project Management is especially beneficial for purchasers who do not plan to live here full time. It is nearly impossible to finalize a newly constructed property, or renovate a property without the grasp of Spanish, AND without the ethical assistance of professionals who are physically here, and who can provide you with updates about your property status. We assist all our clients with every detail before, during and after their purchase; to title in their name, and well beyond.

Common New Owner Concerns
Reliable Project Management provides important Inspections – Including the preliminary onsite inspection which must be done once the property has been “declared” by the builder as finished. However, it’s important to have an outside 3rd party representative physically verify everything WAS actually finished and finished professionally and correctly. 2-3 Inspections may be required before the property is nicely finished and ready for furnishings, appliances, and electronics. Electric meters must initially purchased by the new owners. The Builders do not include the meters because these must be secured under the new owners names. Once the Electric meter is installed (we coordinate this), it is then vital for another inspection to assure the electric to the property was properly installed, and to assure all the appliances and electronics work while they are still under warranty.
We set up personal income / expense accounts; making it more convenient and cost effective for the payment of ownership costs on a timely basis, eliminating the need to wire funds all the time. We establish the required utility accounts in the new owners names (electric, cable TV, internet, HOA, Insurance, etc. (not an easy task here). We assist with the full furnishing and accessorizing of the property, including the appliances, electronics, décor, and home accessories needed.
