What Category Are You In?
In my experience couples that contact me fall into two general categories:
Category 1:Both are interested in the beautiful and affordable area of Mexico collectively known as Lake Chapala.
Category 2
One or the other of them is skeptical.
They may feel if it sounds too good to be true, then it isn’t true.
The partner who wants to come down for a check us out trip so bad they can taste it of course tries to convince the other one to make plans to come down to see us.
If you’re the partner who thinks you should come down: Good for you, but here’s some advice.
Don’t argue, don’t push, just say something like… “Let’s go have a nice holiday away, enjoy the great weather, meet some people who live there, llo around and then see what we think.”
Follow up with, “I could be wrong .. and if I am I’ll be the frst to admit it… but if we both like it I promise not to say, ‘ I told you so’. But, if you don’t think it’s right for us, then I love you and we’ll cross Lake Chapala off our list, fair enough.”
Now a word to the skeptical partner:Let me shed some light on what you can expect from me.
I promise to let it all hang out and I will not cover you up with a bunch of B. S.
I’ll just answer your questions honestly. I’ll even point out the negatives (yes there are a few even for folks who our area is definitely right for).
No area is “perfect perfect” at least on this planet, but for me Lake Chapala comes real close.
Is it the best place in the world retire? Well it is for thousands of North Americans who could have chosen any place in the world to retire… but I admit that doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
But, it’s so right for so many that you owe it to yourself to come see, to meet some folks who live here, and to get some honest straight from the shoulder information.
If you conclude that the area is right for you (Do this on your time line when you’re here or after you’re back home) then I’d like to be your Exclusive Buyer’s Only Realtor looking after your best interest.
