5 HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS That Will Pay Off in 2024 ANOTHER WORLD: Aman Hotels & Resorts

Meet

BIANCA MENDEZ From a very young age my parents taught me the importance of hard work, humility and consistency.

As result, I earned an academic and basketball scholarship from the University of Puerto Rico, where I completed my bachelor’s degree in business administration. Those experiences lead me to an opportunity to play Professional Women’s Basketball in Puerto Rico for two seasons. Today I am a proud Wife and Mother of three.

My interest in Real Estate also begins at a young age. Growing up on construction sites and watching my father develop beautiful homes inspired me to become a Real Estate Professional.

My business priority is to represent Sellers and Buyers int he purchase and sale of homes while consistently upholding the highest ethical and professional standards in the industry. My work ethic insures that every client receives an extraordinary service.

Highly Likely to RECOMMEND

“

Bianca, just sold our home for our asking price. That should in itself be enough to select her as your agent for any realty needs. However, we must add that we highly recommend her, as Bianca and her Team were very responsive, professional and experts in all aspects of the selling process.

She is an expert negotiator not only with the other agents on purchase price, but also with any other expenses that may come in the preparation to list your home to closing escrow such as staging, clearances or request from the buyers. We give Bianca our highest recommendation as we have now used her to buy a home and to sell a home for us. Thank you Team Mendez.

Bianca and her team sold our beautiful home

Bianca is a persistent, friendly and positive realtor. Always on the ball, and consistent in every aspect of her work. She carried herself in a very professional manner, and remained calm and collected in each situation.

We loved working with Bianca, and can say we were not her easiest clients by far! Would recommend her to anyone.

”

for a good price when a previous realtor

couldn't get the job done under changing

market circumstances. Bianca was a polished

professional throughout the process. She was extremely patient even though we were demanding customers. Bianca went above and beyond and took it upon herself to be more than a realtor...she was always

available, responsive, honest, and took care of our home even after we moved out of San Diego for school and work.

We trusted her even though we were 2,000 miles away which says a lot! She and her team would regularly check on our home and resolved every issue that arose throughout the process with poise and unending support.

The answer is Amangiri, a luxury lodge in Canyon Point, Utah, that is part of Aman Hotels & Resorts, a high-end boutique hotel company. The fabulous hotels are on the bucket list of almost every traveler.

Besides the coveted Amangiri location, Aman Hotels have also popped up in many other elegant locales. Marrakech, Morocco; Porto Heli, Greece; and Java, Indonesia are a few of its international treasures.

During Nguyen’s honeymoon, she was a guest at Amanpuri, Aman’s flagship resort, in Phuket, Thailand. Private white sand beaches, grandiose pools with palm trees, and gorgeous sweeping staircases were some of her favorites there, she noted.

Aman has a way of finding unique pockets within the United States to implement its refined resorts. Two of the most popular are Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the Teton Mountains, and Midtown Manhattan in New York.

"All over the globe, the brand is creating its own worlds of luxur y."

Tom Cahalan, the director of Dorsia Travel, a UK-based company, has been traveling to luxury hotels for over 15 years and still raves about his vacation to Aman NYC. When speaking to Homes & Estates, he said that he’s visited over 20 Aman hotels over the course of his role at Dorsia.

Aman NYC is in the center of Manhattan, situated in the iconic Crown Building. It’s a breath of fresh luxury in the middle of the bustling streets.

Highlights here include a year-round garden terrace at the original spa location. Cahalan notes that the expansive treatments, the indoor pool, and the outdoor terraces in the spa simply cannot be missed.

Aman actually houses some of the most spacious suites in the whole city. It’s a large feat in the ever-evolving Manhattan.

Through its unique offerings, impressive locations, and more-thanaccommodating staff, Aman Hotels & Resorts is clearly making a name for itself. All over the globe, the brand is creating its own worlds of luxury.

“There is a top-notch level of service that the Aman brand has to offer that no one has been able to achieve in the same manner,” Nguyen says. “Not only that, but their properties are absolutely breathtaking, and thoughtfully chosen.”
