The Art of Showcasing a Property Key Points for Realtors.

One of the most important steps in a property’s sale process, for both the company that represents the estate and potential buyers, is the open house. During this visit, those interested in purchasing the property can admire its amenities and feel its ambiance and vibe. This is the opportunity to walk through its spaces and envision what it would be like to live there, so it is much likely that a final decision will be made after the visit. Yet, how can realtors achieve a successful experience? Should they emphasize every single positive aspect or let the property speak for itself? We offer some key points to keep in mind.

p14 Dentro del proceso de venta de una propiedad, uno de los momentos más importantes tanto para la agencia que la representa como para los compradores potenciales, es el open house.

Durante esta visita, los interesados pueden admirar en vivo las amenidades del inmueble y percibir tanto su ambiente como su vibra, recorrer sus espacios e imaginarse cómo será habitar en ella, por lo que es muy probable que después del tour, se tome la decisión final. Pero, ¿cómo lograr una experiencia satisfactoria? ¿Se deberían enfatizar los aspectos positivos o dejar que el inmueble hable por sí solo? A continuación, te presentamos algunas consideraciones para tomar en cuenta.

Seventh Networking and Update Course for Notaries Puerto Vallarta’s Mayor Arturo Dávalos at the Seventh Networking and Update Course for Notaries.

A few weeks ago, public notaries from all of Mexico visited Puerto Vallarta to attend the Seventh Networking and Update Course for Notaries. During the event, Héctor Guillermo Galeano Inclán, president of the National College of Mexican Notaries, called upon the professionals attending meeting to conduct their activities conscientiously, professionally and ethically.

Furthermore, as far as the reform of the General Law of Mercantile Corporations—that may be perceived as an exclusion of notaries in the registration and certification of new small and medium-size enterprises—Galeano Inclán said it represents an opportunity niche as it opens the doors for advising entrepreneurs interested in starting a simplified joint stock company (a company formed by one or more individuals who must pay their respective contributions represented by equities).

The reform will become official this September in order to allow more people to join legal formality through the constitution of a legal entity.

A finales de julio, Puerto Vallarta recibió a los notarios públicos provenientes de diversas partes del país para sesionar en el VII Curso de Actualización y Convivencia 2016. Durante el evento, Héctor Guillermo Galeano Inclán, presidente del Colegio Nacional del Notariado Mexicano, exhortó a los notarios a ejercer su labor con consciencia, técnica y sobre todo con ética.

De la misma manera, ante la reforma a la Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles —que puede tomarse como una exclusión de los notarios para el registro y certificación de pequeñas y medianas empresas de nueva creación—, Galeano Inclán planteó que esto representa un nicho de oportunidad para asesorar a los emprendedores que están buscando constituir una sociedad por acciones simplificada (aquella que se constituye con una o más personas físicas que solo están obligadas al pago de sus aportaciones representadas en acciones).

Esta reforma entra en vigor a partir de este mes de septiembre con el objetivo de que un mayor número de personas se incorporen a la formalidad a través de una persona moral.

“The notarial function has the challenge to evolve along with the society and the law. We have to convey the value of our institutions, legal structures, the rule of law, security and legal certainties.” —Héctor Galeano, president of the National College of Mexican Notaries.

“La función notarial tiene el reto de irse transformando conjuntamente con la sociedad y el campo de derecho. Tenemos que transmitir la valía de nuestras instituciones, las estructuras jurídicas, el estado de derecho, la seguridad y las certezas jurídicas”. —Héctor Galeano, presidente del Colegio Nacional del Notariado Mexicano.

AMPI Signed Agreement with American Developer Company The agreement will allow AMPI members to promote and sell properties listed by LENNAR in the United States.

A few weeks ago, the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) announced it has signed a collaborative agreement with LENNAR, one of the leading real estate developers in United States, with over 60 years of experience in the industry.

The agreement will allow AMPI members to promote and sell properties listed by LENNAR in the United States. Through a press release, AMPI stated that training course title “How to sell properties in United States” will be available shortly, providing Mexican real estate professionals with supporting materials, including the Buyer’s International Guide. In addition to this collaboration, AMPI recently established alliances with the National Sustainable Housing Council (CONAVIVES) and the National Association of Appraisal Units (ANUVAC), two organizations AMPI will be working with in order to encourage the establishment of sustainable communities, creating business opportunities.

Hace algunas semanas, la Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios (AMPI) dio a conocer la reciente firma de un convenio de colaboración con LENNAR, una de las constructoras más importantes de Estados Unidos (que cuenta con más de 60 años de experiencia en la industria).

El objetivo de esta alianza es que los miembros de AMPI puedan promover y vender las propiedades enlistadas que ofrece LENNAR en los Estados Unidos. A través de un boletín de prensa emitido por AMPI, se informó que próximamente se lanzará la convocatoria para participar en el curso de capacitación que llevará por nombre “Cómo vender propiedades en Estados Unidos”, en el que también se proporcionarán materiales de apoyo a los profesionales mexicanos, entre los que destaca la Guía Internacional del Comprador. Además de esta colaboración, recientemente AMPI concretó alianzas con el Consejo Nacional de Viviendas Sustentables (CONVIVES) y la Asociación Nacional de Unidades de Valuación (ANUVAC), dos organizaciones con las que buscará impulsar la creación de comunidades sustentables y vincular oportunidades de negocio.

Through the online platform U.S. Homeshowcase, LENNAR will offer AMPI members exclusive access to its development projects. All real estate professionals interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, can sign up at www.ushomeshowcase.com/getstarted or get more information by sending an email to ampi@lennar.com.

A través de la plataforma en línea U.S. Homeshowcase, LENNAR le ofrecerá a los miembros de AMPI el acceso exclusivo a sus proyectos en desarrollo.

ENEFITS OF AN ETHICAL AND ORGANIZED INDUSTRY Los beneficios de una industria inmobiliaria ética y organizada

Jorge Chávez

Much of the current dynamism evident throughout Mexico’s real estate market, is created by brokers who have implemented AMPI statutes aimed at professionalizing the industry activity.

Gran parte del dinamismo que hoy gozan los bienes raíces en México, es respaldado por los brókeres que han implementado los estatutos avalados por AMPI para profesionalizar la actividad inmobiliaria.

Originally from Texas, Ron Morgan was brought up in Midland. He studied at Texas Tech University and pursued postgraduate studies in Europe. He began his career in the United States’ real estate industry as an interior designer over 30 years ago. At the beginning of 2000, he retired and purchased his first house in Puerto Vallarta with the intention of making it his winter residence.

Nativo de Texas, Ron Morgan fue criado en Midland. Estudió en la Universidad Tecnológica de Texas y realizó posgrados en Europa. Hace más de 30 años, comenzó como diseñador de interiores en la industria de los bienes raíces en Estados Unidos. A principios del año 2000, se retiró y compró su primera casa en Puerto Vallarta para utilizarla como residencia de invierno.

One year later, he made Puerto Vallarta his home as he found everything he needed locally, in order to continue with his real estate pursuits. As he settled in the city, he began collaborating with several local real estate agencies until he finally decided to found Ron Morgan Properties, his own company.

Un año después, se percató de que este destino lo tenía todo para convertirlo en su hogar y continuar involucrado en los procesos inmobiliarios. Al instalarse de manera permanente, estuvo colaborando ocasionalmente con varias agencias locales hasta que finalmente apostó por fundar Ron Morgan Properties, su propia compañía.

Currently, he is a member of the AMPI Vallarta Board 2014-16, convinced that keeping the purchasing and selling process transparent, organized and accessible in order to protect the client’s interests, will always be a favorable and enriching approach for the industry.

Actualmente es miembro y vocal del Consejo 2014-16 de AMPI Vallarta porque ha constatado que mantener los procesos de compra-venta transparentes, organizados y de fácil acceso para la protección de los intereses de los clientes, siempre beneficiará y enriquecerá a la industria.

When we asked about projections for the rest of the year, Morgan comments that, based on the quarterly reports provided by AMPI, local agencies are having the same level of activity during summer and winter. “Nowadays we have a strong real estate community thanks to its organization and long-term stays that make the property sales and purchases process possible.”

Cuando le preguntamos por las proyecciones para el resto del año, Morgan comentó que basado en los reportes trimestrales que AMPI proporciona, las agencias locales están teniendo la misma actividad en el verano que durante el invierno. “Hoy en día, tenemos una comunidad inmobiliaria muy fuerte debido a su organización y a las estancias de largo plazo que se convierten en compra y venta de propiedades”.

As far as the latter part of the year, “the trend suggests we will continue with positive results.

We have received much more international visitors and everyday more and more domestic tourists arrive in our destination, leading to new businesses opportunities. Puerto Vallarta presently has more visitors than other Mexican beach destinations—such as Acapulco—and this translates into more real estates transactions in the region.”

Para la última parte del año, “la tendencia indica que seguiremos con los buenos resultados.

Hemos tenido muchos más turistas extranjeros y cada vez llegan más nacionales a nuestro destino, provocando la apertura de más negocios locales. Actualmente, están viniendo más visitantes a Puerto Vallarta que a otros destinos de playa —como Acapulco— y esto se traduce en la ejecución de más operaciones inmobiliarias en la región”.

“Nowadays we have a strong real estate community thanks to its organization and long-term stays that make the property sales and purchases process possible.”

Very much to our fortune, Puerto Vallarta features several interesting zones for potential buyers: “I love the Romantic Zone and enjoy living a few steps away from my office. Moreover, there are a lot of properties on sale in this area—in addition to those that are being built—so showing them is easy. We can show thousands of dollars’ worth of properties by simply walking or driving for 10 minutes.”

“Even though our destination was originally seen as the perfect retirement or semi-retirement place by Americans

Afortunadamente, Puerto Vallarta cuenta con varias zonas muy interesantes para adquirir una propiedad: “En lo personal, me encanta la Zona Romántica puesto que amo vivir a tan solo unos cuantos pasos de distancia de mi oficina. Además, existen muchas propiedades en venta en esta área —que se suman a las que se siguen construyendo—, por lo que mostrar bienes inmuebles se vuelve muy fácil. Podemos mostrar miles de dólares en propiedades yendo a pie o a tan solo 10 minutos en automóvil”.

and Canadians—where they could plan their future with great detail—in recent years I have noticed my clients are around 45 years old. This shows that Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit are attracting a younger market that is well aware of this zone’s potential. If we take into account the quality/price ratio, and add accessibility, safety, medical services, practicality and convenience; then we have an oceanfront community like no other in North America.”

Compared with previous years, the development of commercial projects, houses and offices has led the local and national real estate industry to experience a surge in activity so far this year.

In large measure, the professionalism experienced by the real estate industry nowadays has been possible thanks to the rules and organization implemented by the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI, Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios) since it was founded in 1956, when it was known as the Mexican Federation of Brokers and Real Estate Managers.

“Aunque inicialmente nuestro destino era visto por los estadounidenses y canadienses como un lugar perfecto para su retiro o semiretiro —en el que podían planear su futuro a detalle—, en los últimos años he notado que mis clientes rondan los 45 años de edad. Esto significa que Puerto Vallarta y Riviera Nayarit están atrayendo el interés de un mercado más joven que conoce el potencial de esta zona. Si tomamos en cuenta la relación calidad-precio y le sumamos la accesibilidad, seguridad, servicios médicos, practicidad y conveniencia; entonces obtenemos una comunidad frente al mar como ninguna otra en Norteamérica”.

Y es que en comparación con los años anteriores, el desarrollo de proyectos comerciales, de viviendas y oficinas; han propiciado que los bienes raíces a nivel local y nacional estén teniendo un mayor dinamismo en lo que va del 2016.

En gran parte, el profesionalismo que actualmente está teniendo la industria inmobiliaria se debe al orden y organización que la Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios (AMPI) ha estado implementando desde su fundación en 1956, cuando se le conocía como Unión Mexicana de Corredores y Administradores de Inmuebles, A.C.

60 years later, the evolution of this association has successfully adjusted to changing times, leading all the actors in the real estate industry (development promoters, sellers, managers, consultants, appraisers and financial advisors) to remain interested in becoming more professional to nurture and make the industry grow as expected.

60 años después, la evolución de esta asociación que se ha adaptado a los nuevos tiempos, ha propiciado que todos los actores inmiscuidos en la actividad inmobiliaria (promotores de desarrollos inmobiliarios, comercializadores, administradores, consultores, valuadores y asesores en financiamiento) sigan mostrando su interés en profesionalizarse para nutrir y hacer crecer a una industria que así lo requiere.

“Without a doubt, society at large benefits from an association like AMPI because the buying and selling process often requires

“Sin duda, la sociedad en general se beneficia de la existencia de una asociación como AMPI, ya que el proceso de compra-venta de

to place people’s assets in the hands of a stranger, who has to be honest and prepared to answer any question, under any circumstance, in order to provide anyone involved with trust and confidence.”

In closing, “people interested in buying or selling a property, should seek a professional Real Estate Agent. This way, they can receive open and honest advice about legal matters, and access to the list of formal real estate developers, as well as private clients with all documentation in order. Those who want to sell their properties, will have direct access to a network of marketing and commercialization experts.”

una propiedad, muchas veces implica poner todo el patrimonio de las personas en manos de un extraño que, para brindar confianza y seguridad a todos los involucrados, debe ser honesto y estar verdaderamente preparado para responder ante cualquier inquietud o circunstancia”. En concreto, “aquellas personas que estén interesadas en comprar o vender una propiedad, deberían acudir con un agente de bienes raíces profesional. De esta manera, podrán recibir asesoría transparente sobre cuestiones legales y consultar la oferta de desarrolladores inmobiliarios formales, así como clientes particulares con toda su documentación en regla. Quienes buscan vender su propiedad, tendrán el acceso a una serie de expertos en comercialización y mercadotecnia”, finaliza.

HE ART OF SHOWCASING A PROPERTY El arte de mostrar una propiedad

Alexis Velasco

The improvement of the property’s areas by minor renovations can make a huge difference.

How can you make the most out of an open house and impress buyers? ¿Cómo sacarle el máximo provecho a un open house y provocar una impresión favorable en el comprador?

One of the most common activities for real estate agents is showcasing properties to potential buyers, whether they are trying to sell a specific property or seeking the perfect home for a client among a catalogue of residences. While it is true that in both scenarios is important to be prepared to offer relevant information, in the first case it is pivotal to take into account some considerations in order to achieve a successful open house and sell the residence faster.

It is pivotal to take into account some considerations in order to achieve a successful open house and sell the residence faster.

Una de las actividades que con mayor frecuencia realizan los agentes inmobiliarios es mostrarle propiedades a los compradores potenciales, ya sea que estén tratando de vender una residencia en específico o buscándole el hogar ideal a un cliente dentro de un catálogo de bienes raíces. Si bien es cierto que en ambos casos se vuelve indispensable estar preparado para ofrecer información pertinente, en el primer escenario es vital tomar ciertas consideraciones para lograr un exitoso open house y vender más rápido el bien inmueble.

Make the property look stunning The most important part begins well in advance. Make sure the property has the appropriate conditions to receive visits from buyers. A few months ago, the US National Association of Realtors (NAR) produced a checklist with recommendations to keep in mind before hosting an open house, including regular maintenance and keeping the property in a clean condition (along with minor repairs), using good lighting and ventilation in all rooms, removing personal items and turning on any feature that can enhance the ambience (such as fountains, water features or garden lighting).

What can you do if the property is old or doesn’t look modern? This is one of the most common situations faced by those engaged in the business of reselling properties. In the United States industry, there is a term describing a practice that could be very useful: Home Staging, which is the improvement of the property’s areas by minor renovations that can make a huge difference, enhancing the look of the property.

Removing furniture to create ample spaces, installing lighting features or a new floor, painting outdoor and indoor walls, and placing decorative items and contemporary art works may very well make the difference between selling faster and at higher prices.

Hacer lucir a la propiedad en su máximo esplendor La parte más importante comienza con mucho tiempo de anticipación. Hay que asegurar que la propiedad se encuentre en las condiciones necesarias para poder recibir las visitas de los compradores interesados. Hace algunos meses, la Asociación Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios de los Estados Unidos (NAR, por sus siglas en inglés) lanzó un checklist que contiene recomendaciones previas a un open house, entre las que destacan efectuar un constante mantenimiento y limpieza a la propiedad (incluidas las reparaciones menores), mantener una buena iluminación y ventilación en todos los recintos, remover objetos personales, así como activar aquellas instalaciones que pudieran ser atractivas (como fuentes, caídas de agua, iluminación en las pérgolas, etc.). Pero, ¿qué hacer si el inmueble es viejo o luce anticuado? Este es uno de los principales problemas a los que se enfrentan aquellos que se dedican a la reventa de propiedades. En la industria norteamericana, existe un término que describe una práctica que puede ser de mucha utilidad en este tipo de casos: Home Staging, que se refiere al mejoramiento de las áreas a través de remodelaciones menores que resultan significativas y tienden a mejorar considerablemente su aspecto. Remover algunos muebles para crear espacios más amplios, añadir accesorios de iluminación, poner piso nuevo, pintar tanto la fachada como las paredes internas y colocar piezas

Since buyers are guest in the property, it will always be important to make them feel free to move about the spaces.

decorativas u obras de arte contemporáneas; podrían ser la diferencia entre vender más rápido y, sobre todo, a un mejor precio.

During the tour Since buyers are guest in the property, it will always be important to make them feel free to move about the spaces. As a real estate agent, make sure you let them know they can walk through the area with complete independence. As a matter of fact, it is highly advisable to do a first tour in order to explain the amenities and provide information about the house and then let them experience the place by themselves.

Apart from giving them a moment to think about the last questions they may have, this will allow them to create an emotional connection with the residence.

According to NAR recommendations, it is not advisable to have the owners at the place when showing off a property because this may lead potential buyers to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about expressing their opinions.

Letting the residence speak for itself If you work in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit’s high-end market, consider the amount of information you offer your clients. If you exaggerate its features, you run the risk of sounding presumptuous or oversaturating your client’s mind.

Instead, let the spectacular ocean views, the exquisite finishes of the property or its many amenities speak for themselves.

Durante el recorrido Como los compradores se convierten en visitantes de la propiedad, siempre será importante que se sientan libres y con tiempo suficiente para moverse entre cada uno de los espacios. Como agente inmobiliario, indícale a tus clientes que pueden inspeccionar el área con total independencia. Incluso, es recomendable hacer un primer recorrido para explicarles las amenidades y darles la información correspondiente; después, otórgales toda la autonomía necesaria para que ellos la recorran y experimenten el lugar por su propia cuenta. Esto, además de servirles como un momento extra para pensar en las últimas preguntas que te realizarán, servirá para que se comiencen a vincular emocionalmente con el predio. De acuerdo con las recomendaciones emitidas por la NAR, no es apropiado que los dueños estén presentes cuando vayas a mostrar la propiedad, ya que esto podría provocar que los compradores potenciales se sientan incómodos o cohibidos para preguntar y expresar sus opiniones.

Dejar que la residencia hable por sí misma Si te desenvuelves en el mercado de lujo de Puerto Vallarta y Riviera Nayarit, no necesitas brindar grandes cantidades de información a tus clientes, ni exagerar sobre las bondades de los inmuebles. Además de sonar presuntuoso, podrías saturar la mente de los compradores.

En vez de eso, mejor deja que la espectacular vista hacia el mar, los impresionantes acabados del inmueble o las amenidades del complejo hablen por sí solos.

Last July, Grupo Autofin Monterrey inaugurated the Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills Resort & Spa, located in the hills of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. The capital injection for the project was $100 million USD and the development features 170 luxury villas and suites, and diverse amenities to complement the experience.

During the ceremony, Grupo Autofin president and general director Armando Véjar Cortés, announced his intention of investing another $28.5 million USD in the destination through the construction of a second resort that will feature 140 beachfront suites next to Marina Riviera Nayarit at La Cruz. If everything goes as planned, the development will open by December 2017.

Future steps for the company will be focused on the development of Puerto Bahía, a tourism complex master plan that includes the construction of several hotels, gated residential communities, golf course, hospital, tourism specialties school, shopping mall and other amenities, located in an area of approximately 790 acres.

En julio pasado, Grupo Autofin Monterrey inauguró el hotel Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills Resort & Spa, ubicado en las colinas de La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. La inyección de capital fue de $100 millones de dólares y actualmente ofrece 170 villas y suites de lujo, así como diversas amenidades para complementar la experiencia.

Durante la ceremonia, el presidente y director general del grupo, Armando Véjar Cortés, anunció su intención de invertir otros $28.5 millones de dólares en el destino a través de la construcción de un segundo resort que contará con 140 suites en la playa ubicada junto a la Marina Riviera Nayarit at La Cruz. Si todo marcha conforme a los planes, su apertura está prevista para diciembre de 2017.

Los siguientes pasos para el grupo se enfocarán en desarrollar ahí mismo el plan maestro Puerto Bahía, un complejo turístico que incluye la construcción de hoteles de distintas marcas, cotos residenciales, un campo de golf, un hospital, una escuela de especialidades turísticas, un centro comercial y otras amenidades que se repartirán en aproximadamente 320 hectáreas.

“This is the first time our company invests in the tourism industry, and we have chosen Riviera Nayarit for two important reasons: its natural diversity and the amazing national and international tourism boom that the destination is experiencing.” —Armando Véjar, Grupo Autofin Monterrey president and general director.

“Esta es la primera vez que incursionamos en la industria turística y hemos elegido a la Riviera Nayarit por dos razones principales: su vasta riqueza natural y el gran auge nacional e internacional con que cuenta este destino”. —Armando Véjar, presidente y director general de Grupo Autofin Monterrey.

5BRANDS THAT SHOULD EXPAND TO VALLARTA • NAYARIT Cinco cadenas comerciales que deberían llegar a Puerto Vallarta y Riviera Nayarit

Alexis Velasco

Home furnishing and décor retailers, department stores and technology product companies are part of a list of commercial chains that could benefit from the existing niche markets in the region.

La lista de cadenas comerciales que podrían aprovechar los nichos de mercado existentes en la región, está encabezada por almacenes de muebles y decoración, tiendas departamentales y compañías especializadas en la venta de productos tecnológicos.

In recent years, demographic growth in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit’s urban area has been significant. According to data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the population grew from 151,388 inhabitants in 1990 to 379,934 in 2010, with an average annual rate of increase of 7.56%. Aside from providing real estate opportunities, this population growth has encouraged a few large commercial brands—such as Home Depot, Liverpool and Starbucks—to set their sights on meeting the needs of those who live in the area. However, there are still several market niches that other corporations can consider. We present a list of five brands we think would success if they opened their doors in our destination.

Sanborns One of the most successful department stores in Mexico, belonging to Carso Group (conglomerate company owned by Mexican magnate Carlos Slim), Sanborns

En los últimos años, el crecimiento demográfico que ha experimentado la zona conurbada de Puerto Vallarta y Bahía de Banderas ha sido muy significativo. De acuerdo con las cifras del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), la región pasó de tener 151,388 habitantes en 1990 a 379,934 en el año 2010 (con un incremento del 7.56 % anual). Este crecimiento poblacional, además de traer oportunidades inmobiliarias, ha provocado que las grandes cadenas comerciales como Home Depot, Liverpool y Starbucks hayan puesto sus ojos en la ciudad para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de quienes vivimos en ella. Sin embargo, aún existen varios nichos de mercado que pueden ser atendidos y por ello, te presentamos una lista de marcas que consideramos que podrían tener éxito si abrieran sus puertas en el destino: Sanborns Perteneciente al Grupo Carso (propiedad del magnate mexicano Carlos Slim), Sanborns es una de las tiendas departamentales con más

Best Buy, a multinational corporation with a wide range of electronic products.

has 190 branches throughout the country.

The brand offers an extensive catalogue of products such as books, magazines, electronic devices, clothing, fragrances and jewelry. Its uniqueness lies in a café and restaurant with free internet, which has become an ideal place for shopping and coffee lovers, as well as for holding work meetings. Even though different media outlets have announced that Sanborns will be one of the brands featured in the new La Isla shopping mall (to be tentatively inaugurated in November), this information has not been confirmed by an official press release from the company, so we will have to wait until opening day.

éxito en México. Con 190 sucursales en el país, esta cadena ofrece un extenso catálogo de productos como libros, revistas, dispositivos electrónicos, ropa, fragancias y joyería. Su aspecto diferenciador incluye un restaurante y cafetería con internet libre, por lo que se ha convertido en un lugar ideal tanto para los amantes de las compras y el café, como para las reuniones de trabajo. Aunque en diferentes medios de comunicación se presume que esta tienda formará parte de los atractivos del nuevo centro comercial La Isla (que se inaugurará tentativamente en noviembre), no existe un comunicado de prensa oficial en el que se afirme esta versión, por lo que tendremos que esperar hasta la apertura del complejo.

Bed Bath & Beyond Founded in 1971, this American chain of domestic merchandise retail stores has 1,020 stores around the world. In Mexico, it has branches in Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Toluca and Morelia. This is a large establishment that sells specialized articles for bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining room; offering effective solutions for those seeking to furnish their rooms.

brand would represent the most complete option among stores that are in this line of business.

Riviera Nayarit, esta marca representaría la opción más completa en cuanto a este tipo de giro.

Best Buy While it is true that our city has department stores featuring electronics departments and technology-focused shopping plazas, the arrival of Best Buy, a multinational corporation with a wide range of products and large-scale distribution, would represent an excellent option for the local market. Have you ever purchased an electronic product from an online store because you could not find it in the city? Best Buy could provide an effective solution for this need. This chain with branches in Canada, United States and Mexico, features departments, such as video, audio, photography, computers, security, communication and all kind of accessories. Guadalajara is the only city in Western Mexico with Best Buy branches, so the opening of a store in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit could further fit the needs of the population from other Jalisco and Nayarit municipalities.

Best Buy Si bien es cierto que en nuestra región existen tiendas departamentales que tienen áreas de electrónica y plazas comerciales con locales especializados en este tipo de productos, la llegada de una empresa multinacional con gran oferta de productos y distribución a gran escala, podría significar una excelente opción para el mercado local. ¿Alguna vez compraste algún artículo electrónico en internet debido a que no lo encontraste en la ciudad? Best Buy podría brindar una solución adecuada a esta necesidad. Esta cadena con sucursales en Canadá, Estados Unidos y México ofrece aparatos electrónicos de video, audio, fotografía, computación, equipo de seguridad, dispositivos móviles y todo tipo de accesorios. En el occidente del país, solamente la ciudad de Guadalajara cuenta con filiales, por lo que una tienda en Puerto Vallarta o Riviera Nayarit podría atender a la población de otros municipios de Jalisco y Nayarit.

Pottery Barn Even though the origins of this brand with headquarters in the United States date back to 1949 and it has a global presence, it opened in Mexico only last year with a store located in Mexico City’s swanky Polanco neighborhood. Designed for clients with high purchasing power, this store is a more exclusive and refined home

Pottery Barn Aunque los orígenes de esta marca con base en Estados Unidos se remontan a 1949 y cuenta con presencia internacional, apenas llegó a México el año pasado con una sucursal que se ubica en la colonia Polanco de la Ciudad de México. Dirigida a un segmento de alto poder adquisitivo, esta tienda es una opción más exclusiva y refinada para la decoración

décor option. Its products include indoor and outdoor furniture, bedding and bath products, rugs and curtains, and other unique accessories. Without a doubt, real estate developers, representatives and owners of high-end villas, condos and residences in our destination would be frequent customers.

del hogar. Entre los productos que ofrece están los muebles para interiores y exteriores, vestimentos para camas, artículos para baños, alfombras y cortinas, entre otros accesorios únicos. Sin lugar a dudas, los desarrolladores, representantes y propietarios de villas, condominios y residencias de alto rango de nuestro destino, serían clientes frecuentes.

The Home Store A national brand similar to Pottery Barn and Beth Bath & Beyond is The Home Store. This company owned by Grupo Gigante began operations in Mexico City in 2009 and since then, has expanded to 18 branches distributed across the Metropolitan Area of the Valle de México and cities such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, León and San Luis Potosí. Its uniqueness lies on its wide range of products for home furnishing and décor purposes, following the latest design trends and offering innovative solutions at affordable prices. Its price-quality ratio and service make it stand out among other similar stores and it could be a good alternative for those looking to decorate their home on a limited budget, which would be challenging at most interior design studios and furnishing stores located in the region.

La relación calidad-precio-servicio lo hace destacar de entre otras marcas del ramo y podría ser una muy buena opción para todos aquellos que buscan decorar su hogar con un presupuesto que resultaría insuficiente en los estudios de diseño interior y mueblerías finas presentes en la región.
