KALI TOVAR

Yes. Puerto Vallarta sits inside Mexico's restricted zone, so foreign buyers typically hold coastal property through a fideicomiso, a bank trust that grants full rights to use, rent, renovate, sell, and pass on the property. Kali walks clients through how the trust is established, what it costs to set up, and what it costs to maintain each year.

Yes. Kali is bilingual in English and Spanish and works with both national and international buyers. She explains the Mexican process in clear terms, often drawing comparisons that feel familiar to clients coming from the United States or Canada.

Yes. Her experience in the development of a boutique hotel in Puerto Vallarta gives her practical insight into vacation rental operations, property maintenance, renovation budgeting, labor considerations, and the tax obligations that come with rental income in Mexico.

Kali provides a detailed breakdown of expenses from the beginning, including acquisition tax, notario fees, trust setup and annual trust fees, and ongoing carrying costs. She outlines the options in different scenarios and works alongside trusted attorneys, notarios, and accountants so nothing surfaces late in the process.

Kali serves Puerto Vallarta and the greater Banderas Bay area, with particular depth in Marina Vallarta, Centro, Zona Romántica, Amapas, Conchas Chinas, and Nuevo Vallarta. She compares neighborhoods on appreciation history, rental demand, and day-to-day livability rather than reputation alone.

Timelines vary with the property and the financing structure. A cash purchase requiring a new fideicomiso commonly runs several weeks from accepted offer to closing, since the trust permit and bank documentation drive the schedule. Kali maps out the expected timeline at the offer stage so clients can plan travel and funds transfers around it.

Buyer representation through Coldwell Banker La Costa is provided at no direct cost to the buyer in the standard transaction structure, since commission is paid from the sale proceeds. Kali confirms the specific arrangement in writing before a client begins searching.
