Welcome To My Information Blog

This is my first entry into the world of blogging. Semana Santa has passed and things will be winding back down to a smoother pace here in town. Every year I look forward to the increased tourism of Spring Break and Semana Santa and every year I look forward to things winding back down to a reasonable pace again.
The real estate market is gaining momentum here again even with the bad press brought about by the ever present snake oil salesmen and land ownership disputes. Tourism is of course on the rise again and we are even enjoying some very promising write-ups from the Los Angeles Times as well as Texas and Arizona newspapers. Life is pretty good here in rocky point and I for love this place.
I am currently working on my new office located on the short cut to town from Sandy Beach along "Quad Rental Row." Both my business partner and my wife think the remodel is going a bit slower than it should, but I want to make sure it is just right before I open it up for business. It is scheduled to be open by the end of next week if all goes well with Telmex and CFE on installing what I want - where I want.
There are two real estate associations operating in Rocky Point; The Puerto Penasco Association of Real Estate Agents and AMPI. Recently the two organizations have been discussing the possibility of joining forces to get the companies that belong to the local AMPI chapter on the Flex MLS hosted and used by the membership of PPAREA. It is looking like the "Merger" is probably not going to happen which would still leave the companies which choose not to join PPAREA without access or the ability to post their listings on the Flex MLS. This is not a good thing for those without access to the MLS or their client base. Hopefully, the remaining hold-out business will recognize the necessity of being on the Flex MLS and join PPAREA. You can see a list of companies that are currently on the MLS at www.rockypointmultilist.com if you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Puerto Penasco. Please don't sell yourself short.
I do have to mention something I witnessed the other day and I wish I had not. There was a terrible accident on the Playa Encanto road on Good Friday. I cannot stress enough just how precious life is and how we all need to be careful and know to be safe and alert of what we are doing while operating a motor vehicle. It saddens me tremendously to see visitors get hurt down here so please be careful. Thank you for your time and come back for more postings. Have a great week.
