Testimonial – We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Katie Ibarra. From our first conversation to the day we got the keys, Katie brought a rare mix of professionalism, warmth, and tenacity. Buying a home in San Juan, Cosalá, could have been overwhelming—navigating the language, legal processes, and cultural differences—but Katie made it all feel seamless.

Her deep knowledge of the local market and her trusted network of notarios, inspectors, and contractors made all the difference. Katie anticipated challenges before they arose and communicated clearly every step of the way. She was our advocate through the entire process, making sure every detail was handled with care and integrity.

Thanks to Katie, we’re not just proud homeowners in a beautiful lakeside town—we’re part of a community we love.
