About Me

Hola! My name is Gabriel Jones, and I am proud to be MexHome’s first-hired and longest-serving agent, with seven years of service and more than 60 successful sales and purchases completed on behalf of clients. Whether it is helping you get top dollar in a sale or find your perfect property for purchase, I am honored to work with you.

My journey in Mexican real estate began when my wife and I relocated from Vancouver, BC to Sayulita, Mexico in 2012. My first job was writing articles and selling advertising for Mexi-Go! magazine, a lifestyle and real estate guide for Canadians wanting to travel to and retire in Mexico. In my four years with Mexi-Go! I learned a lot about this amazing country and how real estate works here. The more I’ve learned about Mexico, the more I grew to love it and despite spending time in many of Mexico’s amazing destinations I was always happy to return home to the beautiful Riviera Nayarit.

Eight years ago, we fulfilled a lifelong dream by purchasing our first Sayulita home. We then did an extensive renovation, adding four vacation rental units to our home and transforming it into Casa Vecino Guesthouse. While we were building, I started managing other friends’ and neighbors’ vacation rentals. For five years, I managed Casa Vecino Guesthouse and other premier vacation rental properties in Sayulita’s dynamic vacation rental market. This hands-on experience gave me valuable insights into the local real estate landscape, from property acquisition and construction to successful vacation rental management. In December 2021, we sold Casa Vecino Guesthouse, allowing me to focus entirely on real estate. We also moved to nearby La Cruz where we are building a new family compound.

I still work in our Sayulita office, splitting time between there and our Bucerias office. During my career, I have had sales in Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias, La Cruz, Punta de Mita, Sayulita, San Pancho, Lo de Marcos, and Playa los Cocos – so I have the Bay of Banderas and Riviera Nayarit covered. I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and personal experience to assist you in your tropical property search.

Whether you’re seeking your dream vacation/ retirement home, a lucrative investment property, or you are ready to sell a property, I am here to guide you every step of the way. I am excited to share my expertise and help you achieve your Mexico real estate goals. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me today—I look forward to working with you!

Agent's Reviews

Barbara Stavropoulos

An Excellent Realtor in PV!

We are writing to express our sincere gratitude and offer our highest recommendation for Gabriel and his assistant, Heather, who recently helped us purchase a beautiful penthouse condo in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. From start to finish their professionalism, dedication, and expertise made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

Gabriel was exceptional in understanding our needs and brought in many high-level resources to help with all aspects of our purchase. These included interior design services, a home inspector, and property managers. The inspection turned out to be very important in helping us identify some issues that were immediately addressed by the developer. Additionally, Gabriel provided us with excellent on-site representation on our behalf at the pre-close inspection of our condo.

Heather was also very helpful and her support throughout this process provided significantly to the smooth progression of our transaction.

Together, Gabriel and Heather provided a level of service that went above and beyond our expectations. They were always available, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable with every decision. Their teamwork, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence were truly impressive.

We highly recommend them to anyone looking for dedicated, knowledgeable, and trustworthy real estate professionals.

Highly professional and informed real estate experience

I have been coming to Sayulita for 15 years and ultimately decided to purchase a home in the town I have come to love so much. Gabriel supported me for three years as we looked for the ideal casa. I found Gabriel to be extremely professional, informed (which was essential as a foreign buyer), and efficient. What could be a difficult experience was made to be simplified and straightforward. HIGHLY recommend Gabriel! Additionally, I feel I’ve mad a friend throughout the process given Gabriel is a respected member of the community and has expanded his network to me. Will absolutely use again.

Best Real Estate Experience

We had an amazing experience working with Gabe and his team to sell our casa. Everything was explained in detail so that we understood what to expect and we were notified promptly of any deviations from our timeline, etc. The casa was sold efficiently and Gabe worked with us so that we knew exactly what we would be “walking away with” after all fees, taxes, etc. The photos were professional and the written listing was accurate and pleasing. Gabe and Heather were wonderful to work with and we can’t say enough good things about them. If ever need property in the area again, we will be turning to Gabe and his team. Thank you so much!!!!!

Gabriel Jones and team: highly recommended residential real estate professionals!

Gabriel came highly recommended to us by a close friend. We were not disappointed. Gabriel and his team patiently taught us (Canadians) Mexican sale protocols and provided great assistance and recommendations which permitted us to reasonably mitigate tax consequences of the sale through the application of available (eligible) options. These strategies exceeded our net-recovery expectations. Gabriel’s team worked hard to move the sale to completion, which was concluded just yesterday, without incident. Impressive, honest and hard-working experts. We recommend Gabriel Jones to you without reservation.

BEST home buying experience we’ve EVER had!!

From the first phone call to the closing, our home buying experience was phenomenal! We connected via MexHome’s site as we searched the area around Puerto Vallarta, hoping we’d find our retirement home. Gabriel called and we had a very informative conversation about pros and cons of certain cities, the process of buying as a foreigner, how to attain residency, and more. We booked a flight and made an appointment for showings.

Gabriel, along with his then-new assistant, Heather, picked us up from our AirBnB armed with a variety of very good prospects based on our earlier conversations in Bucerias and La Cruz. As we drove around, they pointed out great places to eat, oriented us toward the beach, and chatted about life in Mexico. At each property, Gabriel was knowledgeable about the attributes of each home and neighborhood. He was very clear about fees and processes and how they compared to US home buying. We never felt rushed. After the viewings were treated to lunch and a nice “debriefing” conversation. By this time we felt like we had made our first friends in Nayarit! In fact, we went for dinner another evening.

We fell in love with one of the homes we saw that day and asked for a second viewing, then put in an offer before the flight back home. During those long weeks of escrow, Gabriel and Heather were ever-present. We had group chats and group emails with everyone needed to complete the purchase. They were both quick to respond to all questions. Many times, the answer was “we can help with that when you’re back down here” and we never doubted that they would. Gabriel even connected us with an amazing builder for a renovation project we wanted.

The day finally came to sign and get keys and the experience of buying in Mexico just got better. Gabriel picked us up from the airport and took us to our new home for the walk through. We had time to kill before the signing, and we were treated to a couples massage and lunch. The closing appointment was actually fun! The sellers were there with their agent. We had Gabriel and Heather and the notary officials. We laughed and chatted and Gabriel had champagne for everyone to celebrate our new home.

We highly recommend Gabriel and Heather. They are engaging, caring, honest, knowledgeable folks. We had no unwelcome surprises, would work with them again, and are thrilled to now call them neighbors and friends.

Wonderful Experience and Incredible Advocate

Met Gabriel after an initial property I had sourced online fell through. in contract. Gabriel took the initial plans we had and ran with it to find a selection of potential properties. Through Gabe’s skill and local knowledge we ended up with a better property that we initially sourced. He is also a great guy!

FANTASTIC service & our DREAM came true

We were just randomly paired up with Gabriel when we decided to consider buying a house in Mexico. It was absolutely such a fun experience and he made all of our dreams come true by making it so easy. We loved learning from him and got the best place for us in the exact location we wanted. He’s definitely the best resource for Ex Pats who want to move or own in Mexico.

Sale of Hacienda San Pancho Condo

I know this was a tough one for Gabriel. I had only owned this property a short time, but the heat and humidity of San Pancho made year round living too difficult for me. Gabe determined the Fair Market Value of the property and was able to find a buyer that agreed within just a few months. Bravo!!

Honesty, Integrity, and Experience – Gabe Has It All

Purchasing property in a foreign country is a daunting experience. Once we connected with Gabe, we knew that we were in good hands. Having lived in Mexico for the last decade, Gabe was an established member of the community with a wealth of real estate experience. We purchased two different properties in Sayulita with Gabe. Each time, he proved he was a dedicated professional willing to going above and beyond for his clients and provide amazing peace-of-mind. If you’re considering moving to Mexico, do yourself and a favor and work with the best. Five Stars!!!

Great communication!

Our condo sold quite quickly and, thanks to Gabriel, we were always in the loop as to how things were going.
Once it was sold Gabriel was a tremendous help in ensuring all the correct documentation was collected and submitted on time.
Would totally recommend choosing Gabriel and Mexhome to look after your real estate needs in Mexico.
