Agent's Reviews

Nikita Maxwell

Best Agent Ever

Leyla Morris helped us purchase a condo in Sayulita and I can honestly say it was the smoothest easiest real estate transaction I’ve ever been part of. Coming from the US, we didn’t have any idea what we were doing purchasing property in Mexico but Leyla walked us through every step of the way. We had so many questions (and a little anxiety) and she was extremely patient and responsive. Leyla is very down to earth, and her relaxed and easy going demeanor helped make everything a lot less stressful. She is very knowledgeable about the laws regarding foreigners purchasing property in Mexico and helped us navigate the system without any hiccups. Leyla went above and beyond even after the closing. She introduced us to her favorite places in Sayulita, explained the ins and out of the school system, gave us recommendations for residency lawyers and property managers, and just simply tried to give us all the info and resources we need to embark on our exciting new adventure.

Working with Leyla has been nothing short of incredible!

Over the years, we have completed four real estate transactions together, both buying and selling properties, and we could not have asked for a better agent to guide us through every step of the journey. Leyla is exceptionally professional, honest, dedicated, and hardworking. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients are truly outstanding. No matter the challenge, she was always there to help, advise, and find solutions. We are deeply grateful for everything she has done for us from the very first day we met. Beyond being an outstanding real estate professional, she has become someone we trust and genuinely appreciate. We wholeheartedly recommend Leyla to anyone looking for the very best real estate agent. If you are buying or selling a property, you simply could not be in better hands. Thank you, Leyla, for everything. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with you. With gratitude and warmest regards, The Kiełczewski Family ❤️🏡🦋

Patient – Professional – PERFECT!

Aurora and I have had a dream to own a home in Sayulita, MX for several years. We aren’t new to property investment in the US, but had no idea where to start in Mexico. A previous trip to Sayulita fatefully aligned us with Leyla Morris who helped us make this dream come true!

From the moment we connected, Leyla went above and beyond to understand our vision and guide us through the complexities of purchasing real estate in Mexico. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market, patient with our countless questions, and proactive in addressing any challenges that arose along the way. Her professionalism and genuine passion for helping her clients were evident in every interaction.

Leyla’s expertise and network of local contacts were invaluable, from finding the perfect property to navigating logistical hurdles. She ensured that every detail was handled smoothly and efficiently, making the entire process far less intimidating than we had anticipated. Her warmth and dedication made us feel like more than just clients—she truly became a trusted partner and friend in our journey!

Thanks to Leyla, we are now the proud owners of a beautiful home in Sayulita, a place where we can build lasting memories with family and friends. We wholeheartedly recommend Leyla Morris to anyone looking to buy property in Sayulita or the surrounding area. She is a rare gem in the real estate world, and we are forever grateful for her role in helping us achieve our dream.

Leyla Morris: Great Realtor

Leyla was very attentive and knowable about every aspect of the sale of our new home. She always was fast to get back to us and went through the idiosyncrasies of the Mexican real estate process very patiently.

Leyla will be an excellent choice for an agent when you need one.

Absolutely Great

Leyla was a great realtor right from the beginning. Leyla listen to us, she understood what we needed, what we wanted, what we hoped for. She took all of that and combined it with her incredible knowledge and got us ready to sell our house. The photographers and videographers that she works with are top notch. Leyla’s ideas are reasonable and exceptional. She took our lives into consideration while our house was on the market, including our pets and my elderly mom that lives with us. Leyla went that extra mile whenever needed. She kept us informed and was a pleasure to work with. I would totally recommend Leyla to anyone.

Trabajar con Leyla Morris (Tommy 3 – Selva Maaku)

He estado trabajando con Leyla desde mayo de 2022 para comprar, diseñar y construir mi futura casa en el barrio Selva Maaku en Sayulita. Leyla ha sido una gran socia al apoyarme en el aprendizaje de las complejidades de la compra de bienes raíces en México, ha sido una gran socia trabajando con el desarrollador y el arquitecto en los detalles de diseño y construcción de la casa, y ha sido una gran asesora en la toma de decisiones sobre estos detalles, así como la estrategia de compromiso con el equipo para obtener los mejores resultados posibles. Ha sido una excelente agente y estoy agradecida por haber conectado con ella para alcanzar mis sueños.
