Our Reviews

Fabian worked with my husband and me to find our home in San Miguel. He listened carefully to our needs and showed us properties that met our criteria. We ended up finding a property in our preferred neighborhood where we are now building our home. He shepherded us through the negotiation, contract and closing. He knew we loved the work of architect Felipe Arguilles, so he set up a meeting with him so we could meet him and discuss our vision. Fabian is extremely knowledgeable, well connected in San Miguel, a great listener and is super responsive to calls, texts, WhatsApp and emails. He has helped us with numerous questions after the sale and is always ready to help in any way. To top it off, he is very personable, professional and enjoyable to work with. I am a broker in Austin and own a brokerage firm there, so I know an excellent Realtor when I work with one. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in San Miguel.

Hi, I would just like to share my experience that we had during this process with Fabian Ramirez, the truth is that we had been looking for a house in San Miguel for several months and for some reason or another things had not worked out but when we started the process with Fabian we never received a no or no can not as an answer from him, He is a very proactive person and determined to make things work out for the best for both parties, seller and buyer, we are very happy to have met him and in less than 30 days we closed the purchase process, he always has an answer and a solution for any setback, we highly recommend him.

Best Regards,

We decided to sell our house on 29 Malaga, Malanquin de golf in May. Fabian was recommend to us as being a really good realtor so we called and signed a contract with him. He got all of the preparations done fast and our house was on the market. Throughout the time of showing the house, Fabian was always quick in getting back to us what the potential buyers thoughts and their reactions were and comments to our home. He would let us know the trends of people buying homes. When we had an offer he was very helpful in every step of the process, advising us and explaining what we needed to complete the closing. On the day we signed the final documents, he drove us to Celaya and helped us through.

Fabian is a very pleasant and knowledgeable person to work with. He is energetic and gets the job done. We were most happy and satisfied with his performance and will recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for a most competent and professional realtor.

Sincerely,

Vicki and Dan Robinson

We had a great experience working with Fabian! He was a great listener and communicator (perfect English as well as Spanish) and never ever pushy or salesy.

Other realtors tended to follow us around as we looked at houses and Fabian made himself available for questions but never pushed.

He was also extremely helpful in lining up contractors to get quotes on various house projects before and after we purchased our home.

We found our unexpected dream home through Fabian and couldn’t be happier!

In 2015 we decided to invest in a property in San Miguel de Allende, I reached out to Daniel Ortiz of CBSMART looking for advise, we liked a Rosewood Residence. Daniel and his team managed all aspects of the transaction in keeping with our interests and expectations. Thanks to his diligence we acquired the property, which we own till this date.

Furthermore and thanks to the good professional relationship we have kept, we are in continued contact on investment opportunities with his advise and support.

We lived in Mexico for about 15 years- in Puerto Vallarta and San Miguel de Allende. During that period, we moved residences on numerous occasions. We were represented by varied real estate brokers/agents on these transactions. On our final sale, early this year, we retained Daniel to represent us on the sale of our residence at Rosewood Residences in San Miguel de Allende. There is NO comparison between him and the other realtors. He was knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, efficient, friendly and professional. As one example, all of the buy-sell agreements provided to us by other realtors had to be reviewed by us requiring them to make varied corrections. Daniel’s documents were letter perfect! We sold our residence at almost the full listing price; and that too, within the time frame we had in mind. We very strongly recommend Daniel to anyone in San Miguel de Allende who wishes to retain the best there is!

To my agent Daniel Ortiz,

Selling a home is a BIG challenge anywhere in the world, in particular a home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Why? Because there are always mysteries and hidden secrets in these ancient homes; because there are endless restrictions in what we can or cannot do in the protected UNESCO historic center of town. There are always surprises in a “innocent” renovation like fixing a leaking wall or a toilet drain. Suddenly someone might show up with a Stop Work order and put an indefinite Hold on your hot to trot project and throw your deadline out of the window. All those obstacles happened to our project. But thanks to Daniel and his team of professionals we raced to the finish line with victory.

Thanks Daniel for your critical review from the beginning, we got our home fixed! All problems, from the smallest to the most obvious were dealt with until we had and impeccable home fit for a King! Then you set to work and work hard to deliver.

I never forget the day you called at our breakfast to say: “You have an offer!” Wow! That was it! The rest is history. Thank you Daniel, Ivy and Martha. With your intuition and know how you and your professional team had guided us through the complex process so smoothly.

You are amazing! No wonder you named your business COLDWELLBANKER SMART!!!
With our most grateful hugs,
