The success of the Prudential Vallarta team has been remarkable since it formally opened in March 2004. We are the Puerto Vallarta real estate market leader in property listings and we have been consistently ranked among the top 3 selling agencies in Puerto Vallarta.

Whether you are looking to buy a home or condominium in the Banderas Bay area, or are simply considering a vacation rental, Prudential Vallarta has the professionals on hand to help you through the process.

Buyer's Rep Specialists:
You come to Puerto Vallarta to have a wonderful time, right? Prudential can make it simple and enjoyable for you to find and negotiate the purchase of the Vallarta-area property that's right for you. As your representatives, your best interests are our only interests.

We have the patience and expertise for this process - after all, Prudential has been in business for more than 130 years.

Data Base Searches:
When you explain your objectives to us, we won't just respond with a few easy anecdotal options. We make a science of the search process.

Let us help you electronically sort through all of the region's properties based on your criteria for price, location, type, size, number of bedrooms, new construction or resale properties.

You name it, we'll find it.

Seller's Rep Specialists:
As a seller, your No. 1 goal is to sell your home as quickly as possible at or near the listing price. In today's market, where there is much more competition for buyers, it is important to put your best foot, or in this case, home forward because first impressions are vital.

Prudential can guide you through the selling process to maximum property exposure and hit the mark right from the beginning. We will prepare a free comparative market analysis to price your property well to ensure it stands out from the rest.

Fully Bilingual and Bicultural Sales Professionals:
Prudential Vallarta is the only real estate agency on the Bay that requires all of its sales associates to be fully bilingual.

But Prudential sales associates also understand the nuances of business relationships between very different cultures. The process of cultural translation for their clients is their "pan comida de cada dia" - their bread for every day.

Strictly Enforced Ethical Standards:
We have been around since the 19th Century. We didn't survive and prosper for more than 130 years without strict requirements for sound business ethics.

Close Cooperation with all AMPI-member Real Estate Agencies:
AMPI is the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals. If your agency is a member, you can feel secure that they have made a serious commitment to professional standards, ethics and training.

Prudential Vallarta works closely with all AMPI-member agencies to make sure that all listed properties in the region are included in any data base property search for our clients.
