AMPI Riviera Nayarita and Punta de Burro
by Marilyn Newman
Imagine the sparkling sea lapping gentle at a beautiful sandy beach in front of stunning multi-million dollar homes and you have envisioned Punta del Burro on the north shore of Bahia de Banderas where the monthly meeting of AMPI Riviera Nayarita was held this past Thursday, June 18th. Beneath the beach palapa of Casa Playa Arizona, local realtors met for an informal breakfast hosted by La Punta Realty and Cochran Real Estate and to deliberate over the assembly’s agenda.
As soon as Tere Kimball, the presiding president of this AMPI chapter, called the meeting to order, Mr. Ron Lavigna, president of the Homeowner’s Association of Punta del Burro was introduced and asked to give the attendees an overview and update of the new infrastructure project currently underway in this ritzy enclave. Mr. Lavigna provided a bit of background information on the area and reported the homeowners had initiated a $500,000 dollar infrastructural project to upgrade water and electrical installations and bring in much needed telephone and internet services to the area.
Next on the agenda was an update regarding the AMPI approved real estate courses coming up in July and August, Real Estate Courses I and II. All realtors are required to have a minimum of 25 hours of continuing education per year to remain AMPI associates and affiliates. Of course these upcoming 40-hour accreditation courses represent much more than meeting minimum requirements and exemplify the real estate professional’s desire to maintain their high standard of service and excellence. These courses are recognized by the Ministry of Education (SEP – Secretaría de Educación Pública).
The assembly was also reminded of the seminar that will be held on Tuesday, June 30th at the Westin Resort and Spa Hotel (Marina Vallarta) from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; “Managing your business in volatile times and the economic barometer” is the topic of this seminar to be given by Deloitte Touche, an international accounting and consulting firm.
After completing other general business topics the meeting was adjourned and an impressive tour was conducted of Casa La Playa Arizona, with an asking price of $1,600,000 USD, 4+ bedroom, 4.5 bath, 378 m2 villa with breathtaking views of the beach and bay.
