“When my husband and I visited Ajijic for the first time, we were just scoping out the area with no intent to buy. This was the 3rd area we visited in 4 months. Amanda was not put off by our just wanting to get a feel for the community. She patiently took us to the different lakeside towns, giving us some background on each area, and showed us various properties. When we decided to buy, she remained patient with our decision making process. She was also very helpful in working out the many, many issues we had on the properties we wanted to buy, especially since we were back in the States for most of the process. We felt comfortable and trusted Amanda from the start. She is great at her job. We appreciate her honesty and ability to get things done. Amanda is one of those realtors you always hope to find.”

“It is our great pleasure to recommend Amanda Turner as an exceptional real estate professional.   If you are looking for property in the Lake Chapala, Ajijic, or San Juan Cosalá region, you will benefit from Amanda’s ability to cater the process to your preferences and other inputs. From the very beginning of our Mexico home-buying journey, she impressed us with her in-depth knowledge of the Lake Chapala region. Her understanding of the local market, from pricing trends to neighborhood dynamics and available housing options, was unparalleled. She took the time to listen carefully to my needs and wants and then guided me with thoughtful advice and valuable insights that made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She arranged for us to see everything we asked for and some properties we never would have seen without her local market knowledge and advice. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident and informed at every step, and her attention to detail gave us such great peace of mind that we trusted her with full power of attorney to close our transaction with the Notaria while we were not in town. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Lake Chapala, Ajijic, or San Juan Cosalá areas—you will be in the best of hands.”

“The REAL Amanda Turner Experience! As with many others, I first became acquainted with Amanda through her real estate videos on YouTube. We had already made several visits to Ajijic and knew that it would be the right fit for us. What we didn’t know was what neighborhood would best suit the lifestyle we wanted to live. Our initial contact with Amanda was through email. We provided her with a selection of researched properties and neighborhoods and requested her feedback. She quickly replied with detailed suggestions for touring the properties and other potential options. We settled on a date to fly back to Ajijic to meet and view the properties. The REAL Amanda Turner experience begins! Amanda showed us multiple properties across various locations. She would explain the lifestyle that goes along with each neighborhood. She pointed out potential problems with construction, utilities, resale, and amenities. The properties selected were purposely in different price ranges, allowing us to see how far our money would go in each neighborhood. We had seen a house the prior year and asked Amanda to show it to us again. The property faced multiple issues, with overvaluation being the most significant. We requested Amanda's view on the home. She conducted a market evaluation, located a previous inspection report, developed a negotiation strategy, and, after several exchanges with the owner, agreed on a mutually acceptable price.With the help of Amanda’s team, we closed thirty days later.The property required significant renovation. Amanda recommended her contractor to us and even took us by a property he was renovating. We not only took her recommendation, but we also used the paint colors she used in her Bed and Breakfast and Café. Did I mention she owns Estrellita’s bed and breakfast and El Gato Feo Café? Well, that is another REAL Amanda Turner story for another day! Amanda was a pleasure to work with. She demonstrates professionalism, extensive knowledge, and dedication to ensuring that her clients secure their ideal home. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of property or the Realtor who made it possible! We highly recommend you experience The REAL Amanda Turner!”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Amanda Turner finding a house in the Chapala Lakeside community for my wife and I. I found Amanda very knowledgeable and patient in working with us.  She listened carefully to us to help us find a home that met our needs.  We looked extensively in the Ajijic, Riberas, and San Antonio communities.  I would recommend her without hesitation for anyone who is looking to find a home in this area.”

“We worked with Amanda to successfully sell our house last fall.  Our experience was excellent.  She answered all our questions and knew who to contact to get everything done.  She always made herself or her partner available when needed for showings.  The video she and her partner produced was outstanding, they went the extra mile to pull in information about the surrounding area and add the beautiful music to go with it which gave a nice flair to the video. Job well done. We strongly recommend, and have recommended, Amanda Turner and her team.”

“When my wife Victoria and I first thought of the possibility of moving to Mexico we started like many people going online and watching UTUBE! We came across this bubbly informative woman who caught our attention. She was a wealth of knowledge about the real estate market and the Ajijic area which was most invaluable. We eventually contacted her to make an appointment to come view homes. She spent numerous hours showing us the area explaining how things work and the differences between neighborhoods. Our first trip was astonishing due to her diligence, thoroughness hearing our wants and needs. Shortly after returning home to the states, we made the decision to buy a home in the area knowing we had confidence in Amanda. We arrived at the end of October, within a few weeks after another exhaustive search we had seen nothing that fit. We were starting to feel disappointment after another days long search. Amanda said wait I have an idea; she took us to a home that was not on our radar. She said the house has good bones and is in one of the best neighborhoods. As we arrived our disappointment faded, she found us our new home. Expletives can not do justice to the hardest working realtor in Ajijic.”

“We found Amanda through her YouTube channel and liked her right away. She’s proactive, has a positive attitude, and is realistic about the market. Amanda and the team at Lake Chapala Real Estate went above and beyond to close our house when the process became complicated. We highly recommend her and them!”

“I entered Mexico on December 2022 when the Canadian Lockdown due to Covid had been lifted with the goal of staying in Mexico for full time. By March 2023 I decided to settle in Lake Chapala. I searched online for a realtor for the purpose of buying a house. That realtor ignored my description of a home and showed me places not suitable for a 78 year old single woman. Then I stayed at the B&B Owned by Amanda Turner. At the breakfast table I chatted with another guest, she told me that Amanda is an excellent realtor, that her services are beyond expectations. And honestly she over delivers every single time. Amanda listened to me and the next day showed me a few properties that was suitable to my description of a future home in the area. She never rushed me while explaining the pros and cons of each house. My dream was a Mexican style 2 beds 2 baths house with plenty of space in and outside of the house, and in a price range I could afford. And wow she found it for me ….the Lake and Mountains view was the cream on the cake. She accompanied me to the lawyers and the different service providers. Helped me to select the best internet server. She explained things and procedures that is different from North American standers which further helped me to understand my dealings in and around Lake Chapala. She gives 100% and lots of bonuses. I highly recommend Amanda Turner to any potential buyers wanting to settle in this beautiful area of Mexico. When you surf the net for the best real estate agent look for : therealamandaturner.com, you’ll be surprised by her unique approach to fulfil your needs.”
