Ana F. (Expat since 2011)
bilingual Mazatlán Specialist
Ana is a fun-loving Canadian originally from Venezuela who traded snow for sunshine in 2011. After one too many harsh winters, she packed up her life and made the leap to Mazatlán, a decision she’s never regretted.
Deeply involved in the snowbird and expat community, Ana delights in helping others uncover the hidden gems that make Mazatlán such a special place to call home.
When she’s not guiding newcomers through their Mazatlán adventures, Ana wears many hats: she’s a creative web designer, enthusiastic tour guide with Adventures Mazatlán, and an emerging YouTuber sharing insights and inspiration about life in Mexico. She also manages two thriving Facebook communities: Mazatlán Snowbird Rentals and the Mazatlán Snowbird & Expat Activity Group, connecting people, resources, and experiences across the city.
Chris M. (Expat since 2023)
Rentals Scout
Originally from Alberta, Chris traded snow boots for sandals in 2023 and never looked back. Since settling in Mazatlán, he’s become the go-to “scout” for newcomers searching for the perfect home in paradise.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy studio or a luxury condo with ocean views, Chris works tirelessly to ensure you get exactly what you’re looking for. From property searches to paperwork, he takes care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying your new life in the sun.
When he’s not helping clients find their dream homes, you’ll often find Chris strolling along the beach with his loyal sidekick, Percy, a spirited Mexican Chihuahua rescue.
