Maribel Crespo of Ecuadorable Homes recently helped me lease a wonderful home in Cuenca. I worked over 30 years in commercial sales and leasing in San Diego and Napa, California in very stressful and competitive markets. I have worked with some very competent and excellent agents. I would put Maribel Crespo among them. She is fluent in English and Spanish. She is punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. Maribel helped me with every aspect of the moving experience including recommending competent movers, handymen, painters and assisted me with connecting to an internet service. She is an excellent agent and I know what a remarkable business woman is and Maribel counts among the best. Recommended by Rebecca Lockwood: adventuregirlecuador@icloud.com

In 2012 I purchased an under construction condo thru Maribel. Pretty risky under any circumstances, but not living in a country really compounded the issue. While still in the states, Maribel followed the construction, dealt with issues with the builder, and even helped me make long distance choices on materials.(I trusted her good taste). She also set me up with wonderful attorney's to protect my intrests. Everything went flawlessly, Thanks to Maribel! Neilnagle2765@gmail.com

Coming off a bad experience after using the services of another real estate person. Maribel Crespo from Ecuadorable homes was recommended by a good friend. She is a true professional,speaks perfect english,listens to your needs and showed me,many apartments that exactly fit my needs. She handled all of the legal issues,and every point was clear to me and my landlord. She returned messages within minutes,and was always on time for appointments. I live in a great apartment,and could not be happier. She’s the right person for anyone coming to a new city and country. Sincerly, Martin Feinsilver

I would like to make a long over due recommendation for Maribel Crespo, of Ecuadorable Homes here in Cuenca. I had the pleasure of meeting Maribel in the Spring of ’12. On that exploratory trip, Maribel showed me a large number of properties. I made a decision on one of them, but responsibilities back in the states caused me to put my plans on hold. On Christmas I got a nice greeting from Maribel, and she mentioned the owner/ builder was still interested in doing business with me. Maribel had set me up with a wonderful attorney team on my initial trip, and a deal was made long distance. This was a new construction project, so all manner of decisions had to be made. Through email she sent me pictures of choices to be made in the construction faze. It helps that Maribel has such wonderful taste. She pointed me in the right direction on numerous choices. She dealt directly with the architect and the builder. She was at the building frequently while it was being constructed. I was not fortunate enough be bi- lingual, so I was blessed to have Maribel there as an intermediary. She speaks flawless English. When I arrived back in the Spring of’13, all was had been contracted, and Maribel again aided me in last minute details that all new construction projects incur. I am more than happy, and confident to recommend Maribel for her expertise in the Real Estate field, and all things Ecuador. She also has contacts in every area you will need to make your house, your home! Neil Nagle

Real Estate Expert! If you need excellent and professional real estate services in the Cuenca area, whether for a short term apartment rental or to buy your dream home, you would do well to have Maribel Crespo (of Ecuadorable Homes) represent you. She is highly recommended by the folks at International Living where I met her at their expat conference in Quito. She arranged and led a fun and informative 3-day guided real estate tour of Cuenca, including van transportation, hotel accomodations and meals, where our group got to see many different types of housing available to rent or buy. Thanks to her savvy knowledge of market trends and locations, I was able to soon buy my new townhome in a quiet and safe condo complex, where I now live with my two cats. Maribel also arranged for me to have rental furniture delivered just before I left California and moved in, and also helped me to find the resources necessary to successfully settle in. She is a licensed bilingual real estate agent who understands the entire process of helping expats and locals to rent, buy, sell and/or relocate. She enjoys helping people and is always available to quickly answer your questions, and I observed where she is held in high esteem by her community. I strongly encourage you to contact Maribel so she can make your real estate dreams come true! Recommended by Bartley D’Alfonso at bdalfonso.ec@gmail.com

Maribel has been an absolute delight and has surpassed our expectations in virtually every way. Punctual, informed, courteous, committed and effective are just some of the professional adjectives I would use to describe her. On a personal level she has surpassed our expectations many times by doing things far beyond what one would expect from a realtor. She has, in fact, helped us with countless things outside the normal with helping us with information on schools, banks, lawyers, design firms and the many unanticipated details that an American who is purchasing and moving to Ecuador would run into. Beyond all these wonderful superlatives Maribel is also fully bilingual and, having lived many years in the states, has a robust understanding of foreign wants and needs. We have unhesitatingly referred potential clients to Maribel and will continue to do so because we believe in her and have every confidence that you will as well. Sincerely Derek and Clara Estes Chicago, IL (Cuenca residents in waiting)

Maribel Crespo from EcuadorableHomes is a gracious lady and a true professional, who found for me my rental condo. She spent a great deal of time with me, and brought me back to see the condo again when I wanted to refresh my memory a few days later as to whether or not this was in fact the condo of my choice, and how I might imagine furniture layout as well. Maribel setup an appointment and provided translation between myself and the condo owner, and arranged all the negotiations, copies of the association governance in English and the lease signings, as well as arranged the monthly rental payment with the appropriate bank. She provided transportation, and did a thorough job of responding to all my questions related to the building. What I particularly appreciated from Maribel was the fact that she did not steer me toward properties that did not match the criteria I had set out for her in what I was seeking. I very much enjoyed working with her, and appreciated that she was not pushy in attempting to foist a sale or rental on me. Maribel also has experience in helping in the purchase of property and businesses, serves as a financial consultant, and can be helpful with the assessment of property value. Sincerely, James Mola

We would highly recommend Maribel Crespo to help you find something to buy. She is from Cuenca, speaks English and is very knowledgeable and competent. She helped us find our condo which we bought last winter. Steve & Susan Rigney
