Thanks Maribel, Your tour was the best that I have been on since I started going to the International Living conferences. I hope to return the second week of October. Lee Pettay

We first met Maribel on our exploratory trip to Ecuador in 2011. Once we decided to come to Cuenca, we sent a very detailed “wish List” to Maribel and asked her to find just the right condo for us. She found exactly what we were looking for, skillfully handled all arrangements for us while we were still in the States, worked with our landlord to arrange for new floors and new double-pane windows to be installed, and made the entire process easy and painless. She speaks perfect English, is punctual, reliable, well-connected in Cuenca, scrupulously honest, accessible, and is always upbeat and positive. She is a delight to work with on both a personal and a business level, and we and numerous friends who have engaged Maribel highly recommend her! Karl and Brenda Sweetman

My husband and I came to Cuenca on our exploratory trip in December 2012. Despite the short notice and it being during the holidays, Maribel made time for us and drove us around to give us an idea of properties for purchase and rent. Once we moved here in October 2013, we contacted Maribel right away, and began looking for properties….Maribel had remembered our criteria from the year before and immediately showed us a property which was too good to pass up…we ended up buying it, although we had intended to rent at first. Throughout the process, Maribel was available to us immediately, by e-mail, by phone, and in person. She held our hand, explaining the processes in her impeccable English. We highly recommend Maribel (in fact, relatives of ours are going through the process now to purchase two properties from Maribel) for her work ethic, her non-pushy demeanor, her expertise, and her loyalty. Maribel did not stop helping after we bought the property…she put us in touch with an electrician, a plumber, a handyman, a locksmith, and even helped translate for us when we hired a maid. Moreover, Maribel was helpful in locating a tailor and most recently, a general physician. She is very well-connected and highly regarded in her field, as well as in Cuenca. Thanks Maribel, for helping make our house a home and being genuine throughout the process. Deepa Aggarwal

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

I too would like to recommend Maribel Crespo as an excellent realtor for anyone who wishes to rent or purchase a property in Cuenca. Maribel is one of the most effective realtors that I have ever encountered. The main thing that separates Maribel from other realtors whom we have encountered is her ability to listen to our needs and then work very hard to find just what we asked for. We had encountered other realtors in Cuenca on a previous trip who were more interested in what they wanted to sell rather than what we were interested in. They were not prepared to show us properties that we were interested in, even though we gave them information about our desires prior to meeting with them. This summer Maribel spent time showing us exactly what we were looking for. We found the property we were interested in and Maribel guided us through the complete process. Since we are not moving to Cuenca for a year, Maribel was able to find tenants for one year and has managed the property in our absence. If you are interested in a real estate experience that is truly unique and free of stress, please contact Maribel Crespo at http://www.ecuadorablehomes.com/, phone 098 484 7855, email: ecuadorablehomes@gmail.com Gary Police

During my time in the U.S. Army I came across a compliment that was used if some one did something extraordinary. It would be said that the person went ‘over and above the call of duty.’ You, Maribel, have done that for me. I deeply appreciate the time and effort you have taken to help me out. Marty Marzolf

Maribel helped us find the perfect condo in Cuenca and then helped us through each step of the purchase process. Now she has helped us find our second home on the coast. We turn to Maribel to give us good advice and introduce us to people who can provide us with additional assistance. Sincerely Bob Cox

My husband and I came to Ecuador from the US for a 3-month reconnaissance trip to identify a community where we might like to settle down. We liked Cuenca very much and, days before the end of our trip, on the recommendation of a US expat, we took a quick tour of Cuenca condos and homes with local realtor, Maribel Crespo who showed us a home in the countryside that was a very good fit, given our particular requirements. In addition to speaking excellent English, we found Maribel to be efficient, honest, reliable, resourceful, with a quick mind, and always “simpatica” personality, and a total commitment to customer satisfaction regardless of wealth or the size of the purchase. The home we liked was listed by another real estate agent so her commission was relatively small; however, Maribel was able to match us with that home within about 3 hours. It was simply delightful to work with Maribel. When we later decided to delay our move to Ecuador substantially, Maribel Crespo went the extra distance to help coordinate fit-out of our newly-constructed new home with appliances and accessories, and minor fix-up, as needed for rental. And once the home was ready, she found a suitable tenant even before we had it formally listed. We highly recommend Maribel who provided invaluable assistance to us as we prepared to move to Ecuador.

Hi Maribel! We wanted to let you know we made it back home safely and without problems. More importantly we wish to send you a very heartfelt ‘thank you’ for all your kindness during our Cuenca, and environs, visit. Your city is very beautiful. The countryside is beautiful. It was a fabulous trip that exceeded all of our expectations. Your thoughtful, and most likely very time consuming, planning is greatly appreciated. Again, we want to thank you for putting together such a complete tour. Showing the city first certainly should help you to sell the properties. For us, understanding more of the city has helped in our decision process. Best regards, Alan & Annie Anderson St. Augustine, FL

Good evening Maribel, Just wanted to send you a short note about the trip and your services so far. The direction you have taken the tour has been outstanding! Allowing people to get a good feel helps them become More confident to make a buying decisions. Timothy Corral
