Maribel recently sold a condo for me in Cuenca and handled the entire process beautifully! She managed each step efficiently, professionally and with grace. Within 24 hours of listing she posted photos and details on her website. She priced it correctly and actively marketed and showed the property. When the buyer was ready she smoothly managed the process to closing in just a few weeks. Her business practices were in direct contrast to the expat realtor I'd previously listed the property with: He priced it way too high, took 6 weeks to post it online and in 6 months showed the place only twice. Maribel is a STAR! I am so grateful to have found her! Sheila Donnell

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

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

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)

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.

We are happy to provide a positive referral on behalf of Maribel Crespo as a real estate representative in Ecuador. In her efforts to represent the sale of our Ecuadorian property, we found her to be consistently knowledgable, professional, courteous, responsive and prompt in all her dealings with us. She is sensitive and considerate of the different cultural perceptions that incoming North Americans have in regards to real estate vis-a-vis Ecuadorians. She offers good advice and counsel in dealing with the complex Ecuadorian real estate environment. Without hesitation, we recommend her as a reliable agent. Roger and Suzanne Yazell

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 accommodations 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

"The photos taken by Maribel Crespo of our penthouse condominium in Cuenca were so appealing that I wanted to buy it! Maribel went to extra effort to stage our apartment for the photos and she consulted us on what to include in the sale of the property. The listing on Ecuadorable Homes generated interest from the time the listing posted. The property sold in 3 weeks, in part because Maribel advised us on the current market in Cuenca and helped us set a price that generated a good return on our investment. The buyer is very happy too and is set to benefit from the continued appreciation of this special riverfront penthouse." Lizz Drummond

Ken and I want to thank you for your time and effort in familiarizing us with the market here in Cuenca. We have enjoyed out 7 weeks in this beautiful city and look forward to returning next year. We value your thoughts and assistance in finding a rental. We return home with so many good memories to savor and share with our friends and relatives. Sincerely Jane and Ken Patterson

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
