Jim Mann

I moved to Merida several years ago from Richmond, Virginia and opened Los Arcos Bed and Breakfast. In the states, I bought and sold dozens of old colonial homes and did complete restoration work on them prior to resale. I attended John Tyler College and completed all the classes needed to sit for the real estate licensing board. I AM THE PRESIDENT AND OWNER OF MAYAN LIVING REAL ESTATE COMPANY. I enjoy working with people and helping them find the home of their dreams. I have always been able to see the possibilities in each special house, no matter what condition they are in. I have always loved the beach and find the Costa Maya area one of the most exciting areas left to explore. With one of the largest numbers of listings in the area, I know I can help you find the right place that will meet your special needs. Real estate is more than just a job to me. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people, see this magnificent country and in the end, make new friends along the way. Opening Mayan Living Real Estate gave me the opportunity to help people find their new home or beach property and to help them see their dreams come true here in sunny Mexico. We are proud to be listed with International Living. www.mexicoinsider.com.

David Reed

Prior to moving to Merida several years ago, I lived and worked in Richmond, Virginia. While at the Virginia Commonwealth University, I studied architecture, interior design, commercial art and advertising. All though I worked for Dominion Resources as a purchasing agent for 22 years, my real passion was renovating and restoring classic older houses in the Richmond area and surrounding counties. I completed all the necessary real estate courses at John Tyler College which enabled me to not only buy but sell dozens of houses I restored. I find myself very fortunate to be living and working in such a magnificent city like Merida. A city of warm, passionate and honest people…a city with incredible architecture….a city that is ready to explode with art and culture. I am on the board of directors for the Merida English Library, run a Bed & Breakfast and also sell real estate. I have always been a people person and enjoy helping people find the possibilities in some of Merida’s beautiful homes. Many do not start out beautiful but all end up that way. Let me find just the right home for you.

Doug Willey

I am Doug Willey and I was born and raised in Delaware.. There I worked as a union millwright/welder and also owned an antique store. My wife and I moved to Mexico in 2003 where I worked in sales at one of the larger resorts in Playa Del Carmen. We also have spent a year on the island of San Pedro in Belize. I love working with people and helping them find their dream life. We bought our beach house from Mayan Living in 2003 as a retirement home. The quaint little village of Chelem is quite a unique place to live. My wife and I are very pleased to be able to help other people find their own piece of paradise. Going the extra mile to help find that unique home is a part of who I am and has also contributed to my success. Please contact me for your dream home or property. In evenings, I have a U.S. phone number: 302 200 0257.

Belina Anchondo

As a San Diego native with a background in computers, paralegal, translations, real estate and food plus dual citizenship makes for a well rounded individual, don't you think? Whatever your needs are you can be sure that I will be able to understand where you're coming from and insure you find the perfect property! Also, having lived in many areas of Mexico, and in various countries, have given me a good perspective as far as new residents go, plus living in the Santiago area for the past three years gives me a good "feel" of the Yucatan Peninsula. I am very excited to be on “Mayan Living” team and looking forward to a busy and productive time here.
