WHAT MAKES THIS AREA SO SPECIAL.
Our region is legally classified as ‘Mega Diverse’ and this is due to the fact that we live in a convergence of marine and mountain ecosystems. All of this beauty happens to exist on the same line of latitude as Hawaii. The combination of these overlapping habitats with a consistent tropical climate results in a rich, endemic diversity that relies on us now to protect it.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Randy is the best in Bahia de Banderas, he’s very nice, insightful and helpful. I’ve referred lots of people to Protierra Partners and I definitely do recommend their services!

Genevieve

We can't overstate how happy we are with Protierra Partners. Randy and Arturo helped us purchase our new Sayulita home. Protierra's team of legal and professional experts helped make our dream a reality without a hitch!

Chris

Amazing from beginning to end. I couldn’t have had a better experience. And my agent Rafael Sprowls was extraordinary. Not only an efficient representative for both me and my property, but also one of the most pleasant people I’ve ever met. Would recommend Protierra (and have) to anyone that might need help in the greater San Pancho area, including Sayulita, Lo de Marco and beyond.

Alan

I had an outstanding experience with Protierra Partners from start to finish. Randy and Arturo’s team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to every detail of the process.

They took the time to understand the property and business we wanted to sell, and analyzed it deeply until they found the perfect buyer.

All our needs and questions were answered, walked-thru with clarity and patience, and guided us each step with confidence and transparency, a process, which is specially complicated in Mexican Coastal areas.

What truly sets them apart is their commitment and care—they went above and beyond to make what can be a stressful experience feel smooth and well supported. Communication was excellent, timelines were respected, and we always felt that our best interests were the priority.

They are also very knowledgeable regarding to Sayulita’s and Nayarit local market, Mexican Coastal laws and other local ways, something that is very helpful and unique to them.

I would highly recommend Protierra to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a property. They are trustworthy, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for such a great experience!

Maria. B

Love this small but professional company (who are actually expanding now). I met Arturo, the partner the day after I arrived in Sayulita and he was nothing but helpful on several levels and we weren't even clients at this time.

We bought our first house with his help but more importantly, the buyers realtor and lawyer were not available to the buyer as they should have been and Arturo stepped in to help them out and give them a sense of ease and peace with the transaction.

Arturo, Randy and Brenda are very professional and helpful with everything. They have now become friends too. Arturo puts himself out to help everyone whether they are a client yet or not and is a font of information on several levels which is very important especially if you are a newbie here.

Ariel

I can’t say enough about the positive experience we had with Rafael and the Protierra team. They were always available for questions, patiently guiding us through the unfamiliar-to-us process of buying a house in Mexico. They were very, very thorough, facilitating an easy purchase.

We would use them again in a heartbeat, and have recommended them to friends who are considering purchasing in our area.

Kathy

The team at Protierra Partners were very helpful, professional, and knowledgeable during the sale of my international property. Thanks to the team my property sold quickly and successfully. Thanks Protierra Partners!

Kimberly

My wife and I recently purchased a home in the community of Punta de Mita. Our realtor was Kiki Cheung. We live in the United States so we relied on Kiki throughout the entire process. We have only positive things to say about Kiki, her work ethic, honesty, responsiveness, communication, and local knowledge. Kiki guided us through the process from our first viewing of the property through making our offer, obtaining inspections, and the closing. Kiki is responsive and knowledgeable. She promptly answered our many questions and relieved our concerns. After closing, Kiki spent the day with us. She drove us to stores so we could buy things we needed to move into our new home. We only closed a few months ago and Kiki continues to provide invaluable help and support. She has coordinated transferring our utilities and even paid our utility bills for us before the accounts were transferred to our name. We are happy to have the chance to recommend Kiki and we do so without any reservations. And she is a really sincere and nice person

Brian

 

We have worked with Randy and Arturo at ProTierra Real Estate for several years and continue to value the relationship deeply. In a region where it can be genuinely difficult to find real estate professionals who are both competent and principled, ProTierra stands out.

They bring a rare combination of local knowledge, strong networks, and thoughtful guidance, while consistently demonstrating integrity and care for both their clients and the land itself. Their approach does not feel driven purely by profit, but rather by a commitment to responsible development, ethical decision-making, and preserving the unique character and natural beauty of Sayulita and the surrounding areas.

What we appreciate most is the ongoing attention they provide long after transactions are complete, paired with a respectful, grounded way of working that builds trust over time. For anyone seeking well-connected, honest allies in the Sayulita real estate landscape—especially those who value environmental and community consciousness—we would confidently recommend ProTierra Real Estate.

 

John. H

Bought our 🏠 through Protierra. Both Arturo, and Randy totally professional. We had already knew them, and after looking at a few other homes, they said this one would be perfect for us. They were correct. And now they are our best friends. And they helped us with paperwork, and legal stuff, as required.
We were so fortunate to have met them, befriended them, and secured a lovely casa thru them. They are the best.
