Giovanni has maintained a presence at Villa La Estancia for as long as I’ve owned a unit there (bought in 2016, and also have served on the HOA Finance Committee since 2018).
In fact, while General Managers at VLE have come and gone, Giovanni has remained a steady presence. He and others started rental businesses (partnering with owners) just a few years after the internet came into its own.
Something that sets Giovanni apart from others is that he, himself, is a VLE owner and, in addition, he is active on the sales side. In essence, mining rental guests who might also be qualified buyers.
That is a value-add above and beyond facilitating a nightly rental, and the primary reason why I evolved to rent exclusively through him, with no offense intended toward anyone else who may offer similar rental services.
I really grew to know Giovanni well in late 2016. In 2018, after 12 years of ownership, my life circumstances changed such that I wanted to broaden my travel destinations and not feel bound to our beloved Cabo San Lucas.
Giovanni understood and began the process of vetting qualified buyers which eventually led to our contracting to sell to our friends, The Tillman’s.
It is worth noting that this sale occurred on the heels of a debacle related to a previous owner and their legal issues with the IRS. These owners held several Villa La Estancia properties and many owners expected depressed market values
for years to come, following the forced sale/liquidation of these assets. At the same time, we had two potential transactions come and go, with the typical accompanying frustrations, disappointment, wasted time and even some harsh words!
Things happen for a reason, though, and seem to have worked out for the best!
In truth, without Giovanni’s persistence and intuitive understanding of the right next steps, many transactions at VLE wouldn’t have happened, including my own.
Our relationship has grown from acquaintances to very close, personal friends (such that I’m not exactly objective). With that said, I only do business with people who get things done, as it is a standard that my clients also expect of me.
If your goal is to complete the transaction - then Giovanni is the one to choose. He is your only logical choice!
