Thomas Hellyer is considered to be a bi-cultural expert with a strong analytical aptitude combined with a calm, forthright, and honest demeanor. His command of the Spanish language and the intricacies of Mexican real estate make him an ideal person to guide you through the process of making your dreams of living and /or investing in Mexico a exciting reality. Thomas is originally from Lake Chelan, a beautiful resort town Washington State. He received a BA in Business Administration from the University of Washington Tacoma with a concentration in International Business. He first came to Mexico in the early 1990s to study Spanish in Guadalajara and totally immersed himself in the customs and slowly but slowly became fluent in Mexican Spanish and met his future wife, Iliana. Prior to working in real estate, Thomas began a career at a boutique investment firm in Tacoma, Washington. He oversaw and managed stock and mutual fund portfolios, real estate investments and a portfolio of investments in early stage startup companies. He later obtained his real estate license. He and Iliana always knew that one day they would return to Mexico and they now reside in Ajijic. Besides his real estate business, he enjoys playing with his two children, traveling, imbibing Mexican cuisine and spirits, hosting friends and family, and especially the delight that in Mexico, every day is a day of warmth, learning, and exploration.
