Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network

By: Hank Van Joslin of Van Joslin Real Estate

The last nine months have been a nightmare for the more affluent families in Mexico as they are experiencing armed robberies and kidnappings. Most recently a kidnapping ended in the murder of a child, even after the ransom was paid. This is almost unimaginable for most of us.

Families are now migrating here to this safe haven, The Woodlands. Many of these families are looking to rent while they get to know the area and are able to move their businesses and assets. This has created an unprecedented demand for Luxury leases – furnished and unfurnished 6,000 – 12,,000 + sq. ft homes in The Woodlands .

Van Joslin Real Estate has increased it’s luxury lease home listings since late 2008 in order accommodate these clients. Interestingly enough, this has been a welcome option for some luxury sellers who just are not ready to sell at today’s prices. Helping our neighbors south of the border has never been more rewarding.
