The Basics

For anyone considering Ecuador, there is a lot of information gathering to be done. We know, we went through it also. All the research, the conflicting reports and the process of sorting out good sources of information from bad. Our experiences researching Ecuador, relocating here, learning the language, investing and starting a business gave us the impetus to start this company to help others. The idea was to help buyers and sellers find each other, streamline the real estate process, remove the pitfalls and perhaps most importantly provide sound, up-to-date and accurate information on Ecuador. As people discover our company and what we are doing, we get a lot of questions. And like we did, many are starting at the basic information gathering level. This is great! And we want to help. So this is a resource tool we want to provide you to help get answers. Start with our podcast! Especially the first few episodes. In these we cover many of the basics like climate, cost of living, Visas and much more. And here are some links to get you started on your research.
