“We worked with Nick early this year and are now really enjoying the outcome of buying our home! Nick has just been so great to work with. He represented the seller but he went out of his way to do anything he could for us and provided us with great information so all our interactions with Nick were and remain very positive! Nick is very professional yet very warm and friendly and has such a keen knowledge of the Samara/Carrillo area that each appointment is a true pleasure. You can't go wrong working with Nick!”

We bought a home in Samara with the help of Nick Ruhlow at Coldwell. Nick knows the market but most importantly he knows what a foreigner is expecting or not expecting and his experience allows him to bridge the unknowns that we had moving there. We lived full time for 4 years and then moved on, again Nick and Liz Wegman together got the property sold to some great buyers. Also I highly recommend Landco legal team to manage the legal work. I had some experience with other attorney's and Landco would be considered highly professional in any country.
