Madelyn S. Hernández Moore
Agent
Uniquely Bicultural
I am Puerto Vallarta Real Estate Agent Madelyn Hernandez Moore. I am originally from Guadalajara, daughter of Mexican father and American mother. I have been a resident of Puerto Vallarta since 1970 so I know it very well. From the first day I arrived here I was fascinated by this quaint small city (not so small now), by its beaches and its friendly people, reason why I decided to stay to live here where I got married, and my daughter and grandchildren were born.
Besides real estate my business experience is also in the travel industry (hotels, travel agencies, airlines). In addition, I have over 25 years in advertising in magazines sales.
I enjoy listening to music, watching movies, traveling and spending time with friends and with my grandkids.
Madelyn has also obtained her Official National Real Estate Certification with CONOCER (Mexico) National Counsel for Standards and Certification of Professional Skills.
