Need a vehicle?

I would like to introduce you to Walter who has helped many of our clients, including myself, buy good quality used vehicles and repair services!  As a foreigner who has felt ripped off by auto mechanics especially because I’m a female, I finally felt like I received quality repairs at a reasonable price!  AND THE BEST PART IS NO LANGUAGE BARRIER – Walter speaks excellent English!  He patiently explained to me what was wrong and gave me options on replacement parts.  The best way to reach him is via WhatsApp +505-8811-3186 or his Facebook page.

Sending money to Nicaragua

Testimonial for sending money:

Natalie : hi … so you know for other Canadian clients of yours… Worldremit was simple to sign up. But for $1,000 or more, you have to give lots of financial information (for money laundering regulations) stuff like copy of passport etc.  But less than $1,000 nothing is needed – it is like a debit only from the Canadian acct to a Nica account at Bancentro from what I can see… For Canadians the only two banks right now to use are RBC or TD … works for me as I have an account at TD… you put in like $995  Cdn and it says you will be debited like $998.75 and gives you a decent rate in USD that will be transferred… wow… very simple and if it works as you say with no cost at the Bancentro end a game changer for stupid bank wires which cost so much money from sending end and also at the Nica bank side also….Best regards : 10 year Canadian Home Owner

And at Banpro you can deposit a check from a foreign bank into a savings account and the fee is 2.5% of the value of the check.  If you write a check for $1,000 the fee is $25 and it normally takes 25 days to clear the bank.

La Santa Maria

La Santa Maria now has a rent to own, or try before you buy program! With a $7,500 fully refundable deposit  and monthly payments as low as $995 plus utilities you can enjoy the convenience of being only 4 blocks to the beach, no power or water outages, fully equipped gym, infinity edge pool, club house, children’s play area, covered parking, and 24 hour security.   The rental program has a minimum 6 months to maximum 36 months to pay it off, if you like it!  Receive 10-20% off the total purchase price if you pay it off within 6-12 months.  Ask me for me details!
