About Herman Borbolla
I came to real estate through a different door than most.
Five years in capital markets and structured finance. One company built, capitalised, and sold — during a pandemic. Nearly two decades connected to Puerto Vallarta. I work with buyers and sellers who built something, earned something, and now want a place that reflects who they are. That is not every client. It is the only client I take.
The background that changes what I notice.
Most agents in this market came up through sales. I came up through finance — structuring deals, reading risk, and learning to ask the question behind the question. When I walk a property now, I am running a different analysis than the person showing it to me. That gap is where my clients make or save real money.
I am bilingual — and in this market that goes beyond paperwork. It means that when I talk to a notario, walk a neighbourhood, or ask questions in a room, I hear everything. Not just what is being translated.
Dual licensed. Well versed in Mexican real estate law. I have represented developments on both sides of the table — which means I understand exactly how a developer thinks when they are sitting across from you.

The right city doesn’t just look beautiful. It feels like somewhere you actually belong.
Who I work with
This is not the right fit for everyone. It might be exactly right for you.
I work with a specific kind of person. Not defined by budget or nationality — defined by how they think and what they are actually looking for.
The Investor
You have built something. Now you want your capital working somewhere it reflects that.
You are not looking for every property on the market. You want the right ones, with the analysis behind each one — appreciation trajectory, rental yield, risk included. You have worked with enough amateurs to know immediately when you are not talking to one. You read the market before you read the listing. So do I.
The Life Move
You have earned the right to live somewhere that feels like it was built for people like you.
Puerto Vallarta is one of the most genuinely welcoming cities in Latin America. Not performatively — structurally. The culture here, the community, the way this city has developed over decades — it holds space for people who want to live openly and fully. I know which parts of it will feel like home and which parts will not. That conversation happens before we look at a single property.
The next step
If this sounds like the advisory relationship you have been looking for.
One conversation. No pitch. No pressure. Just a direct exchange about what you are evaluating and whether I am the right person to help you think it through.
You know where to find me.
