Gretchen Ellinger purchased property in Cholla Bay 13 years ago, and moved permanently to her dream home 4 years later.
Over 7 years' experience in real estate in Puerto Peñasco, with strong emphasis on Cholla Bay properties, has earned Gretchen the respect of the real estate community, where her expertise in foreign ownership of Mexican properties, and her commitment to ethical business practices are well-known. Her numerous clients have come to depend on her for experienced counsel and exemplary customer service. An active member of AMPI, the Mexican Professional Real Estate Association, Gretchen served as the Puerto Penasco chapter's first treasurer. She is a member of the National Association of Realtors, served on the board of directors of the Cholla Bay Homeowner Association, was an award-winning realtor with Coldwell Banker and Century 21.
