Dean on YouTube!

My good friend and business associate Stephen Munson interviews me (Dean McConkey) and we tackle the issue of the 3.5% Down FHA Loan, the pre-qualification process, and how it affects your credit score.

A note from Dean McConkey



I’ve lived long enough and experienced enough to appreciate the reality of time. We make decisions every moment how we’re going to spend that time. Life is so busy between family, relationships, work, cell phones, etc. that time is limited to truly get together with friends and connect. The special time when conversation at dinner carries over into the morning’s breakfast by the pool can be a creator of some of life’s best memories. One of the places over fifteen years that I’ve spent with friends reconnecting has been in Puerto Vallarta. From the friendly people, to the sound of the ocean, to the sounds of the city this El Centro Romantico is the center of it all and the center of romance. The good times spent with those people you truly love and want to be apart of their life and for them to be apart of yours is spent in this wondrous village by the sea. Take a swim in the ocean in the morning or a late afternoon stroll to the beach for the incredible sunsets. After looking at real estate in PV, I realized that I can fuse what I love to do and what I’m good at doing. It’s bringing together interesting, involved, intelligent groups of people for thoroughly enjoyable times.

Introducing My Casa Alegre!

Casa Alegre is in downtown Puerto Vallarta. It sits just six blocks from the beach and features a private compound, beautiful suites, large swimming pool and open spaces for relaxing.

I want this to be a calm, aesthetically pleasing santuario, place of refuge. It can be a refuge in many different ways. I can see guests and friends staying and rarely leaving the property. Refuge to them, is a place to remove themselves from the outside world and spend time with people they love. For some laying by the pool, reading, having a massage, yoga, napping, cocktail(s) etc. Some days started with coffee, then ice tea and finally margaritas and before you knew it was time for dinner and you hadn’t left the house. And for others that want to enjoy the beach, the fine dining, shopping, and the nightlife have a refuge throughout the day. And for others somewhere in between is an incredibly memorable day.

I look forward to seeing you in PV!
