Ecuador has grown to be one of the most attractive places to live part or full time. The real estate market has continued to rise throughout the global economic downturn. However, like anywhere to get the best results you have to know what you are doing. This is why you want to know about Club Ecuador!
The key to getting ahead in Ecuador is knowing it. I mean… really knowing it all. The wonderful news about Ecuador is its biodiversity…however that can be a two edged sword because there is so much BIODIVERSITY that it is necessary to experience the uniqueness in order to choose where you would be happiest.
To make sure… you can know Ecuador… correctly…. so you have an honest guide without hidden agendas… here is an introduction to Club Ecuador.
At Ecuador Living we have always encouraged readers to visit first…. see as much as you can… rent second…. to be sure and so you have time to find bargains… then third, get an independent attorney before you buy.
To make it as easy, safe, fun, efficient and inexpensive as possible, 15 years ago we started conducting Ecuador seminars and created several types of Ecuador tours…. real estate tours, shamanic tours and Ecuador export tours.
Over the years these tours expanded. In fact we had so many Ecuador tours that we could offer “Ecuador Multi Tour Adventures” which helped delegates see many places and feel many aspects of Ecuador at a sensible price.
Over this time we have brought more than 5,000 people to Ecuador. No one has such experience with these type of tours. In fact all the competing similar tours I know are created by or conducted by people who first attended our tours.
The Ecuador tours we initiated just keep getting better. In a moment I’ll share all the new benefits of the 2011 Ecuador tours. Plus the new ”Life in the Cloud Forest” tours below.
What Merri and I have lacked is the on the spot research and the constant updating of the situations…then last year, Jean Marie Butterlin moved to Ecuador and took up the reins. We can easily and truthfully state that he has created in Ecuador an entire team of experts…and now he introduces Club Ecuador and his 2011 Schedule. We are proud to present Team Ecuador, Club Ecuador, Jean Marie who has all the following offerings. His actions with the Team Ecuador have brought a new level of information and scheduling to help any of you to easily experience the uniqueness of Ecuador.
2011 is for the first time ever you can join Club Ecuador… and gain the biggest savings of all.
“Ecuador Multi Tour Adventures” help you learn how to run your own export business, gain Ecuador’s health benefits, own Ecuador real estate and live in Ecuador. Plus the multi tour packs help you save hundreds… even thousands of dollars by providing multiple Ecuador tours in one month.
Now with Club Ecuador you can save even more throughout the rest of 2010 and all of 2011.
See the remaining 2010 and 2011 Ecuador tour schedule below that Team Ecuador offers.
Normal course and tour fees are $499 or $749 for a couple.
Here are the multiple tour savings.
Two Pack… 2 seminar courses & tours $998 Couple $1,349 Save $149 on couple
Three Pack… 3 seminar courses & tours $1399 Couple $1,899 Save $98 single or $348 on a couple or more
Four Pack… 4 seminar courses & tours $1,699 Couple $2,299 Save $98 single or $697 on a couple or more
Five Pack… 5 seminar courses & tours $1,999 Couple $2,699 Save $496 single or $1,046 on a couple or more
Six Pack… 6 seminars courses & tours $2,199 Couple $3,099 Save $795 single or $1,395 on a couple or more
Club Ecuador now provides the biggest savings of all! You (and your guest) can attend as many of the Ecuador tours as you desire for just $100 dollars more.
Imagine this… you could attend over 50 Ecuador tours in 2010 and 2011, if you wished, for just $100 extra.
Not $100 PER extra tour either. $100 for all additional tours beyond a six pack.
You pay only $3,199 to attend as many tours as you like. A guest can accompany you whenever you attend a tour.
All Ecuador tours are conducted by its creator, Jean Marie Butterlin of Morya Ecuador Discovery Tours and Bonnie Keough who are working very hard scouting, finding, searching, unfolding these exciting places.
My wife Merri and I have been publishing information about global investing as we have lived, traveled, invested, worked and purchased real estate around the world. This will be for 43 years in May 2011.
We have invested globally in real estate ourselves since the 1960s and have helped delegates find absolute bargains on real estate tours as we have spotted distorted markets in numerous places and conducted real estate tours over the decades in Switzerland, London, Isle of Man and the Dominican Republic.
15 years ago we settled on Ecuador as one of our homes in the never ending sun and started conducting real estate tours since. Delegates have purchased millions of dollars of property with our guidance.
In this time we have run an active Ecuador business and have personally purchased a 962 acre hacienda, condos and houses in the Andes, a hotel (which we still own and operate) and condos and apartments on the beach..so we know what it takes to find…buy and take care of Ecuador real estate.
Jean Marie Butterlin from Paris has lived and worked extensively all over the world (now living in Ecuador) and Bonnie Keough has been working extensively in Ecuador for over 4 years.
Jean Marie has created Club Ecuador and we are proud to offer his extensive tours which are carefully researched and professionally put together so that you can explore the possibilities of life in Ecuador.
Please note, Jean Marie is not a real estate broker or seller. The tour’s loyalty is to the delegates not sellers of property or export goods.
The tours provide information and contacts to help delegates learn about Ecuador real estate and shamans and exports. His tour company nor any employees of the company sell real estate or products. The staff are forbidden from taking commissions from real estate sellers. They are looking after you…not the seller.
Whenever possible the tours put you directly in touch with sellers… thus avoiding brokerage fees. Often sellers will give discounts to buyers on the tours. These discounts can save you thousands of dollars.
These tours are the most efficient and cost effective way to gain an overall view of Ecuador’s real estate market.
You gain discounts on the hotels. You save enormously on transportation. You do not miss unknown properties and avoid the traditional Ecuador problem of sellers not showing up on time or not at all.
Your hotel and transportation savings are usually more than the tour fee.
Plus you gain safety. The tour guides know the country and specifically know the places and can introduce you to independent attorneys and help you avoid sellers who have developed a reputation for marking up or worse.
From a real estate buyer in Ecuador. I remember you saying a decade ago to start there. I have seen the price on land here jump directly on the beach now $300 to $500 a square meter and off the beach $80 to $100 square meter and the lots are not big an average lot is 250 square meters. I bought several lots in this area for less than half of the asking price today. I remember seeing a article about that you wrote a decade ago that you were able to buy lots here for a couple to a few thousand. You also used Naples, Florida as an example this I why I bought here. YOU WERE RIGHT! It all started the night I came back from my first trip when I came across your website. If it was not for the knowledge that you share and international living none of this would have gone as smooth as it has. So Thank You Gary!
Attend multi real estate and export tours plus shamanic minga tours.
Comments from a real estate tour delegate: A special thank you for the real estate tours that you provide. John and I did a lot of research and chose Ecuador as our first choice. Our visit in June exceeded our expectations of the info that we had gathered about the country. Ecuador also meets our top seven priorities: Cost of living, Climate, Cost of real estate, Heath care, Access to high speed internet, Accessibilty to the States and over all safety. Our dream has always been to live on the beach and moving to Ecuador will make that dream come true. Again, a big thank you for helping us make that dream come true.
