Reduced Prices. The Design Center. Happy Birthday Antigua!!












Guess What?   Antigua is a-buzzzzzz… it is their 488 Birthday and we wish them a HAPPY BIRTHDAY from all of us here at Bamboo Group. 

Speaking of birthdays -- price reductions are happening and we have some listed in this email.  Home Security is a constant thought for homeowners:  Ask us what we can do for your home (not only from intruders but the installation of safes and cameras to keep an eye on the help you keep.)  As well, we will include properties we are seeking so our audience can interact with us to let us know of some deals we don’t have on our pages as of yet.

For our Guatemala City section… our blog talks about The Design Center in Zona Viva (10) and some of the stores and vibes you can experience while you shop.  If you are from Antigua and have a hard time getting to the city, Green Craft Properties has a solution for you. 

What is a Town Scribe?  Look below to follow some great updates from a less than controversial type… our very own Michael Sherer. 

ANTIGUA UPDATES -=- Pic of the Week!
Thanks to John Bell for taking this great spirited photograph with stellar background ruins-effect
at the steps of the mountain in Antigua at the courts!  Swish-Shot John!

NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL
Design Center.  There is a load to talk about but lets just say one of Guatemala’s most inspirational Interior Designers/ Architects/ Constructions Builders is located there.  In Situ is where it’s at, at the place to be that… you dig that?  Plus you have the ever gorgeous, warm, and tropical feel at Asian Tropics!  Visit these two sites and melt in a sense of uniqueness and the very poshness of the Design Center.  It is an easy place to shop for 3-4 hours and lunch as well.  Take the girls with you … why not?

For those of you in Antigua; Green Craft Properties can shuttle up to 3 people comfortably in one of our vehicles or your own. We are familiar with many shopping destinations in the city and can tailor your trip to your exact requirements in getting around in Guatemala City for a greater shopping experience or Stamp for your passport.  If you are interested click here for rates.

PRICE REDUCTIONS
We have a drop in the asking price of a house with 3 lots in Milpas Altas… The original asking price of MA001 was $135,000 usd.  They dropped it to $128,500 and now it is open to consideration.  Place a bid and perhaps we can work out a deal.   The house and property is very HUGE for those who want to live between the city and Antigua and is peaceful and a secure little community.    In the city we have another property with a price reduction as well.  If you like to play Golf and be near a Golf Course, this beauty of a home KM18001 has been reduced to 115,000 usd!!!  Consider yourself minutes from T-Off!

Just outside of Antigua we have 23,000 varas for sale and the owner wants to let it go even cheaper now… the starting price was $80,0000 usd and now is $55,000 … make an offer on ART002 the owner wont refuse!  Great for a development project or just to hold onto while Antigua keeps expanding.

GREEN CRAFT PROPERTIES -=- HOME SECURITY AND SAFE PLACES
Our partner group Green Craft Properties is offering the following services to compliment their Real Estate offerings.  Home Security (Locks/ Video Surveillance), Herbal Gardening, Painting, Home Repairs – that sorta stuff.  Now that the rains are here you may notice some issues with your roof.  Contact us to investigate and to implement a short-term solution (quick fix) and prepare for dry season long-term repairs.  Need to construct some shelving units for your office?  Paint a room?  Give ol Hector a call and he will be there in a jiffy to tend to your home fixin needs!  502-5553-1780 or click here to send him an email

WE HAVE NEEDS TOO!
We are seeking the following types of properties for our clients.  If you have or know somebody who does please share this with them and your friends.

GARDENING - ANTIGUA - INVESTMENTS - REDUCED PRICED PROPERTIES



BLOG ANTIGUA, we got a whole bunch of things we are covering today. To begin with, we will be looking at a few investments, a Gardening Blog, reduced priced listings, and who can live without Antigua Chisme. Need to create a video-commercial for your small business on Facebook? We have a link to show you what can be done and who to get in touch with to make it happen. Wish to list your land or house for sale or rent? Check out our terms and conditions to know more about us. How is the economy in the North and how is Guatemala doing? We have some links that will surprise you. All of this and a complete range of our inventory along with reduced priced properties and our 10 most economical investments we have in Guatemala.
To begin with, check out a blog on Gardening that focuses on natural based pesticides (i.e. Used Coffee Grinds), Caboa Farms near Antigua that offers a nursery and produce for businesses and individuals in the region. What's more? We discuss options for you to consider planting in your own backyard to make your home garden a better and healthier alternative to just shrubs and flowers. Plant, grow, taste and adore the aroma your garden produces naturally -- daily. Click here to view the blog

Antigua-Chisme is a 'lite' look at what is happening in the region of Antigua. There is a simple mention of Shops and who is doing what. There is even a mention of Our Man in Antigua. Click here to view the Antigua-Chisme blog

Last week our fellow group minx-vision created their very own social network commercial aimed at Facebook and Google Plus users. The video was produced for GO DEEP, a sensational nightclub in Zona Viva with an incredible stage and band that performs on Ladies Night Thursdays. To view the Commercial click here. If you would like to inquire about a video commercial for your small business click here.

View our Terms and Conditions for Bamboo Group. If you are interested in listing your property with us or investing in Guatemala and would like to know to know what our policies are, click here for more information.

Markets are improving; this is the general consensus. The US interest rates have fallen to record lows in the past week according to CNN MONEY. This offers savings to investors of $100 per month for a $200,000 usd home compared to last year. Rates are not that low in Guatemala but for those who have dollars to invest, we are still in a prime season of the recession to invest for future returns. However, the economy in Guatemala is growing despite the global situation; and more can be viewed here. Dunkin Donuts now in Guatemala!

Share our email with your investment seeking friends. Contact Hector Zelada at 502-5553-1780 to set up a viewing this weekend in Antigua while he still has available time slots. Antigua is a safehaven for an investor, the most beautiful and securest place to live in Guatemala, and a glorious experience for dining and friends. Stick with us, we will be bringing you even further investment options in the future. Thanks for being apart of our business experience.

Our most recent and attractive investments in the Antigua region are the following listings.

We pay 10% of our commission for a sales referral.

Well, that sums up this bi-monthly newsletter. We hope you find this of interest, you consider contacting us now or in the future, and you can assist us with contributions to our message to our customers. Guatemala has a whole bunch of great things to offer: Arts, Biospheres, tourist attractions, culinary delights, and people. We hope to showcase many of these great attractions for Nacionales and Foreigners alike and if anybody is interested in working with us or advertising through us to promote your great attraction we would be happy to talk to you about it.

Have a wonderful day and week and speaks to you soon!
