2011 people! and they still suck! Modification? they screw you for $$$$, raise your payment, so no help there! They just sit and wait, because they know that by raising your payment they have another property to take away and sell off. Blood sucking Vamps! I heard they screw over their own employees! Bunch of Thieves!!

We just closed on a condo and we’re very excited. Unfortunately, we live in NY so we’ll have to do a lot of the logistics remotely, i.e electricity, water, etc. We spent the weekend in San Juan and looked at furniture in the West Elm store – they will deliver to Rincon. We bought our mattresses locally (La Nacionalon 115) and they seem reliable; i’ll let you know when they deliver but whenever possible, we want to patronize local businesses. As far as banks, we used the local Westernbank and they were very efficient and accomodating – it was strange to bank with real people – They answered the phone every time we called and whatever we asked for was ready by the end of the day.
Love this blog and all the helpful comments – Summer and Stefan, good luck and thanks for getting this started.

His full name is Domingo Acevedo and he used to be right in Rincon town. We used him 3 or 4 years ago so I can’t imagine that he left town…
Furniture…San Juan is the best bet, but Rooms to Go is the next best thing…depending of your style.

I would also like the number to that real estate attorney. We’re buying a condo in Aguadilla (by crash boat).

Also, I’ve been looking on-line for furniture stores in Puerto Rico. I found rooms to go and they look like they have some nice pieces. Any other recommendations? Thanks!

We used Domingo, he was very good, spoke English, I don’t know if he is still there, but his office is right in town. A very well known person. can’t think of his last name…must ask my husband.

@Shelly: My only experience is with Banco Popular but I have heart GREAT things about the “Co-Op” and it looks like Western Banks rates are pretty good. I would hit up the Co-Op first. They are kind of like a credit union.

We will be in Rincon in a couple of weeks to look at property. Does anyone have a bank that they recommend using for a mortgage? Thanks
