More from House Hunters International

Below are some comments and photos from Ross Talner



from the recent House Hunters International episode shot in Popoyo.

We spent 4 incredible days with the film crew on 2 separate trips to Nicaragua to film the show. One day was spent filming at each Rancho Santana (http://www.ranchosantana.com), Hacienda Iguana (http://www.haciendaiguana.com) and two days at Popoyo at the office (http://www.c21popoyo.com), El Toro (http://www.torosurfnicaragua.com) as well as one of the homes.









We ate huge shrimp (4 count, see pic) at a the Century 21 office in Popoyo cooked by Doña Delma who was the personal chef for Somoza for 11 years in the US. Diego, from El Toro and I got fun waves together at the beach break several times with no crowds and always offshore winds. We had cocktails at Rancho Santana right on the break next to their pool as we watched the beautiful sunset over the ocean. We had a great time showing the film crew around and the life we live in Popoyo. We ate, laughed a lot and did many retakes together.

The film crew finally went with Gaspar,



our star Nicaraguan agent to Granada (the oldest colonial city in the Americas) and spent a day relaxing after the shoot. We had a great time and I hope you enjoy the show.

We hope to see you in Nicaragua soon. We are keeping extremely busy as the we have found that the world economy is inversely related to Nicaragua RE. This is due to the reasonable prices and a down market means many people have cash that they want to invest in a reasonable place!!!

House Hunters International, Popoyo, Nicaragua

The house hunter crew was back in Nicaragua on August 25th, Gaspar our listing manager picked them up at the airport and drive them the Hilton Hotel. The next day in the morning the whole crew got ready to head down south to Popoyo.



We arrived safely in Rancho Santana were we spent the whole week. On the 27th Ross Talner,



our Popoyo office General Manager and main participant on the Show arrived for the interview, then we all headed out of Rancho Santana to a client’s business, a small hotel named Toro.



Diego and Paloma always smiley received us, perfect timing for their interview and to film the singing part of the show where they signed the contract to close the deal. On the 28th we left Rancho Santana and headed to the purchase house, everything went smoothly, no black out, everyone was on time, we shot the house with Diego and Paloma living in the house,



and then we shot Diego and Ross surfing at Guasacate beach.



Around 6 pm we all celebrated the wrap with a cold beer; the same night all the crew had a great dinner with lobster and Margaritas.



August 29th the river was high and we were a bit worried to get back on time for their flights. Everything went perfectly as we arrived on time to the airport. The last word from them was that they had an incredible experience in Nicaragua, especially in Popoyo. We also had an unforgettable experience and are looking forward to seeing the House Hunters crew again.

Saludos,
