Harriet Cochran Murray

Director

Born and raised in Louisiana, Harriet has a BA degree in Art Education and a minor in Business from LSU at Monroe, Louisiana.

She became a Texas real estate broker in 1975 and worked as the broker for a large developer for 10 years before forming her own company. She has had the opportunity to work in residential as well as commercial real estate in Texas, and served as a general partner in commercial office/show room development.

Harriet moved to Puerto Vallarta in 1996 and worked for a local real estate firm for a year and a half before opening her own office in 1997. Her brokerage in Mexico includes second home and resort listings and sales, property management and leasing, feasibility, investment analysis and implementation.

Harriet is an Associate member of AMPI (Association of Mexican Real Estate Professionals) in the Nayarit and Jalisco chapters.  She is also a Certified International Property Specialist, member of FIABCI international real estate consortium, and the National Association of Realtors.  

What she has learned living and working in Mexico, is that there are many similarities between Louisiana and Mexico, among which are the use of the Napoleonic Code for a legal system, and appreciation for the French and Spanish early settlement of her home state.  The early influence of Spanish and French culture, customs, music, art and food, have heightened her awareness and enjoyment of the rich culture and life she has found here.
