meet the team

Go from dreaming to actually living out your dream– we’ll be here to guide you, step by step.

Run Away Realty is a boutique real estate agency in the best little beach town in Mexico - Puerto Morelos! 

We see you Google searching, researching on YouTube, asking around, and trying to figure out the answer to your nagging question—Can I legally buy property in Mexico? And if so, HOW? Where do I even begin?

We get it! We’ve done it. We’ve helped over a hundred others do it, in fact. And now we’re sharing all of our knowledge and experience with you so your dream can become a dream come true, without any of the chaos or confusion. 

As a small team, we’re close-knit, always up for a good time, and never mess around when it comes to taking care of your business. Because buying a property in a foreign country is a big deal - it’s the kind of thing you want to have professional assistance with to ensure it’s done right (and to your advantage). 

Beyond just the legal, financial, and industry-specific aspects of your purchase, our job is so much more than just selling you a home. We’re helping you join a community and start a new way of life.

Here you get to experience something different than America (or Canada, the UK…wherever your home country may be) - and isn’t that the whole point?

It’s about rolling with the tides & timelines, the unique ways of life, the initial language barriers—it’s all part of the adventure you’re about to embark on. The adventure of a lifetime, at that! 

So tell us your dream and we can help you with the “how” — preferably sitting somewhere with a view, sipping cocktails.

Meet Kim

Hi there!  The whole story about how I ended up in Puerto Morelos is best told over a few margaritas, but I'll hit the highlights here! I'm a recovering attorney from Colorado, who fell madly in love with Puerto Morelos in 2000, had a premature attempt to move here in 2001, but finally made it here full-time in 2012 and I've never looked back!  My life is full with the business, and my two rescue dogs Coco and Toni, and my son Austin, who finally saw the light and has joined us here in Puerto Morelos.  And here in our little agency! To say my heart is full is an understatement!  Puerto Morelos is home in a way that no other place has ever been for me.  I love her soul, I love the more sane pace of life and the quality of life that I've found here.

Meet Gabriel

Hola! I'm originally from Mexico City, but I came to Cancun on vacation thirty plus years ago, fell in love with beach life, and never looked back.  My background is in business administration with KPMG and JW Marriott, but along the way I fell in love with the restaurant business and spent years managing high end restaurants throughout the Riviera Maya.  I still love the restaurant business, but building Run Away Realty with Kim, and working with the most amazing clients to introduce them to our culture has been incredibly rewarding.  Getting to live and work in Puerto Morelos  is like a dream come true.

Meet Daniela

Hola! I'm Dani, a Mexico City native who has called Puerto Morelos home for the last ten years.
When I arrived in Puerto Morelos when I was 32, I was 'young', single and open to new adventures. I was nervous to be in a new town many miles away from home but soon enough I found myself surrounded by great friends from all over! The magic of Puerto Morelos happened a year in when I met Jaime at La Sirena. Turns out that Love is all around Puerto. We are now married and have two amazing kids, Nico who is 3, and Inés who is 2. I am so grateful to call Puerto home and have this paradise be part of my kids' childhood. 

I initially moved here to work at Grand Residences where I served as the General Manager, but when I found myself needing a change, I turned to real estate! I am excited to be part of Run Away Realty because I know how exciting it is to find a place that makes you feel that you belong and that you finally arrived where you needed to be. I am very excited for this new opportunity and I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you find the house of your dreams

Meet Austin

Howdy!  I'm Austin, a proud Coloradan who now has the pleasure of calling Puerto Morelos home.  I've been visiting this amazing seaside town since my grandmother moved here in the early 2000s.  When the opportunity arose for me to ditch the traditional 9-5 lifestyle in Denver and join my mom's real estate agency I knew that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to write my next chapter here in Mexico.  I'm excited to see how this adventure unfolds, and I'm looking forward to helping my clients find their perfect slice of paradise!
