If you’re thinking about investing in Ecuador, real estate in particular, I suggest looking up Gary A. Scott’s Ecuador Real Estate and Mystical Andes Tours. The tour offers much more than just information about real estate in Ecuador, it gives you an education on 
the market and additional information on business ideas and life in Ecuador in general. Gary and his wife, Merri, are the perfect ones to be offering this tour, as they have experience in real estate around the world (40 years experience in international business), and have been in Ecuador for the last 13 years, owning property and a successful business.
The tour departs from Quito, Ecuador and has a duration of two days in the Province of Imbabura. Gary and Merri recommend that you arrive in Quito one or two days before your tour departure date. After the tour ends you can depart the evening of the last day of the real estate tour or the following morning.
Gary and Merri do a great job of helping those who take their tours to save money by avoiding brokers. They scour Ecuadorian newspapers looking for unique properties that they can present to those taking the real estate tour. They also contact developers directly and ask them to give discounts to those on their tour, since they do not have to pay the commission that would normally go to real estate agents.
