CRATE Interiors Sponsors AMPI Vallarta Posada 2025

CRATE Interiors was proud to serve as a supporting sponsor of the AMPI Vallarta & Compostela Posada 2025, an annual celebration honoring the top-performing real estate professionals in Puerto Vallarta and the Bay of Banderas.

Celebrating the resilience of Puerto Vallarta’s real estate community

Set on the waterfront at Daiquiri Dick’s in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the evening showcased everything we love about this market: bold design, elevated hospitality, and world-class real estate marketing. Guests enjoyed Oscar-worthy tray-passed bites, artesanal cocktails, a live location broadcast, and a finale featuring a spectacular light show, fireworks, and dancing on the bay.

Honoring a resilient AMPI Realtor community

To every AMPI realtor and broker who achieved their performance goals in 2025—we salute you. And frankly, in a year like this, any agent who is still in business deserves a standing ovation.

This has been one of the most challenging real estate cycles since 2010. Yet we’ve watched this community:

  • Adapt to rapid changes in the Mexico real estate market

  • Innovate with AI, social media, and digital marketing

  • Invest heavily in master classes and professional development

  • Implement game-changing strategies to serve foreign buyers and vacation home investors

Your professionalism and dedication to clients are truly an inspiration.

How CRATE Interiors supports AMPI realtors

As the only truly turnkey furnishing solution for North American buyers in Mexico, CRATE Interiors stepped in this year to help realtors:

  • Stage and style listings to shorten days on market

  • Furnish and comarket model units for new developments

  • Renovate older legacy properties to meet today’s rental and resale expectations

  • Professionally photograph stagnant listings to relaunch them

  • Fully furnish vacation homes, luxury villas, and rental properties for investors with tighter timelines and stricter budgets than ever before

Our goal is simple: help AMPI realtors close faster, deliver possession dates sooner, and hand over keys to move-in ready, fully furnished homes across Puerto Vallarta, Bucerías, Punta Mita, Sayulita and the greater Bay of Banderas.

“One community, one bay, one team.”

Porque todos somos una sola empresa,
cuando tienes éxito, tenemos éxito,
cuando creces, crecemos.
Somos un solo equipo, una bahía y una comunidad.

Because we are one community—and when one of us succeeds, we all succeed.

A message from our founder, Debra Stevenson

At the event, our founder Debra Stevenson was invited to share CRATE Interiors’ ongoing commitment to the AMPI community:

“I started CRATE Interiors here in Puerto Vallarta 15 years ago as the ultimate turnkey furnishing solution for North American buyers in Mexico. Today—thanks to the support of this community—every week, every month and every year, we help AMPI realtors deliver vacation homes, luxury villas and rental properties around the Bay of Banderas that are fully furnished, styled and move-in ready.”

Local jobs, local impact

Behind every white glove install is a network of seven locally based, family-run teams and three designers who make up the CRATE Interiors crew. Together, we:

  • Support multi-generational families with bonuses, incentives and career pathways

  • Donate gently used furnishings from renovation projects to a circle of local charities

  • Provide consistent, professional-grade work that reflects the best of Puerto Vallarta’s design and hospitality standards

We are proud that our work multiplies impact—supporting local jobs, local families, and local causes while elevating the standard of turnkey vacation home design in Mexico.

Our mission: move dreamers to paradise

Our mission is simple: move dreamers to paradise, one beautifully installed home at a time.
