Our Story

A Partnership Built on Relationships, Not Transactions

Adam and Timothy divide their time between Puerto Vallarta and Austin, Texas, and have run 5-star-rated Airbnbs in Chicago and Austin — experience that shapes every detail of a stay at Casa Creciente. In Puerto Vallarta they're joined by Raúl Murillo, our on-site property manager, so every guest is looked after by someone who knows the neighborhood by heart.

Their paths could hardly be more different, and that's the point. Adam spent nearly eight years as CIO and Chief Digital Officer of commercial real-estate giant Cushman & Wakefield, bringing boardroom-level strategy and negotiation to every detail. Timothy came up through property management and rose to the top of professional kitchens as an award-winning chef — a hospitality instinct that shows in the care behind every stay.

Adam Stanley and Timothy Powles lead AT Real Estate Group LLC, which includes Adam Timothy Group at Compass — sales and leasing of property across Central Texas — and Adam Timothy Home, a vacation and long-term rental management company. They combine deep real-estate expertise with a genuine passion for people, helping buyers, sellers, investors, and guests navigate not just the transaction, but the experience behind it. That same philosophy shapes how they host: every guest treated like the most important person in the room.

Proudly LGBTQ+ friendly. Everyone is welcome here.

01 — Host & Co-Founder

Adam Stanley

Board Director · Real Estate Investments & Advisory

Adam spent nearly eight years as CIO and Chief Digital Officer of commercial real-estate giant Cushman & Wakefield, bringing boardroom-level strategy to everything he does. A major foodie and well-traveled guest himself — around forty-five countries and counting — he holds high expectations for cleanliness and service, and hosts to that same standard: filtered drinking water, good coffee, quality toiletries, hot showers, and wooden hangers, because they're exactly what he looks for when he travels. He divides his time between Puerto Vallarta and Austin, Texas.

A little about Adam

A business traveler even on vacation, and proud of his home — beautiful, peaceful, and held to the standard he'd want as a guest. A genuinely nice guy who respects people and property.

Timothy Powles

02 — Host & Co-Founder

Timothy Powles

Hospitality Professional · Real Estate Investments & Advisory

Timothy is a chef turned real-estate agent, helping clients buy and sell across the Austin metro — and Adam's partner in both business and life. His years at the top of professional kitchens as an award-winning chef show in a hospitality instinct that treats every guest like the most important person in the room. He divides his time between Puerto Vallarta and Austin, and makes sure no detail is overlooked.

A little about Timothy

An award-winning chef who knows a great stay is all in the details — and he'll happily point you to the finest food in Vallarta.

Raúl Murillo

03 — On-Site Property Manager

Raúl Murillo

Founder of Mava

Raúl has lived in Puerto Vallarta for five years and manages sixteen vacation rentals across Zona Romántica, Centro, 5 de Diciembre, and Punta Mita. He founded Mava on a simple belief: guests deserve to book direct — without booking fees or surprises — and owners deserve a local partner who treats their property like their own. No big agency, no call center — just one host who answers your message, knows every neighborhood, and shows up when something needs fixing.

A little about Raúl

A true local guide — ask him where to eat and you'll end up somewhere you'd never have found alone (and yes, there's a puppy named Rocky).
