North American Standards Property Management Company (NAS) is a boutique Playa del Carmen property management and vacation rental business founded by Matt Weatherbee and Allan Lockhart.  NAS seeks to distinguish itself by providing the quality of care clients expect from a major property management firm as well as the personal attention clients require from a dedicated manager.  Matt and Allan bring over 40 years of combined property management experience.  Unlike many larger companies in the industry, NAS focuses solely on property management and rentals, allowing us to provide our clients with more tailored service.  Only through this type of personal attention can NAS hope to cultivate long lasting relationships with its clients.

NAS was conceived during one fateful Spring vacation to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.  Founders and Boston, Massachusetts natives, Matt Weatherbee and Allan Lockhart, fell in love with Playa.  They had observed from Playa’s rapid real estate growth the need for competent, attentive, efficient and experienced property managers in the Riviera Maya.  Matt and Allan decided to transport their combined 40 years’ of property management experience from Boston to Mexico – literally.  Upon returning from vacation, they sold everything, packed their SUV and 3 months later drove 4,500 miles from Boston to Playa del Carmen to start their new business venture.

Matt graduated cum laude from Ithaca College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and minors in Theatre and Spanish.  He was inducted into Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities and speaks both English and Spanish.  He has 9 years experience managing a high-end Boston law firm where he was responsible for overseeing the internal operations, including but not limited to, bookkeeping, administrative staffing and computer systems.  Allan has owned and operated his own businesses for years, including nursing homes, fast food restaurants and health clubs.  Throughout his career, Allan has always been responsible for maintaining his own properties, including but not limited to, HVAC, water, sewer and electrical.  In the last business he established and managed, Allan designed, supervised the build out of and oversaw the maintenance of a 2000 plus member fitness facility.  Together Matt and Allan managed a 35 unit condominium complex along the Charles River in the high-end Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.
