Reservation & Contract Signing
With due diligence complete, you sign the purchase agreement and pay the reservation deposit. For pre-construction properties, we establish the payment schedule. Everything is documented, transparent, and legally binding.

Closing & Title Transfer

- Title transfer and registration
- Payment of closing costs (4–7%)

Common Questions
For resale properties, the full process from first call to closing typically takes 45–90 days. Pre-construction purchases can close faster since the property is not yet built — you reserve, sign, and pay in stages over the construction period.
No. Many of my clients complete the entire process remotely. I conduct virtual tours, coordinate with notaries who work with international buyers, and can arrange power of attorney so you never need to travel until you want to.
A fideicomiso is a bank trust that allows foreigners to own property in Mexico's restricted zone (within 50km of the coast). It grants you full ownership rights — you can sell, rent, or pass the property to heirs — for 50 years, renewable indefinitely. It is the standard, secure structure used by thousands of international buyers.
Closing costs in Mexico typically range from 4–7% of the purchase price. This includes acquisition tax (ISAI), notary fees, registration fees, and fideicomiso setup. I provide a full cost breakdown before you commit to any purchase — no surprises.
Yes. Mexico has robust property laws that protect foreign buyers. With a properly structured fideicomiso or Mexican corporation, your ownership is legally recognized and enforceable. I work exclusively with reputable notaries and legal teams to ensure your investment is fully protected.
