More important than
choosing the actual property is the process of choosing an experienced real
estate team to guide you through the purchasing process.
Think about it, here
in Mexico, the laws and regulations are not as mature and sophisticated as the
laws from United States and Canada. The safety nets that are in place in
the United States may not exist in Mexico. Laying the responsibility on your
real estate team to make sure you make a safe and secure purchase.
You need a real estate
agent who knows the business culture in Mexico, knows how to speak and read in
Spanish, they need to have experience reading contracts and titles. Your agent
should have many years of experience in dealing with the Mexico real estate
market. Real estate in United States and in Canada is a whole different
ball game than here in Mexico, so look for hands on experience in the Mexico.
It is important to
find a full time real estate professional. If this is a part time job, a
hobby, or a source of extra spending money for them… you should definitely
continue interviewing. There are too many changes to the laws, too
many properties and listings that are being introduced or pulled off of the
market, and many variables occurring with developers, your agent needs to be up
to speed on current market conditions. You deserve a sharp real
estate team, one that is continually looking out for your interests.
A realtor who is a
professional will have credentials, will be continuously improving their
knowledge and understanding of the real estate market, constantly learning more.
Look for a Mexico
agent who has real estate diplomas, certificates and licenses. Here
in Mexico and depending upon the state, some licenses and registrations
are required. In the state of Quintana Roo, a new registration process is
now required. And if a realtor is serious, university degrees in
Mexico are now attainable including a federal professional identification
number.
Does the realtor you
are interviewing have a support group or staff behind them to support your
requirements and their work load? Will they have the time to search for
many property options? Do they have a staff to help review your contracts
and coordinate the closing process. During the closing process, stress
increases and monies start being released. As a buyer, as a new buyer in
a different county, you want to make sure you understand the process, and feel
secure knowing you have a full time team
looking out for your monies and all of your interests.
Be organized right from
the beginning will help you avoid many stressful situations, making your first
investment purchase of your dream home... a wonderful adventure. If you do not take the time in the beginning
to hire on a professional real estate team, instead of a wonderful
adventure you may have a stressful and expensive experience.
