Message me directlyYour property, in front of the right buyers
Most of our buyers come from the US and Canada. We know what they ask, what worries them, and what gets them to make an offer.
Professional photos and video
Every listing gets professional photography and a video walkthrough on our YouTube channel, so buyers abroad can tour your home before they book a flight.
Marketing that reaches buyers
Your property goes on our website, social media, our email newsletter and targeted online ads aimed at qualified buyers.
A licensed team, not a lone agent
Mike and our licensed agents work together on every sale, so someone is always available to answer buyers and show your home.
Honest pricing
We price from real comparable sales and show you what you would walk away with after costs and taxes, before you sign anything.
Paperwork handled
We coordinate the notary, attorneys, bank trust and closing certificates, and we tell you exactly which documents we need and when.
Clear updates
You hear from us after showings and offers, by WhatsApp or email, whichever you prefer. No chasing your agent.

Notary closing

What sellers in Mexico should know
Capital gains tax (ISR)
Capital gains tax may apply when you sell. The amount depends on your purchase price, documented improvements and the exchange rate. The notary calculates it, and we get you a seller estimate early so there are no surprises.
Your bank trust (fideicomiso)
If you own through a fideicomiso, it is either cancelled or transferred at closing. There is a bank cost for this, and we coordinate it with the bank and notary.
Closing certificates
Before closing, the notary needs certificates showing no liens and no unpaid property tax or water bills. We order them at the right time in the process.
Documents to have ready
- Your deed (escritura) or trust documents
- Current property tax receipt (predial)
- HOA and water no-debt letters
- Valid ID (passport)
- Original purchase invoice or deed, for the tax calculation

Seller questions, answered
What is my property worth?
Request a free valuation. We look at recent comparable sales and what is on the market now, then send you a suggested price range and an estimate of what you would walk away with.
Do I need to be in Mexico to sell?
Not for most of it. We host the showings and keep you updated remotely. For the closing you can usually sign in person or through a power of attorney. The notary confirms what works for your case.
How long does it take?
Time on the market depends on price, location and condition. Once you accept an offer, closing typically takes 8 to 10 weeks.
What does it cost to sell?
The main seller costs are the agents’ commission plus IVA (set out in your listing agreement), capital gains tax if it applies, the cost of cancelling or transferring your fideicomiso, and the closing certificates. Each side normally pays its own legal fees. We give you an estimate in writing before you list.
Can I sell furnished, or with renters in place?
Yes. Many of our sales are turnkey. Tell us what stays and what goes, and we will build that into the listing and the contract.
Do you work with other agents?
Yes. We attend every showing, even when the buyer has their own agent. About 80% of our listings sell through other agencies, because we’d rather get your home sold quickly than wait to find the buyer ourselves.
