It's the next best thing to being here!!!!!
Let's get started!!!!! But first some very straight talk about how the real estate game is played down here.
There are five main differences in the politics of real estate in the Yucatan from what you may be accustom to in other parts of the world.
You do not need a licence to trade real estate in the Yucatan. It is perfectly legal for an amateur to represent themselves as seasoned professionals, after all, they're likable people who have bought a house or two during their life time and selling real estate is easy ...
That is until there's a problem!!!! Which makes it your problem!!!!! Deal with an experienced broker who has acquired the competence to navigate the process flawlessly.
No multiple listing service (MLS) exists down here so clients do not have a method of seeing all available properties in this area by going to just one web site or visiting one office. There are a number of reputable realtors in the Yucatan, who, for the most part cooperate with each other. So, if you spotted one of your preferred properties on another web site we can probably help you and vise versa.
It is very difficult to show a property with less than 48 hours notice because most sellers are hesitant to permit a lock box to be installed on their property . This necessitates a trip to the listing office for the keys.
Very few Mexican Banks provide financing to foreigners and the rates are in the 15 % range with substantial down payments and expensive registration fees (when compared to registering a mortgage in other countries).
It is essential to arrange your mortgage funding either through YMB or with your own institution before you leave home.
Properties sell quickly and clients should be prepared to either prove their financial resources or lose out to another purchaser who has their financial affairs in order. This step is mandatory for "YMB registered clients".
Jokers are wild!! No discussion of real estate would be complete without mention of the ladies and gentlemen, who after having a few drinks at their hotel are inspired to call the local real estate agent for a free tour of the city.
YMB operates on pre-paid appointments in order to best provide serious qualified purchasers with unrestricted access to our resources. Our fees are mandatory and refundable on closing.
The aforementioned hazards exist in different forms wherever real estate is bought and sold globally. The real message here is deal with a reputable realtor and it won't be an issue.
The conclusion of buying real estate in the Yucatan is the same as buying real estate any where else, our clients end up with a lifestyle they can easily afford, in an area they'll enjoy for many years.
Adventure, new friends, new culture and near perfect year round weather await you...See you at the airport!!!
