Mexico real estate listings and Mexico real estate investment information for Huatulco, Baja, Cancun, Ixtapa, Manzanillo, Mazatlan, Puerto Escondido and Puerto Vallarta.

A Mexico real estate or business transaction should require no less documentation than in your own country. Visit Mexico Real Estate Info more information.

1. Your Mexico real estate purchase contract should be no less detailed than in your own country. A foreigner's rights and recourse are near nonexistent without an attorney approved purchase contract. It can be most helpful to work with a lawyer who is licensed to practice law in both Mexico and the USA.

2. All purchase funds should be placed in a neutral, third party escrow with specific instructions for disbursement of funds.

3. Always obtain Mexico Title Insurance from a reputable international title insurance company. Please be advised that the very important local Notario who handles your Mexico real estate transaction is acting without any liability for his service. The Notario is not liable for defects in title and the Notario is certainly not liable for lack of disclosure from the seller.

4. It is always advisable for a buyer to retain professional real estate broker services for analysis of the many factors which can affect the value and security of your real estate investment.

5. It is strongly recommended that you consult a qualified attorney before investing in uncompleted developments of any kind. There can be little or no recourse when a developer fails to complete a proposed project and it is not uncommon for projects to lack proper completion bonds, permits and licenses. Visit the Development Info section for more information about investing in new development projects.

Buyer Beware: Mexico real estate prices that seem too good to be true are usually too good to be true! Many of these "bargains" are located on what is commonly referred to as "Ejido" or communal tracts of land. It is highly recommended that you consult with a Mexico attorney regarding Ejido land rights.

Be advised that there are no laws which regulate the sale or management of real estate in Mexico and abuses do exist.
