We already bought a Condo in Playa del Carmen!!!


 

We just wanted to say thank you for making our retirement home purchase a great experience!!!!!  Our plan was to sell our business and retire to Playa del carmen for the winters away from the canadian cold and snow.  We began by searching online  looking at properties and talking to real estate agents about the area and homes for sale.  Alex sent us alot of information and properties for sale and steered us in the right direction.  We set up a week holiday and met up with Alex , where he showed us different real estate and gave us great information so we could decide what we wanted to buy.  We were a little nervous about the whole procedure but Alex looked after everything for us and made it very easy.  When we are not in Playa Alex looks after everything for us and pays all the bills and rents it out.  We are now retired and planning to spend most of our winter at our new home.  Alex you are the greatest real estate salesman and one of the nicest people we know.        Pepe and Heather

    That is why is so important to have the right people on your side .

    You need a combination of experience, a knowledgeable  real estate agent, who is able to explain each step in detail to you and  makes sure, that you buy secure and smart.

     The Public Notary:

  • A Mexican Notary (Notario Publico) is a licensed attorney, who is a certified representative of the Mexican Government.

  • A Mexican Notary provides legal security of original records and documents and theyare in charge of recording the documents with the Public Registry of Property and they can be held liable in both civil and criminal terms, which guarantees their integrity.

  • The notary performs the authentication of legal documents, they are in charge of the calculation of capital gains tax and are as well responsible for ratifying ALL real estate transactions and all kinds of other transactions in Mexico. 

    In our case of a real estate purchase the notary is neutrally responsible to the buyer and the seller and ultimately responsible to the Mexican Law/Government.
