Why I Built
This Practice
I started in law before I started in real estate — and that order matters.
Years of practice in Mexican property law and immigration showed me a pattern I couldn’t unsee: foreign buyers were arriving in Mexico with savings, dreams, and surprisingly little protection. Most agents they worked with represented the seller. Most contracts they signed were drafted to favor the developer. Most fideicomisos they signed were never explained line by line. And most of the time, they never knew what they had agreed to until something went wrong.
I built this practice to fix that. Not to sell more. To sell better — and only on the buyer’s side.
“A foreign buyer in Mexico doesn’t need another agent. They need an advocate, an attorney, and a translator of risk — in one person.”
Credentials & Background
I am a Licensed Mexican Attorney with active practice rights in Mexico, a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), a Member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and a Certified Real Estate Agent in Yucatán (License R61433362).
My professional experience spans three jurisdictions:
- Mexico — Investment structuring, pre-sale developments, residential acquisitions, fideicomiso strategy, immigration.
- United States — Real estate transactions, property management, cross-border tax considerations.
- Canada — Immigration coordination, dual-jurisdiction structuring for Canadian buyers entering Mexico.
What I Believe
Real estate, especially across borders, is one of the largest financial decisions most people will make in their lifetime. It is also one of the easiest to get wrong — quietly, expensively, irreversibly. My approach is grounded in three things: structure, transparency, and trust.
Structure
Every engagement runs on a defined process — not improvisation. You will always know what step we’re on, what comes next, and what could go wrong.
Transparency
If a property has a problem, I will tell you. If a developer has a history, I will share it. If walking away is the right call, I will say so — even if it costs me a fee.
Trust
The buyer-rep model only works on trust. I work with a small number of clients per year, on purpose. I would rather lose a deal than lose a client’s confidence.
Patience
The right property in Mexico is worth waiting for. Most of my clients spend three to nine months from first call to closing. Slow is safe.
Building a Global Life
My practice is built around a particular kind of client: the one who is looking at Mexico not just as a property purchase, but as a piece of a larger life — a relocation, a second base, an investment hedge, a retirement plan, a dual-residency strategy. That’s why immigration sits inside my practice, not outside it. It’s why my work doesn’t stop at closing. And it’s why most of my clients become long-term ones.
If you’re thinking about Mexico, the first step is a private call. We’ll talk about your goals honestly. If I’m the right fit, we’ll move forward together. If I’m not, I’ll tell you who is.
