Welcome to www.TOPMexicoRealEstate.com

With a degree in Business -Finance Option from Purdue University Krannert School of Management, and with an entrepreneurial heart, I moved down to Mexico approximately 15 years ago. (SEE OUR CREDENTIALS). In 2008, I began the process to obtain Mexicos first generation real estate license and degree that was applied on a joint national effort administered by AMPI ( Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals) AND the federal government institution of education called CENEVAL. I also have another government authorized federal Certification in Mexico Real Estate and have been a member of AMPI for various years. During my 15 years of working professionally, living, and consulting in Mexico, I have accumulated a great amount of experience in the Latin American business culture and in operating businesses.

With this background, we developed a strong belief that we follow here in TOPMexicoRealEstate and that is a commitment towards maintaining ourselves government certified, educated by authorized institutions, and updated on the guidelines, the government laws, and the changing business atmospheres here in Mexico. The process of Buying real estate in Mexico is quite different than what we are accustomed from our home countries. We apply our Mexican business experiences and knowledge to represent you, the Mexican foreign buyer in the best manner to ensure a safe and wonderful experience in your purchasing process. For this reason it is recommended that your first step in your process of acquiring property here in Mexico, be the selection of a TOP Mexico Real Estate broker and experts team.

Following our vision, we created a website in order to help buyers searching in the Mexico Real Estate market. We have met, interviewed, and identified some of the TOP brokers and consultants from the different regions of Mexico. We have invited Mexican realtors from these different cities who have many years of direct experience in real estate activities and are regarded by many in their field as experts.

Yes, non-Mexicans can now legally own Ocean front Properties

The dream of owning / buying property in Mexico is possible! You need to do your homework first, and surround yourself with a good real estate team to help you in your search and in correctly acquiring such a Mexico Property investment.

Mexican foreigners may purchase and have direct ownership of real estate in the interior of Mexico. In the regions known as the RESTRICTED ZONE, foreigners again may purchase and own Mexico property, but they must do so using either a Mexico Real Estate Bank Trust, or own it through a Mexico Corporation. The RESTRICTED ZONE is defined by the Mexican Constitution as that area located within 50 kilometers from any coastline, and within 100 kilometers from any Mexican Border.

Choosing either a Mexico Real Estate Bank trust versus the Mexico Corporation depends on the final use of the property. If you buy property in Mexico for residential purposes or like a Mexico retirement home, it is recommended to hold the property under the Trust system. If you buy property in Mexico  for commercial ends, the Mexican Corporation is the preferred option. This is the basic rule of thumb, but a close study of the particular situation is needed to ensure the best suggested option according to the buyers goals and wishes. Note: Mexican foreigners can own 100% of a Mexican corporation.

 

Mexico Real Estate News

I took a quick visit to the Tulum real estate region this afternoon.  It is always fun to visit this up and coming town because there always seems to be something new.  Today, I thought I would let my photos do most of the talking. When many people imagine the Tulum Real Estate market....this is what usually comes to mind. Many people are surprised, as I was today to see a variety of new projects being constructed.  This is a small complex, 8 units, shared garden areas with beautiful pool, all within walled perimeter in the Tulum center. The thatched roof on this building is a common site here in Tulum and gives the ambiance of the region.  This design actually is quite practical as it absorbs the direct rays of the sun, and the open patio allows for the ocean breezes to distribute the build up of the temperature. Thinking of retiring in Mexico, down here in Tulum?  Ok, this type of layout and the majority of them being single story looks incredibly inviting. Do you want to get lost in the Tulum jungle?  Eco living, live off the land, solar energy, wind power....that can be found here in the Tulum real estate region too. Check out this outdoor bathtub.  Don`t worry about the neighbors seeing you,  take a look at that jungle.  No one can see you except the monkeys. If being off the grid is too extreme for you, check out the wide avenues, underground electric, fiber optics, and other services this project is offering. Well, after a long day of work,  might as well wind her down a little by checking out one of my favorite beaches.

There are several reasons why Yucatan real estate is an ideal place for your Mexico retirement.  While most of the features can be found in some other parts of Mexico, Merida, the capital of Yucatan, and the surrounding area provide a fairly unique combination of the following features. Colonial Magic When the Spaniards conquered the Yucatan Peninsula, the city of Merida was founded on the site of an ancient Mayan city.  The narrow streets, old buildings and traditional Mexican homes still reflect the magical atmosphere of centuries gone by.  With traditional music to be heard in the streets and handcrafts to be found in community markets, retirees can enjoy this rich lifestyle to its fullest.  Mexico homes within walking distance can be found for very low prices. Beachfront Luxury Only 30 minutes away from Merida is the beachfront resort community of Progreso, where modern condos can be found with ocean views.  Eastward along the north coast of the Peninsula is the Emerald Coast, which is a beautiful stretch of small communities along amazing beaches.  Whether you live directly on the beach or not, you will be able to spend many retirement days walking in the sand. Modern Services Merida is the largest city and cultural center of Yucatan.  It includes new shopping malls, large international stores, an international airport, excellent highways to nearby areas, modern hospitals and much more.  The magic of the old city and beauty of the beachfront is balanced well by modern convenience. Many Activities Besides the restaurants and galleries of Merida, and the oceanfront activities on the beach (diving, snorkeling, etc.) retirees can enjoy professional golf, sight seeing in ancient Mayan pyramid sites, swimming in the "cenotes," which are cool, natural fresh water pools, shopping, English movies, libraries, live Jazz concerts and much more. Healthcare and Retirement Specific Services To make all of this even more appealing to retirees, the city government has recently begun to make an effort to attract retirement-specific healthcare facilities, in addition to other services.  This is in addition to the excellent hospitals which already exist. Retirees can enjoy life in a charming lifestyle in an old colonial city, a close-knit community, and at the same time have easy access to the conveniences and services necessary.  Merida is a rare balance of all of these very attractive features.

Last  week, TOP Mexico Real Estate was invited to the Riviera Maya University where Mr. Paul Sanchez gave a presentation regarding SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT and how it is and can continue to be introduced here in the Playa del Carmen land growth and development that is occurring.  Mr. Paul Sanchez administers the CEA, a non profit conservation organization based in Akumal.  He helps to review the impact of the growth and development upon the environment.  His goal is to share his know-how, the data he collects from the environment in order to help educate the government, the private sector, and all people the relations that exist between ecology and community development. In the presentation he stated; "Sustainable development is development that satisfies present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs. The core principles that we need to work on are economic, social, and environmental, searching for equilibrium among the three."

From here, he pointed out the importance of having adequate indicators introduced to the process in order to adequately measure changes in the system.  Depending on the region or the specific environment in question will determine the type of indicators that  must be implemented.  Here in thePlaya del Carmen and the Riviera Maya region, the coral reefs, the sand dunes, the mangroves, cenotes, underground streams, the jungle, and the wild life that lives within are some of the Eco system that we must... protect while development occurs.

The Playa del Carmen real estate market is one of the fastest growing communities in Latin America.    With so many people being introduced to this region, it is hard to overlook the "shock" this trend is placing upon the eco system.  I enjoyed listening and learning of this message that Mr. Paul Sanchez was transmitting.  Paul has a large task set before him and many people I speak with feel their contribution will be too small and a mere drop in the bucket  therefore insignificant.   But all actions (such as conserving water, ensuring your property's drainage system, voicing your opinion with the public officials etc.)  executed jointly and with persistence will make the difference.

What do you think? Don't our kids and our grand kids deserve an effort  from us so they also can experience this ... "paradise"? To learn more about Paul and CEA click here ( CEA  ) Thomas Lloyd graduated from Purdue University Krannert School of Management with a degree in Management/Financial Option Investments. He has been living, investing, and working professionally in Mexico for over 15 years.

This is an updated post on a fascinating Playa del Carmen condo hotel located right on the beach in the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen. Every creation from this developer offers something unique, especially this recently completed complex, which has many wow factors and extreme attention to details.

It offers a reception office, security 24 hours, elevators, underground parking, 41 units of 1,2 and 3 bedrooms in 4 levels and a fantastic beach club that is open to conveniently serve owners and guests, as well as open to the public. Also, much apprecation to the beach recovery that took place earlier this year, this complex now has a tremendous open space in front and the colors of the Caribbean waters are stunning.

This is a project of superb high quality finishings. The units come fully furnished with hardwood cabinets, marble countertops and many of the furnishing and decorations are imported from the East. The wall around pool and sitting lounge, which has a direct view to the beach, was delicately constructed with a various number of onyx pieces and decorated with fountain statues.

Some of the perks of owning in this complex is included in the condo fee are access to use the beach club in front and to a world glass gym, which is about 2 blocks away. There are still some great units available starting just over $400k. Click here for more photos and details.

There are many, many reasons to live in Mexico for retirement; just a few of them are:
  • Excellent Mexico condos and home options for comfortable retirement
  • Warm weather all year round
  • Low cost of living
  • Excellent services and infrastructure
  • Good healthcare (at much lower prices)
  • Many excellent retirement activities – anything from sailing, to visiting ancient pyramids, to golf
In addition to all of this, here's another key point; retiring in Mexico is actually one of the best ways to get to know other retirees.  While even back home, we can feel a little lost in the crowd, many of Mexico's main beachfront destinations, as well as the most popular colonial cities and lakeside towns are home to a significant number of expats; many of them are here in Mexico for the same reasons as you, and you will find close friendships quickly.  The fact that you are both expats retiring in Mexico will give you an immediate connection. Some residential developments are going one step further; they are actually planning and designing specifically to foster the lifestyle you are looking for.  One excellent example of this is a new Mexican retirement community in Playa del Carmen, named La Escondida. La Escondida's plans include thoughtful features for good deal of details for the relaxing retirement you're looking for.  In terms of community planning, it is worth noting that only 26% of the development is dedicated to residential construction (which includes a variety of options, including condos and single family homes). The other 74% is dedicated to shared green space, swimming pools, a club house with activity rooms, a gym and a reception style and welcome area.  Here, you will be able to get to know your neighbors easily, and have plenty of options to spend time together. But this is not all.  As a full boutique hotel, it also offers many ways to enjoy the surrounding area, with a concierge, baggage delivery, green transportation service and an associated tour company.  The services will allow you to focus on getting to know the neighbors, and enjoying Playa del Carmen and the surrounding area with them. This is one example of how retirement in Mexico can be the best way to spend these relaxing years.  Contact us to talk about the possibilities best for you.
