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 Mexico’s 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. Brokers who are presidents or members of AMPI associations with high levels of expertise in their fields and brokers with similar beliefs regarding the importance of maintaining themselves educated and certified in the field of Mexico Real Estate. Our goal when you visit our web site is to answer your questions, share our guides and articles on how to buy Mexico Real Estate written by these same experts, introduce you to numerous listings, and to introduce you to TOP qualified Mexico brokers and 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 buyer’s goals and wishes. Note: Mexican foreigners can own 100% of a Mexican corporation.

What would you do if you could own a piece of a beautiful, sandy beachfront?  Build your dream home?  Spend vacations there with your children?  Plan for a very comfortable retirement?  Or maybe use it as an investment?  Whichever option you choose, you don't have to limit yourself to imagining. Cheap Mexico beachfront lots with 66 ft of virgin beachfront are available for only $64,900 USD! The lots are located on the Campeche beachfront, on the Gulf coast of Mexico's famous Yucatan Peninsula.  Since location is always the #1 rule of real estate, here are some benefits which this Campeche real estate opportunity offer from the surrounding area:
  • a colonial city – the beautifully restored historic center of the city of Campeche, surrounded by an old fort wall is only 45 minutes away
  • international airports – one is in the city of Campeche, another in Ciudad del Carmen (35 minutes), and a few hours away are Merida and Cancun
  • golf courses, marina – these are in progress, soon to be completed
  • upscale real estate – high-end condos in the golf course developments indicate a good probability for solid appreciation
  • tourism activities – boating, waterfront activities, extreme jungle sports, site seeing, and much more mean never a dull moment (unless you want a dull moment, of course)
  • Mayan pyramid sites – the most famous one, Chichen Itza, is only a few hours away, but in Campeche itself, there are hundreds
  • Modern services – such as large, international stores (Walmart, for example) and new, high-quality hospitals
The lots themselves are also ideal both for lifestyle and for investment.  Located close to all of the amenities listed above, this Mexico land offers the following features:
  • virgin beachfront – they are directly on beaches that you will be the first to enjoy (the only downside is that you'll have to clean the seaweed and shells off)
  • 1320 ft depth – there is plenty of space to build, both on the beachfront, and in the back part of the lots
  • highway access, direct – the Campeche – Ciudad del Carmen highway is very well maintained, and offers fast access to the area's amenities
  • phone, internet, water, electricity – connections are being installed down the highway, and some hookups are ready on the lots
  • a lagoon – this beautiful, natural lagoon stretches across the back of the lots, and is perfect for boating, fishing and viewing wildlife
  • investment opportunity – whether it's in your family, your future retirement, or for financial gain, this combination of benefits at this price promises very good outcomes
Consider buying one of these lots, building the home of your dreams, and investing in your future! Bob McCain has been working in Real Estate in Mexico for over 8 years. He has been very successful in the booming real estate market in Playa del Carmen for the past 7 years and now Campeche has caught his attention.

When most people think of Mexico retirement in a beachfront community like Playa del Carmen, they usually imagine retirement directly on, or  a very short walk from the beachfront – and it is no wonder considering the lure of these wide beaches with soft, white sand.  However, good options in Playa del Carmen condos and homes are beginning to become available in alternative locations, i.e. not directly in the beachfront area. What would retirement be like in a neighborhood not directly on the beachfront?  The following points about developments back from the beach are worth consideration in making the decision if your Playa del Carmen retirement should be within walking distance to the beach or not. 1. Access to the beach Before moving to other points, it is important to note that even "far from the beach" in Playa del Carmen is not really far from the beach.  With a large number of easily accessible public entrance points, the newest, most distant developments on the edge of the city are still about a 10 minute drive (maybe closer to 15 if you get unlucky with the handful of traffic lights along the way.)  If you don't want to own a car, a taxi is only about $3.  Taxis in Playa del Carmen are all officially registered, and are very safe.  You're definitely not giving up the beach. 2. Lower prices, lower fees Playa del Carmen condos in these areas will generally cost less, or at least offer more for the same price.  The same is true about condo fees. 3. More space This is related to point number 2.  Since the areas farther back from the beach are still in somewhat lower demand, developers can offer a larger amount of green space and recreational areas directly in the neighborhood. 4. Large number of retirement activities In the "back" part of Playa del Carmen, there are two new shopping malls, very close to numerous new developments.  These malls not only provide large supermarkets, warehouse style club stores, English movie theaters, nice cafes and many other stores and services, but one also includes an informal chess club (no membership or anything, you just sit down and play). Depending on the development or neighborhood which you choose, some include community recreation areas and buildings with a large number of options for relaxing, such as pools, gyms, card rooms, etc.  The idea providing "condo-hotel" services is also growing, with benefits such as baggage drop off, and transportation downtown, not only eliminating the need for a car, but even for taxis in most cases. If you are planning retirement in Playa del Carmen, consider an alternative location.  If being very close to the beach is the most important point for you, there are many excellent options; but if you feel you can trade just a bit of distance for many services and conveniences, plus lower prices, these would be an option worth considering.

Cozumel stands out from the majority of Mexico real estate since it is an island.  For some buyers considering Cozumel real estate, this may raise the concern of transportation to and from the island.  However, both international transportation and getting to and from the mainland are actually relatively easy processes. During the week of June 28 – July 4, 2010, 37 flights were scheduled to land in Cozumel, from national and international destinations, carrying a total of over 5,500 passengers.  For any Mexico real estate market whose prices are influenced by non-Mexican demand,  airports and flights are one of the top factors of influence.  This is great for the Cozumel real estate market.  Direct flights arrive from and leave for many North American destinations on a daily basis, including Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Charlotte, Toronto and many more.  The prices for direct flights are comparable to that of other beachfront destinations in Mexico, with a round trip to Dallas costing about $600.  Flights with stop overs can be found for as low as $400. Travel to and from the Mexico mainland is also made fairly easy.  The ferry to Playa del Carmen takes only about 45 minutes and leaves every hour on most days.  A one-way trip costs about $10.  Along the way, you can enjoy cold beer, snacks and often live music.  The ferry lands right next to Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue – the main tourist area – and to a taxi stand where you can get reasonable fares to many nearby locations. Direct flights from local airlines to nearby locations, such as Cancun and the beautiful colonial city of Merida, can also be found for very reasonable prices. While visiting all the beautiful areas on the Yucatan peninsula and other parts of the Mexico real estate region, it is certainly worthwhile, and will catch your interest, as you settle in Cozumel, you won't find that you're eager to get away anytime soon.  The beautiful nature, Mayan pyramid sites, the coral reef – which can be visited scuba diving – the oceanfront activities, such as snorkeling, sailing and fishing, will be enough to keep you busy, not to mention just relaxing on the beach, or in your dream home.
