Simply because of the fact that you are buying in another country, it is important to make sure that you are receiving the best advice and information in a Playa del Carmen property purchase; this is especially true of Playa del Carmen land, since this branch of the market needs a more precise knowledge of market trends, development plans and availability.

While many good online sources for information are available, the best source for the most up-to-date advice and guidance on this exciting market will be a qualified, experienced and dedicated Mexico agent.

A knowledgeable real estate broker or agent will be able to provide you with information about:

Buying trends. Experience and active participation in a growing market like Playa del Carmen will allow an agent to know where people are buying, what kinds of properties they are buying, and how much they are spending.

Property values. When investing in land, it is important to know how much properties are selling for, and whether a lot is being offered for a good price or not. It is also important to compare the total cost of an investment project (construction, etc.) to the going values of completed properties. An experienced agent will have a fairly solid grasp on this information.

Value appreciation. Ongoing work with a large number of clients will allow an agent to have a good feel for property appreciation, and in what areas and for what property types values have been offering the best return to investors.

Property improvement. Knowing which architects, contractors, etc. to contact, what the going prices are for these kinds of services is very important when buying land. If an experienced agent does not have this information, they will know who does, and be able to point you in the right direction, to other clients who are satisfied with the work they have had done.

Suitable lots for various purposes. A lot which will bring return simply through appreciation is a completely different project from a lot which will bring return through development, or a lot to build a dream home for retirement. Again, an agent's experience will allow them to know generally in what areas buyers are seeing good results for each one, or where good signs are pointing to a promising future. Land for just about any purpose is available along the Riviera Maya, stretching almost an hour north and south of Playa del Carmen.

Buying safely. Perhaps most importantly, an qualified agent will know what documentation to look for and how to carry out a real estate transaction safely, protecting invested money. This is a point that can not always be taken for granted when buying in another country.
