What is the best way to get a home in Tulum, Mexico? Well, there a lot of options, and, of course, personal tastes and needs has a plenty to do with it. However, from years of experience working with real estate buyers here, I've seen one solution that has worked incredibly well on a number of fronts:

Having your home built by professional construction project managers.

This approach has several advantages, including the following:

Low prices for lots - The market in Tulum favors buying land. Prices for lots in Tulum are very competitive, as you can see here. It is still a very small town, with and a good deal of land in the surrounding area has been prepared by development companies to have access to roads and modern utilities. Because of the large supply, lots are well priced and there is a good selection.

Excellent total cost comparison - While offering professional, modern service, the construction companies offer very good prices for the quality of homes given. If compared to a similar home bought complete, the total price is considerably lower. Of course, there is more price competition from nice condos (which are ever more numerous in Tulum) that implies a different lifestyle choice.

Hands-off approach - Several constructors offer a completely hands-off approach that covers everything from the blue-prints to putting the “Welcome” mat down, finding the best contractors for each stage of the process. This makes it easy to have a home built, knowing that you don't have to spend the time and money to be there on-site.

Custom design - The most significant part where the owner will participate is in choosing the initial design, and having it customized to their needs. These companies will be able to offer a range of design options as well as offer the changes necessary for the needs and tastes of each owner.

Easy tracking of project and expenses - One of the beauties of recent technology is that all information can be sent instantly. Builders in Tulum have begun to use this technology to offer online tracking of progress and expenses, with financial reports, pictures and even videos. Skype and similar programs allow the managers to have instant communication and show important items if unforeseen decisions need to be made for progress to continue.

Eco-friendly living - Since eco-living is so common in Tulum, several constructors will offer eco-friendly, sustainable and even entirely off-the-grid luxury homes.

Yes, other options are available, but from what I have seen, this is one that buyers are consistently satisfied with in all aspects of the result.
