The process of searching for and buying real estate at a distance has become much easier than in the past, and Mexico real estate is no exception; while it fairly common practice now to have listings on a website, a handful of companies have been going a step further to include specially designed mobile phone real estate sites for Mexico, and easily accessible information to guide new buyers through the process.
One site, TOPMexicoRealEstate.com, has created a site especially designed for use on iPhones, adapted to those screen dimensions and with a layout and options easy to use on a touchscreen. iPhone users can simply enter the site on their mobile phone and they will automatically enter a search page, from which they have access the thorough listings for many of Mexico's most popular real estate locations. The listings include a photo gallery, property details, a Google map to show location, and, when available, a video – all adapted to fit the iPhone screen.
Under each listing (in cities where the service is available from Google) is a Google Street View screen. Buyers can use this tool to take a self-guided "virtual tour" of the neighborhood, seeing what's around and what the over image is like. This can be done from the comfort of a living couch, or on lunch break at work, anywhere a buyer happens to be.
Since buying in another country can be a very different experience, with different laws and different business culture, this same site has released a special guide for those new to buying in Mexico, Top Mexico Real Estate Guide: Buying Safely.
This guide is designed to give new buyers the basics of what they need to know to protect their money when buying real estate in Mexico. In its question and answer format, it answers all of the main questions new buyers ask, supplementing this with questions they should ask, but often forget to ask. The guide is in PDF format, and can be downloaded from the TOPMexicoRealEstate.com website in about 2 minutes.
Buyers who wish to optimize their time spent in Mexico when they come to visit properties, and make sure they don't repeat others' unnecessary mistakes will take advantage of these resources to begin their property search from home.
