When you decide that you want to buy Yucatan real estate, there are some concrete steps you can take to help ensure success – success in finding the right property and enjoying a purchasing process free of unnecessary risk. The following are a few of those concrete steps.
Find Good Mexico MLS Listings
In all likelihood, you will be starting your search from back home. Finding good MLS listings for the Yucatan Peninsula is a great way to start things off. There is no universally recognized MLS system like in the U.S. or Canada, so you will need to find a broker who has gone to the effort to find, keep track of and research the many suitable properties available in Yucatan. The listings should be thorough with a reasonable number of properties for homes, condos and land for sale throughout this region. There should also be good pictures and possibly map locations for each property. The listings should be easy to sort and search.
Read Up on Yucatan
You’ve probably visited the Yucatan Peninsula, but if you’re like most visitors, you’ve probably only got a brief taste of the lifestyle offered here. There are beautiful cities and towns (colonial and beachfront), nice beaches, natural wonders (like the natural pools called “cenotes”), Mayan pyramids, old haciendas and much more. Reading about these items will help you plan your life in Yucatan and start getting excited about all the new activities you can do. Also, Yucatan is one of the safest states in Mexico, and is, in fact, safer than most parts of the U.S. Read up about it.
Contact a Qualified, Experienced Agent
One of your most important resources in all aspects of buying real estate and first establishing Yucatan as your new home will be your real estate agent. They will be able to suggest properties for your review before you arrive to Mexico; they will help arrange your visit and organize your property viewings. They will research information on the properties you take interest in. For this reason, it is important to research and choose a qualified and experienced agent that you feel comfortable with.
Explore all of Your Options
Explore different communities, consider your agents suggestions, and don’t write off any particular property, location or style without looking into it. Yucatan is an exciting place, and you don’t want to close the doors to finding the property ideal for your lifestyle, even if it wasn’t what you originally thought of.
Taking these steps, you will be on your way to enjoying life in Paradise in a property ideal for you!
