AMPI <\/strong>is the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals.\u00c2\u00a0 Dedicated to raising professional standards and protecting private property rights, this organization was formed over 50 years ago and currently has a membership of over 1,000 companies and 10,000 professionals.\u00c2\u00a0 In the Puerto Vallarta real estate<\/a> region, there are three AMPI chapters, AMPI Vallarta, AMPI Riviera Nayarit and AMPI Compostela.\u00c2\u00a0 Currently there are no licensing requirements in place on a national level in order to regulate Mexico real estate<\/a> brokerage and sales.\u00c2\u00a0 AMPI however, does have significant requirements in order to be a member broker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Among them are:\u00c2\u00a0 one year experience working in real estate in the area, have a diploma from a certified AMPI course (100 hour minimum), show two commercial and one bank reference, proof of legal registration with the city and tax authority, two letters of recommendation by current members, take an AMPI test and orientation and be voted in by peers.\u00c2\u00a0 Additionally, foreigners are required to submit a diploma from a Spanish language course and immigration authorization in order to legally work in the country.\u00c2\u00a0 Associates are required to have valid work permit, a letter of reference from their broker, take a written AMPI exam and attend 40 hours of continuing education per year.\u00c2\u00a0 AMPI also requires members to follow a strict code of ethics that include articles such as:\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Knowledge of tax, legislation, improved use of land, planning and other real estate-related matters.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Keep abreast of conditions in the Puerto Vallarta real estate<\/a> market, because it is he or she who guides customers regarding the correct value of real estate, among other things.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Protect customers against fraud, abuse or immoral practices in the field of real estate.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Help prevent any acts that could harm the public, as well as any that could undermine the dignity of the real estate profession.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

AMPI also has an honors and justice committee set up in order to penalize members who breach the code of ethics.\u00c2\u00a0 Sanctions can include monetary penalties, temporary or permanent expulsion from the association.\u00c2\u00a0 AMPI members also have access to the local multiple listing service (MLS).\u00c2\u00a0 This modern and sophisticated searchable database currently has over 1,000 properties listed for sale.\u00c2\u00a0 Members receive a monthly printed catalog.<\/a><\/p>\n

In acknowledgment for the above the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has signed its first joint reciprocal membership agreement with a foreign real estate organization (AMPI).\u00c2\u00a0 Therefore, all AMPI members also belong to NAR, as well as the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA<\/a>), and the International Real Estate Association (FIABCI<\/a>).\u00c2\u00a0 So be thankful that your Real Estate Agent is in AMPI and good luck in your search.<\/p>\n
