What we do
We advise on real estate decisions.
Showing a property is a fraction of the work. What you're engaging is the support to decide with complete information, and the record that it was decided that way.

What this is about
Renting or buying is among the most expensive decisions a person makes, and it's almost always made with less information than goes into choosing a car. Not because the information doesn't exist: because it's scattered between the owner, the building manager, the Public Registry and the notary, and nobody assembles it unless asked.
That's the work. Gathering what's scattered, reading what it says, translating it into concrete consequences — what you'll pay, what you can do in that unit, what happens if you leave early — and staying with you until the keys change hands.
The functions
Eight functions, in the order they happen. The first four take place before you ever see the property.
Takes on the property, confirms who has authority to offer it, and gathers the paperwork: deed, lien certificate, property tax, condominium regime and internal bylaws.
Checks what the listing says against what the paperwork says. Square metres, floors, year, maintenance fee, and what the bylaws allow on pets and short-term letting.
Establishes the range the property sits in today, using comparables from the same area and adjustments for floor, view, aspect and condition.
Photographs, films and writes the listing using data that can be substantiated. What can't be verified isn't published.
Comes with you and points out what's worth looking at: where the sun comes in, the noise at different hours, the state of the common areas. And whatever gives them pause.
Conveys the offers, explains what is negotiable and what isn't, and puts what's agreed in writing before the contract arrives.
Gathers both parties' documents, reviews clauses, terms, deposits and who pays what, and coordinates signing with the notary when it's a sale.
Takes the photographic inventory on handover day — the document that settles a deposit dispute months later — and remains your point of contact.
The standard
CONOCER — Mexico's National Council for Standardisation and Certification of Labour Competencies, part of the Ministry of Education — publishes the standards describing what someone in a trade must be able to do. The real estate advisory standard is EC0110.02, and it assesses the three stages of the work: taking on a property with its paperwork in order, marketing it with verifiable information, and closing the transaction alongside both parties.
We sat and passed that assessment. Our registration with the Quintana Roo Real Estate Advisors Registry, which the state's Real Estate Services Act requires in order to practise, is in progress.
We say it plainly because it's the truth: we're a young company, and we'd rather be known for what we can prove than for how long we've been around.
Where we stop
Knowing where our work ends is also part of serving you well. When a matter belongs to another professional we say so, and we'll gladly help you find them.
Next step
The first conversation isn't about showing you properties: it's about understanding what you need and telling you frankly whether we have anything that fits.
