7 Questions to Ask Any Real Estate Agency Before Hiring Them
- Do you have a valid AMPI certification? Ask for their member number. It's verifiable in the official directory.
- How many projects have you delivered in the last 5 years? A track record is the best guarantee.
- Do you work with Fideicomisos (bank trusts) for foreign buyers? This is essential if the buyer is not a Mexican citizen.
- Do you have access to the MLS Vallarta-Nayarit? This ensures you'll have access to all available properties.
- What is your commission, and who pays it? In Mexico, it's typically paid by the seller (3-5%). Confirm this in writing.
- Can you show me purchase agreements from sales you've closed? Reputable agencies have no problem sharing references.
- Do you have a bilingual team? This is crucial if any part of the process involves documents in English.
