Mexico Reaches Out to Raise Real Estate Standards for Buyers and Sellers

USA Real Estate Investors Look to Mexico as the Next Great Opportunity 

For the first time ever, the U.S. National Association of Realtors (NAR) is embarking on an international joint venture. The cooperative agreement with the agency’s Mexican counterpart, the Asociacion Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios (AMPI, or Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals) seeks to achieve greater uniformity in the U.S. and Mexico real estate industries.

Under the agreement, the two agencies will exchange business standards.

AMPI benefits by receiving NAR membership and permission to use the NAR logo and trademark. The union will assure customers that AMPI follows a U.S.-style code of ethics, plus the logo will help the Mexican agency seem familiar to Americans.

NAR members get something out of the deal, too, of course. They are eager to learn about real estate opportunities in Mexico from their peers at the AMPI. NAR recognizes that more and more Americans (and Mexicans living in the U.S.) are making the move to Mexico.

Mexico is particularly attractive to U.S. citizens because, in addition to its proximity, it offers a similar standard of living. All this while still being Mexico…a beautiful, tropical, inexpensive alternative to the U.S.

"With all the monies being invested from within the USA into Mexico by investors, companies, and more, this action will only benefit all parties" say Judi Shaw of Resorts Real Estate in Playa del Carmen."When USA investors feel that Mexico is now complying with USA standards, it makes the market even more secure and stable from a investors point of view and when buyers have more confidence, the value of the real estate market here in Mexico will naturally rise and that's just outstanding news for our area. NAR also wants to get in on the Mexican market, which it says is really growing for the first time. These factors all contribute to creating a primo real estate environment for all involved.
