How can I be sure of not being a victim of fraud when looking to buy property in Mexico?
Unfortunately, Mexico is still working in the required laws to give a higher certain to the buyers, specially in implementing the real estate License that has been implemented already in some states, but hasn’t implemented yet in the Sinaloa state. Mean while the only practical way to be sure you’re not a victim of a fraud is to go to a true real estate professional, that has a well established business that allows to locate him, a brand that backs him up, and that belongs to the highest reputation real estate professional organism in the zone. If the agent does not belongs to these organisms is possible that he/she wasn’t admitted or has been expelled because of improper or un ethical behavior, so we recommend to ask reports on this agent in this organizations.
