Buying Process in Mexico
A transparent, safe, and professional guide tailored specifically for Canadians and international buyers looking to invest or retire in Mexico.
Step-by-Step Buying Process
Here is how we guide you securely through the transaction process from start to finish.
Offer & Reserve
Once you find the ideal property, a reservation agreement is signed, and a deposit is made (typically $5,000 USD) to take the property off the market.
Promissory Agreement
A binding Purchase & Sale Agreement (Promesa de Compraventa) is drafted. It details the payment terms, schedule, and obligations of both parties.
The Fideicomiso (Bank Trust)
As an international buyer near the coast or border (Restricted Zone), ownership is secured via a Fideicomiso. A Mexican bank acts as trustee, holding title for your sole benefit.
Closing & Title Transfer
Finalized before a Mexican Notary Public (Notario Público). Payments are completed, deeds are signed, and registration in the Public Registry begins.
