Takeaways + Tactics 

• Let buyers know the benefits: properties in Mexico have around 14% value-add every year, and rented out properties see 5-6% return on investments annually.
  
  
• It’s a good idea to have fluent Spanish-speakers on our teams. While most international luxury buyers can speak English, it’s always helpful to have a Spanish-speaking team member to assist with details and contracts.
  
  
• When it comes to transactions in Mexico, confidentiality is key. Instead of signs and advertisements, most sellers prefer to have their properties handled discreetly.
