What is my property worth?
The 48 hours start when I receive your basic details. In that time I deliver a preliminary market analysis, with price ranges, comparing closed sales and asking prices apart. After a visit to the property, the price sits with the marketing strategy and the sale proposal.
How long will it take to sell?
The timeline comes from the price and from the buyer the property can serve. I tell you how liquid it is, using closed sales of similar properties.
What do you charge?
The average commission on this bay is between 6% and 8% of the sale price, commission + VAT. The agreed commission is set in writing before the property is listed. That range is commission + VAT and describes the bay’s market, not my rate. The percentage in your contract is the one that is written down.
What tax do I pay when I sell?
Income tax on the gain can apply. The notary calculates it and withholds it. The closing and tax strategy is set at positioning, to reduce, within the law, the tax on the sale. That is part of the service. Your notary and your accountant confirm the figure. It is not tax advice.
The property is in a fideicomiso. Can I sell it?
Yes, in the usual case. The bank takes part in the change of beneficiary. Ask your bank about timing and cost before you set a date. Your notary confirms it.
I live outside Mexico. Do I have to travel to sign?
It depends on the documents. That is decided in the review beforehand. In many cases you can sign without traveling, with a notarial power of attorney. The notary confirms whether your case qualifies.
What documents do I need?
I identify the legal documents of your property first. That file decides whether you need to be at the signing. What is usually requested: the deed, a lien certificate, proof that property tax, water, and condo fees are current, identification, and tax details. The notary confirms the list for your case.
Should I renovate before I sell?
Only what changes the first visit, or what a buyer will deduct. I tell you what is worth doing, and what is not, before you spend.
What if it does not sell?
A lack of activity is information. We look at progress every week. If there are no visits and no offers, we review price, preparation, and who we are reaching, and we decide on one concrete change. Waiting, or not selling, can also be the right call.
Do you work with Marina Towers? Does that affect my sale?
I am a sales advisor for Marina Towers with SB Realtors. If your property competes with that project, I say so from the start. The recommendation follows your goal.
Do I have to sign an exclusive listing?
The listing agreement I use asks for a minimum of six months. The aim is a sale on a short horizon, backed by those six months of contract.
