Buying Real Estate in Baja California Sur ? Flex MLS ? Amistad …
In La Paz alone there are dozens of Real Estate agencies and hundreds of people willing to point you in the ?right? direction when it comes to buying Real Estate here in La Paz, and many more if your net is cast wider across the south Baja.
Those of you from the USA will know of a widely used tool amongst those professionals in the Real Estate trade.? This tool is called MLS, or in long, Multiple Listing Service.? Basically it is a platform where Realtors, those registered to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).? The Mexican equivalent of this group is AMPI ? Asociaci?n Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios (Association of Mexican Real Estate Professionals), and as with national real estate associations in other countries around the world, they are very well connected with NAR.
Some of the benefits of NAR are that they allow members to use the term Realtor, which is a copyright term for use only by members, and secondly is the use of its MLS system.
Most of those who have visited Baja California Sur previously or know anything about the area will understand that Los Cabos is the destination for the majority of travelers who visit our beautiful state however those of you who have spent a little more time here will have seen how quickly La Paz is also developing, boosted by its status as Capital of the state and its fantastic beaches and unspoiled Mexican city feel.
Los Cabos and the areas surrounding this development city have made use of the MLS tool for a number of years and currently have almost 2,000 properties and lots listed through the system as for sale, and many more if you include the recently sold properties.? It has taken a little longer in La Paz however members of the AMPI group, which includes the majority of the full time real estate professionals in the city, are in the process of building this tool to be in a similar stature as to that of our neighboring city.
Currently 155 lots and properties are listed on the La Paz MLS which can be viewed by any client of an AMPI member across the whole of Baja California Sur.? Using this tool can help save you having to trawl through many different websites, you simply type in the details of your dream home and out comes a selection of properties for sale by reputable realtors in the area.
There are many benefits for the use of this tool for those looking to sell their home too.? Firstly it means all the Realtors in the area automatically know that your home is now for sale, meaning any interested clients are likely to get an email about it very shortly after posting, but there are also other benefits such as being able to see how much the homes nearby are selling for helping you and your Realtor to accurately price your home in the market.
Whether you are interested in buying or selling in the area, or simply want to hear more about the platform and how it could help you in the future, please stop on by the office or drop me an email and I would be more than happy to show you how it works.
