I am your local Michigan Real Estate Agent who can assist you in purchasing in Cozumel, Mexico!

Hola!

Have you ever wanted to buy a condo or house on the beautiful beaches of Cozumel or Playa del Carmen, Mexico, but did not know how to do it? My husband and I have been traveling to Cozumel for over 13 years and in 2019 we purchased our first condo (Casa Sandy). We were so nervous and did not completely understand the process. We actually bought it “site unseen”…crazy! Well now I am a certified Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist and I want to assist you in the process and match you with one of my partner agents to make your dreams come true. Call or text me at (517) 652-2511 to discuss your next vacation/retirement home! - Sandy

Q&A: Can a US Citizen own in Mexico? Yes, but a bank trust must be established.

Are there loans available? No, the purchase must be done with wired cash.

What are the fees when buying? The trust is approx. $600/year and the buyer pays the closing costs, unless negotiated otherwise.

Can I rent my home/condo when I am not there? Yes, Airbnb and VRBO are great options. You will need to get your residency card in order to pay your income taxes to the Mexican government.

How do I maintain it when I am not there? How do I furnish it? There are many professional property management companies on the island. The island offers shopping at the Mega, Coppel, Sam’s Club, Amazon Mexico, and Magic of Design Studio (see links below).

Do I need to know Spanish? While it is helpful, it is not required and most people on the island do speak English. Your smartphone may also be used with a translator app.

What is the exchange rate of USD to MX Peso? It is approx. 18 pesos to 1 USD. Currency Converter

What is the weather? Typically, highs around 88F and lows around 75F. It is tropical, so we do get rain. Weather.com
