Advantages of Buying a Property Through a Real Estate Agency

Interested in investing in a condo or house in the Riviera Maya? In this article, we explain why it is better to buy through a Real Estate Advisor rather than directly from the developer. 

Most first-time buyers think that going directly to the developer will get them a better price because they will save on the agent's commission, but that is a misconception: every development has its own sales team, and even if you go directly to them, a commission will be paid to the in-house agent. 

You will quickly notice that every in-house agent works in the developer's interest. They will always tell you their projects are better than the competition and list all the advantages of buying with them, but never the disadvantages, which makes your buying decision harder. Once a development's in-house agent closes the sale, they will rarely support you with the next steps, such as furnishing the condo, the legal side, showing you around the area, recommending a property management company, referring your property to their contacts for rentals, and so on.  

A Real Estate Agent, on the other hand, has one sole purpose: to look after their client and make sure they make the best real estate investment. That gives you the confidence of making the right choice, because a Real Estate Advisor has a selection of projects already vetted for their legal standing, location, materials, size, price and other factors that ensure a property's appreciation. Based on all their market and area knowledge, they will give you an objective point of view and clearly explain the pros and cons of each development you are interested in, since for a Real Estate Advisor it makes no difference whether you buy in development A or B. Moreover, a real estate professional committed to their clients will support you with every step after the purchase: helping you choose the notary, explaining the entire closing process, and giving you tips and recommendations for furnishing and managing your property, among other things, so that real estate investors are 100% satisfied and can recommend their work to their contacts.
