What's inside the report

Seven things nobody tells you until you're already three weeks in.

Every one of these has cost someone real money. Not in theory. In real Baja transactions, by real American buyers, in the last twelve months. The report walks through each one in plain English: what it is, why it matters, and the question to ask before you sign anything.

  1. How Americans actually own coastal property

    The fideicomiso explained without the legal jargon. What it is, what it isn't, and why the alternatives are traps.

  2. The real cost of closing

    Closing costs in Mexico run 6 to 8 percent, not 2 percent. Here's the line-item breakdown so nothing surprises you.

  3. The one professional who matters most

    Why your notario público, not your agent, is the person who protects your title. And how to pick the right one.

  4. Ejido land and other deal-breakers

    The land categories that cannot be legally sold to foreigners, and how to spot them before you fall in love with the view.

  5. Why there is no Mexican Zillow

    How pricing actually works in a market with no MLS, and why your agent is your market data.

  6. What "as-is" really means here

    Inspections, disclosures, and the gap between US expectations and Mexican legal reality.

  7. The five questions to ask any agent

    If they can't answer all five clearly, without dodging, keep walking. The questions are in the report.

Who's behind this

An American living in Baja, here to educate, not sell.

I live in Baja California full-time, and I've spent years getting to know the coastal market from the inside. The goal of this report, and of everything else I do, is straightforward: help Americans understand what they're walking into before they buy property in Baja.

Here's what I want to be clear about: I don't sell real estate in Baja. I don't have listings. I'm not going to walk you through houses or pressure you toward a property. My role is simpler than that.

What I do is connect serious American buyers with vetted Mexican agents who actually know how to handle a clean, legal cross-border transaction. The agent on the other side does the selling. I make the introduction, and I stay out of your way.

If after reading the report you decide Baja isn't right for you, that's a good outcome too. Start with the report. We'll talk after you've read it.

How this works

  • Educational First The report is free, with no obligation to talk further

One more thing

Read the report before you talk to anyone.

Including me. Especially me. The buyers who do best down here are the ones who walk in knowing what they're looking at. That's the whole point of the report: to make sure you're one of them.
