  1. All these pieces assume all expats buy colonial villas or oceanside mansions. It never puts forward any functional information i.e. navigating incompetent – professional agents, closing costs, the purpose of legal representation, value of casa?, title search/insurance, home inspection? etc.etc.

    • Your point is well made, thank you Dan. I will discuss this with the team to help inform future topics. If you look in the Merida article, there are many details around the specifics you are interested in. But I will make this inquiry known to the editorial team as well. Thank you.

  2. The articles appear to have been written with more attention on pleasing the sponsors than helping the readers
    I used to be a SVP in the largest PR agency in the world so I have my own way of reading these articles…:)

  3. As usual the focus is on the centre and south of the country, with a wave towards BC. I have yet to see an article about property in Sonora, Chihuahua etc. Never any news or features. Time to quit my subscription, sorry.

  4. I agree with a couple of the posters, we don’t see much, if at all, on Sonora, or maybe what the true process is, what to look for when choosing a professional reputable agent, attorney/closing coordinator etc in the restricted zone especially. I am happy to assist with your article, offering input, I’ve been selling in Sonora (Puerto Penasco-Rocky Point for over 17 years), just ask, thanks
