Before you go any further there are some things you should 
consider before purchasing Real Estate in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose 
del Cabo, or The East Cape. The following are some points worth 
noting and tips you may find helpful on the road to your successful 
real estate transaction in Los Cabos, Mexico. Alarming as this may
sound to you, first of all, not all agents working in the Real 
Estate industry in Los Cabos are licensed. The truth is, there is 
currently no licensing body here in the Los Cabos area. There are
numerous agents from the United States or Canada that held either
a Broker or Salesman license in there perspective states or 
provinces. For most,this makes for a fantastic background when 
marketing real estate in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, the 
East Cape, Los Cabos.

In most cases these agents will not have forgotten the structure 
that is necessary for a smooth trouble free transaction. As a 
result of no licensing there are little or no repercussions for 
acts which are either illegal or unethical. Have your agent 
describe to you what a realtor does and why it is beneficial in 
dealing with him or her and their qualifications. They should 
explain to you who they represent, you and there knowledge or 
lack thereof on contract law.

Drawing an enforceable contract is an important duty your agent 
must perform. Though it may sound unfair, one should also have a 
decent grasp of the Spanish language. After all we are in Los 
Cabos, Mexico and that is the language of the land.   Hopefully 
they will go on to explain the fact that they understand they must 
offer full disclosure of all facts and offer confidentiality to to
there contacts. Ask them to describe law of agency to you, that is 
to establish who the agent is acting for, buyer or seller. Often 
there is a conflict of interest and often peoples best interest 
are sometimes secondary to the agent's wants and needs.

Buying real estate in Los Cabos does not have to be a stressful 
ordeal if you qualify the players along the way. I have been 
experiencing a learning curve for many years now and realize 
that the education must be ongoing. Let me assure you that I 
take this career of mine very seriously and am willing to 
change with the time.  I plan to keep up on current laws as well
continuing my education to offer a premium service to you, to 
the public.
