Maybe you’re buying a home for the first time. Or maybe you’re selling your old home to move up to something new or leaving the area. Whatever the reason, the buying and selling of a home is a big event. It’s an intricate process involving many specialists. One of these specialists is a REALTOR®, whose job it is to make the transfer of property as easy as possible.
The National Association of Realtor®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing, more than 1.3 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.
“NAR chose AMPI for this groundbreaking partnership, in large part because its members adhere to a strict Code of Ethics like that of NAR. AMPI’s high standards of practice will help increase the positive perceptions of Realtors® worldwide,” Vredevoogd Combs said.
The new relationship highlights the increasing level of business cooperation in real estate markets in both countries, as a growing number of United States citizens opt to acquire second and retirement homes in Mexico and residents of Mexico are buying property in the United States more frequently.
Mexico is attractive to second homebuyers from the United States, thanks to the availability of properties near the ocean and mountains, reasonable costs of resort properties, and lifestyle considerations. Thanks to a favorable legal and financial infrastructure, the No. 1 foreign destination for retirees from the United States is Mexico, with over 1 million Americans living there.
But not all licensed or registered Brokers or salespeople are REALTORS®. The term REALTOR® is a trademark identifying real estate licensees in Sonora Mexico who are members AMPI and NAR and of the San Carlos Mexico Association of REALTORS (SCMAR). OUR REALTORS® adhere to a strict NAR Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. The code of ethics is a firm set of rules, describing what kind of performance you have a right to expect from a AMPI SCMAR REALTOR®.
