As a newly arrived foreigner interested in investing in the Riviera Maya or Costa Maya, one of the first decisions you will have to make is the decision who to trust. Few incoming U.S. or Canadian citizens have personal or professional contacts within the local business community. As a result, they tend to rely on information that they hear from other newly arrived foreigners, who may or may not be accurate in their understanding of the law and its current application. The other most readily available source of information to foreigners in the real estate market is the real estate agent. Many real estate agents are highly ethical, experienced professionals. Others, sadly, are not. These agents have been known to provide inaccurate information just to make the sale.
Compounding the problem is that the law in Mexico is in a constant state of flux in response to national and international politics and policies, and particularly as a result of relationships with the United States. This can, and frequently does, affect the manner that the laws are applied to any group of foreign nationals. One also cannot fail to understand the crucially important historical context of the land ownership laws in Mexico. To see your land purchase transaction in a vacuum is to fail to understand the constantly changing policies that should be shaping your decision making process.
It is our responsibility at Folsom to educate our clients and to protect their investments as they venture into a new and very different culture, business environment, and system of laws - that can change very rapidly both in substance and in application. It is our mission to ensure that our client's transactions strictly comply with Mexican law and that our clients enter into Mexican contracts with a full and accurate understanding of the law that will control them, and its current application; rather than on rumor or common, street understanding.
