Who can anyone recommend that is honest concerning real estate from Rosarita to Lorato?
For many months, my husband and I have looked for a home to buy from Rosarita to Loreta, which includes Mulege. We really like Mulege, but
planning to travel there very soon and concerned who to trust and who to watch out for! We have found many people playing games with what a real
price of real estate should be to what they propose to us. We have also found many properties that do not have a clear title, but also, have found
Steward Title company that should be able to solve that situation.
Our problem is simple, who are the people we can trust for leading us to purchase a home in the above area? We really believe we want a modest home
near or on the water that hopefully will be self contained. We see prices all over the place for homes. Any help or directions is certainly
appreciated.
Any suggestions? Who to trust? Who not to trust?
Thanks for all the help in the past and now, this web site is just GREAT! I have met so many wonderful people here, and thank my stars in doing so!

Can anyone recommend someone who is honest we might rely on to buy real estate ?
Can anyone recommend someone that is honest that can help us purchase a home in either Rosarita, Mulege, La Plaz or Nopolo?
We are having a tuff time with a lot of "run around" on real estate. Don't know who is telling us the truth and who is not! Most everything we seem
to be interested in we find out later, people seem to stretch the truth on price, or whatever the real value is or not!
I don't want to sound paranoid, but we are wanting to buy a home on the water, or in view of the water to live in a home we can afford and try to
put our trust and faith in someone that is honest to help us.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks >>>>

Real Estate Agents
I don't even know of an real estate agent I would trust in California much less Mexico. However, by posting your question here I am sure many of the
good people on this forum may have a friend or know of someone that wishes to sell their home. I also am looking for a home. Close to a good surfing
break, not crowded, no history of crime(Baja Malibu) and not to far off the beaten path.

Sea...Don't want to talk down to you, but the real estate 'game' much like here in the states (and then only becomes much more 'interesting') starts
with understanding the market and learning the 'rules'. Their are several good books that clearly articulate the rules in an objective fashion.
Understanding the market is the 2nd step and this, so says me, will only come from multiple visits and asking a lot of questions of near anyone that
will listen to you in the areas you have an interest. The 3rd step, finding a realitor (if you ultimately go this route), will generally be a
natural bi-product of step #2. One thing that I have noted, is that several of the realitors (no offense intended to others with a differing view)
is that they strike co-selling deals with the original seller based on increasing the price...
If you only take one piece of advice from someone related to your interests....Keeping asking everyone questions until a commonality of responses
obviates itself to you... Tim

Good ?. Are you talking Rosarito Beach? Santa Rosalia? That's some serious mileage.

Who can anyone recommend that is honest concerning real estate from Rosarita to Lorato?
Many thanks to all of the posts and help.
Let me explain several points we have already found out, if I may.
My husband is an engineer with over 4 decades of building major commerical sites. So, we have good knowledge on construction etc.
He is also a real estate appraiser, that came later in life when he decided to go back to college and gain more education. So, again, we can take a
piece of property and figure out within the boundries of Mexican land and come very close to what a property is really valued and what should be fair.
Yes, we already know, many people "strike deals" with owners of property and more games come into place.
Maybe what we should be asking, is there someone in or around the area of Mulege, that is forward and honest to guilde us into the area concerning
real estate.
Again, thanks so much for all the posts, your time in writing to us and the directions and education of knowledge you have shared with us.
It is so frustrating to just try to get a few straight answers, but we are trying.
I was always taught to be honest, guess that is just old fashion, but I am just an old fashioned lady. LOL
Any other suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Loreto Real Estate
I can't speak for anyone else, but I've been told that in Loreto, you need to talk with a Canadian called Alex of Alexander Real estate. He's handled
approx. 50+ realestate transactions since he's been down there, and several friends of mine have used him, and are very satisfied. Good luck in your
search.
