Jeff and Lara are renowned in the Los Cabos real estate community for their exceptional market knowledge and dedication to clients. They work with buyers seeking land, new developments, homes, condos, and commercial properties — and with sellers who want honest pricing and a buyer network that reaches North America directly.

A key advantage: because Jeff and Lara also manage vacation rentals across these same communities, they can advise on rental income potential, HOA quality, building management, and neighborhood character from direct operating experience — not just comparable sales.

They can identify reputable developers for new-construction buys, advise on property features that could impact future views, and present exclusive investment opportunities quickly — a product of their deep local network and full-time Cabo presence.

For buyers & investors

From first-time Cabo buyers to experienced investors adding to a portfolio.

Residential Condos & Homes

Condos in Tramonti, Copala at Quivira, Pedregal, Puerta Cabos, Palmilla, Las Mañanitas, and Vistana. Homes and estates across Cabo San Lucas and the corridor.

Luxury Properties

Resort-community inventory in Quivira, Palmilla, Chileno Bay, and Querencia — full access to the Los Cabos luxury segment with local context on which developments actually deliver.

Investment Properties

We identify properties with strong vacation rental potential — based on real occupancy data from the communities we manage — and advise on features that affect return.

Land & New Developments

Raw land, pre-construction condos, and developer projects across the corridor and both towns. We know which developers deliver on time and which to avoid.

For sellers

Los Cabos sellers benefit from an agent who understands both the buyer market and the rental income story.

Market Valuation

Pricing informed by live transaction data, rental income potential, community dynamics, and the practical differences that matter to Cabo buyers.

Buyer Network Access

Direct access to North American buyers — with a Houston, TX presence alongside the Cabo base — and a network of local and international agents.

Pre-Sale Preparation

We know what buyers inspect, what photographers need, and what repairs move the needle. Guidance on preparing a Cabo property for market from people who manage homes in the same communities.

Transaction Support

Licensed in both the US and Mexico. We guide clients through the full Mexican real estate process — fideicomiso (bank trust), notary, closing costs, and currency exchange.

Why work with Jeff & Lara

Licensed in the US & Mexico

Jeff and Lara hold real estate licenses in both countries — relevant for North American buyers who want a transaction partner who understands both legal systems.

Full-time Cabo residents

They live here and own property themselves. Advice on neighborhoods, developers, and ownership realities comes from direct personal experience — not marketing copy.

Rental + real estate combined

Because the same team manages vacation rentals in these communities, they have occupancy data, maintenance histories, and HOA knowledge that a pure sales agent rarely has.

US contact point

Houston, TX base alongside Cabo — useful for US-based buyers and sellers who need coordination across time zones and for wire transfers, title insurance, and US-side logistics.

Common questions about buying in Los Cabos

Can Americans buy property in Mexico?
Yes. Foreign nationals (including US citizens) can own property in Los Cabos through a fideicomiso — a bank trust that holds the title on the buyer's behalf. The process is well-established and legal. Jeff and Lara guide buyers through every step, including bank selection, notary, and closing.
What are the closing costs for buying in Los Cabos?
Typically 4–7% of the purchase price, covering notary fees, acquisition tax, appraisal, and registration. We provide a detailed cost breakdown before any offer is made.
What does a fideicomiso cost annually?
Annual bank trust fees are typically $500–$700 USD depending on the bank. Some developments include this in HOA fees. We advise on bank selection and fee structures as part of the buying process.
Can I rent out a property I buy?
Yes — and we can help assess which properties have strong rental potential before you buy, then manage the rental once you own it. This is a meaningful advantage of working with a team that operates on both sides.
Do you work with international buyers not based in the US?
Yes. While our US base is Houston, TX, we work with buyers from Canada, Europe, and Latin America. Most of the transaction can be handled remotely, with the final closing typically requiring one visit to Los Cabos.
