An experienced Closing Agent is a key person in the real estate purchasing process. Hiring a good Closing Agent who understands the ins and outs of the Mexican legal system and the requirements of the law as it relates to foreign investment will make the real estate transaction go much smoother.

The closing agent should be involved in drawing up a promise contract and reviewing all documents including title, certificate of no encumbrances, and  permits. A closing agent can also order a complete title search before the transaction reaches the notary public, which will save the buyer valuable time and money should there be a problem with the title.

Every transfer of Mexico Real Estate property MUST, by law, be made before a Mexican notary public.

The Mexican notary public is required to have a degree in law.  He must have a minimum of five years of legal practice, pass a rigorous examination and then be appointed by the governor of the state in which he/she resides.   The notary is legally responsible for the review of the prior deed and the tax and lien certificates.  The notary must draft the new deed, calculate the Mexico Property Taxes due and pay them.  Also very important, the notary is accountable for his/her actions through the state and national notary associations.
