Dear Friend,

If you’re reading this, you’re probably pretty successful at what you do.

You’ve built something. Made smart decisions. You don’t usually get paralyzed by big purchases or investments.

But here you are, maybe for the second or third year, still “looking” at Los Cabos real estate. Still bookmarking listings. Still telling your spouse “we should really get serious about this” while secretly feeling like you’re drowning in information that doesn’t actually help you make a decision.

Here’s what’s really going on…

The Problem Isn’t What You Think

You think the problem is finding the right property. It’s not.

You think the problem is getting a good deal. It’s not that either.

The real problem is that there's no systematic approach designed for
serious buyers like you - just a chaotic market built for casual browsers.

Think about it. Back home, when you make a major business decision or investment, you have systems. You have trusted advisors. You have a process that gives you confidence.

But here, you’re clicking through pretty photos on websites that don’t even tell you the HOA fees. You’re getting bombarded by agents who want to show you 47 properties this weekend.

You’re trying to figure out what a “fideicomiso” is from Google searches at 11 PM, wondering why something this critical to your financial future is so hard to get a straight answer about.

You find yourself second-guessing every piece of advice because you’ve heard three different “experts” give you three different answers to the same question.

You’re reading horror stories online about buyers who thought they were making smart investments, only to discover hidden costs, legal complications, or properties that don’t perform as promised.

For the first time in years, you’re making a major financial decision while feeling like you don’t have all the information you need to protect yourself.

No wonder you feel stuck…

What Successful Cabo Buyers
Actually Do Differently

The buyers who break through this chaos and actually end up with properties they love don’t have some secret insider knowledge.

They follow a completely different approach.

Instead of trying to navigate the confusion on their own, they start with a systematic process that eliminates the guesswork before they ever look at a single property.

They don’t start by looking at properties.

They start by answering five essential questions that most people never even think to ask. These questions create a filter that turns the chaos of “looking at everything” into the clarity of “knowing exactly what I want and why.”

Here’s what I mean…

01

What's your true Los Cabos lifestyle vision?

Not "I want a nice place by the beach." But really - how do you actually want to spend your time here? Are you the type who wants to walk to restaurants, or do you prefer total privacy? Do you want to be where the action is, or do you want your own slice of paradise?

What's your complete investment budget?

Not just the purchase price. The real number that includes closing costs, furnishing, ongoing expenses, everything. Because getting surprised by an extra $50K in costs you didn't know about isn't fun for anyone.

03

Which location actually matches your goals?

Los Cabos isn't just "Los Cabos." Palmilla feels completely different from downtown Cabo. Pedregal has a different vibe than the Corridor. Most people pick a location based on one pretty photo instead of understanding what each area is actually like.

What's the primary purpose of this property?

Personal use? Investment? A bit of both? This changes everything about what you should buy and where. But most people try to optimize for everything and end up with something that doesn't really work for anything.

Are you actually ready to move forward?

Not "someday when the market is perfect." But are you ready to make a decision in the next few months if we find the right property? Because if you're not, that's fine - but it changes how we should approach this whole thing.

Here's Why These Questions
Change Everything

When you have clear answers to these five questions, something magical happens. You stop being overwhelmed by options and start being able to quickly identify what fits and what doesn’t.

You also stop feeling like a tourist who might get taken advantage of, and start feeling like an informed buyer who knows what they want.

But here’s the thing - Answering these questions properly isn’t something you can do in your head while scrolling through listings. It takes a real conversation with someone who understands both the market and how to help you think through the implications of each answer.

The Complete System:
How This Actually Works

Those five questions are just the foundation. What successful Cabo buyers really do is follow a complete system that I call The Cabo Clarity Blueprint. It’s got five steps, and each one builds on the last.

You Get Strategic Clarity

We work through the five essential questions together in a real strategy session. You walk away with a written Personalized Property Acquisition Plan that becomes your filter for every decision moving forward.

You Get the Knowledge You Need

You'll understand the Mexican purchase process, from the fideicomiso to closing costs, well enough to feel confident, not confused. You get real answers from an expert, not from an outdated blog post.

You See Only Properties That Make Sense

Instead of looking at everything, you get a curated portfolio of 3-5 properties that actually match your plan. You're not browsing the market anymore; you’re reviewing your top options.

You Make Your Decision in Person

When you come to Cabo, you’re not starting your search; you’re finishing it. You'll tour the vetted finalists from your managed portfolio, choosing between several great options.

You Get Professional Execution

Once you decide, a team of bilingual attorneys, escrow officers, and other professionals handles the details while you focus on being excited about your new property.

What This Really Means for You

Look, I know you’re successful because you make smart decisions and you don’t waste time on things that don’t work.

This system works because it treats you like the intelligent buyer you are, not like someone who just wants to see pretty properties.

You get to stop feeling like you’re fumbling around in the dark and start feeling like you’re following a logical process that makes sense.

You get to stop worrying about making some expensive mistake and start focusing on which of several good options is the best fit.

And you get to stop spending your valuable time and mental energy on research that doesn’t actually move you forward.

How We Work Together

Here’s how this works practically.

The commission for representing you gets paid by the seller at closing - that’s standard in Los Cabos real estate. You’re not writing me a check.

But you are making a choice about where that commission goes. You can direct it toward an agent who just opens doors and hopes you figure everything else out yourself. Or you can direct it toward someone who’s going to implement this entire system with you.

Think of it like choosing your attorney or your accountant. You want someone who’s going to protect your interests and help you make intelligent decisions, not just someone who’s technically qualified to do the paperwork.

The only investment I need from you is your commitment to actually following the process. Because if you just want someone to show you random properties this weekend, I’m not your guy. But if you want to approach this like the smart investment decision it actually is, then we should talk.

Getting Started

The first step is what I call the Acquisition Strategy Session. It’s that 60-minute conversation where we work through the five essential questions and create your Personalized Property Acquisition Plan.

This isn’t a sales call where I try to talk you into something. It’s a strategy session where we figure out what you actually want and the best way to get it.

If you want to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress, just book a time that works for you. We’ll have that conversation, you’ll get your plan, and then you can decide if you want to move forward with the rest of the process.

The worst thing that happens is you get more clarity about what you want than you’ve had in months of research. The best thing that happens is you end up with a property you love and a process that actually made sense.


One Last Thing

You wouldn’t invest in a business without proper due diligence. You wouldn’t hire a key employee without a real interview process.

So why would you buy property in a foreign country without a real strategy?

The cost of continuing to “research” without a system isn’t just the time you’re wasting. It’s the opportunity cost of not having your place in Cabo while you’re still young enough to really enjoy it.

But that’s up to you.

P.S. - The people who keep “thinking about it” for years usually aren’t really thinking. They’re just stuck. If you’re ready to get unstuck, book that strategy session. If you’re not, that’s fine too - but at least be honest with yourself about it.
