Costa Maya Real Estate Agent Joins Top Mexico Real Estate Network
April 19th, 2010TOPMexicoRealEstate, a website and network of Mexico’s leading real estate agents and professionals, has recently joined forces with Rebecca Loto, an agent working in the Costa Maya Real Estate area, who has aready contributed to the Network’s recent Mexico Real Estate Guide. While Costa Maya is a relatively new market, the large-scale success of Cancun and Playa del Carmen in the north of the state, as well as significant advancements in the Tulum Real Estate area point to high potential for real estate in Costa Maya.
Costa Maya is located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, about an hour and half north of the boarder of Belize and Chetumal, the capital of the state of Quintana Roo, which is also home to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Tulum. While the area is currently not highly developed in terms of tourism infrastructure, this is expected to change over the next decade.
The success of the north of the state (Cancun, etc.) during the past couple of decades shows the draw that the Mexican Caribbean can hold for tourism and real estate buyers. While there is already one international airport nearby in Chetumal, the new international airport in Tulum is expected to “open up” the southern half of this state for more extensive tourism. Besides the major boost that this will give to the Tulum Real Estate market, it will also draw more attention to beautiful real estate opportunities in the Costa Maya area, where are large amount of tourism growth is expected.
Currently, Costa Maya is ideal for real estate buyers seeking a relaxing lifestyle on the beaches which have made the Caribbean coast famous.
“Everything is very laid back,” says Loto. “No traffic as there is only 1 road that runs along the beach. Great community feeling.”
The Mexican population welcomes the idea of foreign investors, as they have noticed the opportunities opened in the cities to the north. Currently, prices are still considerably lower than in the established real estate destinations. With growing attention on Costa Maya, new infrastructure such as international stores and more sports facilities will begin to appear (currently residents need to travel to Chetumal to take advantage of these conveniences) and this relaxing lifestyle will become continually more convenient. Nature-related sports are already a favorite directly in the area, such as scuba diving – Chinchorro Banks 28 miles away was named one of the best locations in the world by Jaques Cousteau – as well as kayaking, snorkeling, beach volleyball, running and swimming.
“Now there are more restaurants and bars,” observes Loto, “but a lot of socialising was and still is drinks and dinner at friend’s houses.”
Rebecca Loto herself has been living in Costa Maya for 6 years, where she had her own experiences in purchasing real estate and building a home, and decided to offer her professional services to other foreigners endeavoring in this new market. Her knowledge of the area, both in terms of lifestyle and real estate availability, her Honours B.A. in “Urban Development” (from her home country, the U.K.) and many years of working internationally allow her to offer international clients the highest level of service. Loto is also bilingual, and her friendly treatment of all people alike is both appealing to clients and allows her to get the “inside scoop” from the locals.
In the brief time since joining TOPMexicoRealEstate, Loto has already used her experience in the Costa Maya area to contribute to Top Mexico Real Estate Guide: Buying Safely, a guide outlining the basics the buying process in Mexico.
