FEUDO® Group opened on the Riviera Maya, where pre-construction risk, ejido land history and the absence of any public listing database land in the same transaction. A method that resolves a purchase there carries into calmer markets without changing shape. The same method now runs in Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mérida, Ciudad de México and Baja California.
It holds up, or we tell you why it doesn't.
Why the Riviera Maya first
There is no public listing database anywhere in Mexico
Mexico has no MLS, no Zillow and no Redfin. No public record shows what is for sale, what sold, or what it sold for. A buyer working from portals is seeing a fraction of the inventory, priced by whoever posted it.
Pre-construction is the default product on the coast
A large share of what is offered on the Riviera Maya has not been built yet. The buyer is underwriting a developer and a delivery date, and the questions that decide the outcome are answered before the deposit, or never.
Land history decides whether title can be delivered
Ejido land converted to private property, incomplete regularization and long chains of title are common on the coast. Title is verified against the public registry and the municipality before a purchase is recommended.
Foreign buyers on the coast hold title through a bank trust
Property within 50 kilometers of the coastline sits in the restricted zone, where a foreign buyer holds title through a fideicomiso. The setup cost and the annual fee are part of the purchase arithmetic from the first meeting.
Coverage
FEUDO® Group works the buy side in Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mérida, Ciudad de México and Baja California, and continues to work the Riviera Maya, where the method was built. The sequence is identical in all of them: your criteria are written first, the market is screened against them, and every option that gets discarded arrives with the reason it was dropped.
Vertical residential, at metropolitan scale.
Guadalajara prices its premium vertical inventory by corridor, and two towers on the same avenue can behave like different markets. Analysis runs at the microzone level, corridor by corridor.
Premium residential alongside an industrial base.
Monterrey is where a residential purchase and an industrial site search often belong to the same client. The counter-offer patterns here respond to supply in a way coastal markets do not.
Colonial restoration and new development, in the same city.
Mérida sells restored colonial houses and new subdivisions to the same buyer profile, and the diligence differs completely between them. Chain of title on a centro property is its own body of work.
The deepest resale market in the country.
Ciudad de México has real depth of resale inventory, which makes comparables more useful here than anywhere else in Mexico. It also carries seismic and construction-permit questions that belong in the diligence, not after it.
Cross-border residential and industrial land.
Baja California is where the buyer is often US-based and the property is an hour from home. The coastal strip is restricted zone, so the bank trust applies here the same way it applies on the Caribbean side.
Coverage here means FEUDO® Group takes buyer-side engagements in these markets and runs the same documented process in each one.
How the method travels
The methodology does not change with the city. What changes is the local evidence each step is fed: the registry office that holds the title, the municipality that sets the acquisition tax, and the recorded transactions the microzone is measured against.
Reality Filter
What your capital can actually do. Budget, liquidity, timeline, and the real cost of entry.
Zone Intelligence
Where that capital survives, microzone by microzone, measured against recorded transactions.
Product Fit
The dismissal: every option that gets discarded carries a written reason.
Financial Architecture
The honesty gate: deal structure, fideicomiso, and the 6–15% the first full year costs once closing costs and the annual fees are both counted. If nothing clears, the answer is to wait.
Execution
One call, negotiation, close, and the discipline to walk away.
Who runs the work on the ground
FEUDO® Group works with allied professionals in each market
An allied professional is a licensed local operator who executes the field work in their own market: property access, verification at the registry and the municipality, and presence at inspections. They work to the FEUDO® Group filter, and the criteria that govern a shortlist are the client's.
The commission cap you see is the same either way
Whether or not an allied professional is on your file, FEUDO® Group caps its rate at the standard already built into the property price, about 5% nationally and about 6% in the Riviera Maya. Nothing is added to your side to pay for local execution, and at closing you receive proof of what was charged.
Your case stays with FEUDO® Group
The engagement is with FEUDO® Group, the written analysis is issued by FEUDO® Group, and the recommendation to buy, wait, negotiate or walk away comes from FEUDO® Group. What you receive at the end is that written analysis, under the FEUDO® Group name.
The source material
Six documents cover the questions that decide a purchase in Mexico. Each one is published in full on this site, with no form in front of it.

The call is with Vinny. Thirty minutes · USD 100, paid upfront and credited against the USD 300 that opens representation, and that in turn is credited against the commission at closing. He tells you on the call whether this is work we can take.
