Riviera Maya · Quintana Roo
The people behind a Riviera Maya purchase
Agencies, developers, notarios, lawyers and lenders across the corridor: how many there are, where they operate, and what their public reviews say.
A property purchase in the corridor runs through many hands: an agent, often a developer, a notario, a lawyer, sometimes a lender, a property manager and a currency exchange. Riviera Audit tracks 1,464 of these businesses across 13 categories. 80% have public ratings; only 200 have 50 or more reviews, which is the point where an average starts to mean something.

Ratings are a starting point
Only 0 of 1,464 businesses are flagged as members of AMPI, the Mexican real estate professionals’ association. Membership is not required to sell property in Quintana Roo, so most of the market operates without it. Shortlist on reviews, then check licences, written commission terms and references before you sign anything.
