How can I find a Real Estate Agent in Playa del Carmen?

If you're reading this, you're probably on the Internet.  One key to a successful relationship between a real estate agent and their client is that, in addition to representing your interests competently, they educate you about the process as it unfolds. So don't simply look for property on the web - look for an agent that informs you about the process.

Referrals are always a good way to go but being that you are new to the market, there is most likely not a lot to go on.  Asking the company for the names and phone numbers of real people, perhaps ones that live in your area, is a good way to go.  

You want an agent who knows the area in detail and has already previewed many of the homes/properties available for sale. Knowledge of the area should be important to you because you are not just buying a house, you are making an investment.

Just like New York's world famous 5th Avenue, the Riviera Maya also has a street of the same name, the very popular and wonderfully chic Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) in Playa del Carmen. Here you'll see hundreds of people strolling around the many boutiques, during the day and night, searching for that perfect souvenir in to take home for friends, family and coworkers.

All along the Quinta Avenida of Playa del Carmen and in the many towns of the Riviera Maya, you will find a huge selection of stores to satisfy any shopper. Small stores sell handmade hammocks by local artisans, colorful ceramics, tiny clay figurines depicting Mayan people, and the famous Mexican multicolored sarapes, just to mention a few of the handicrafts from this ancient region. Brand name stores are also found here.
Products sold in the hotels' stores come from all regions of Mexico. Whether inspired by nature or by the people's traditional dress, each item has the distinctive seal of its skilled Mexican artisan.

There are several shopping malls (mainly in Playa del Carmen), supermarkets, convenience stores, and also shops owned by local designers and artists that sell original, innovative items. The jewelry stores display beautiful silver and gold pieces inlaid with precious stones, so popular everywhere in the Riviera Maya. It's not surprising to find bracelets, earrings, and necklaces inlaid with fine amethysts, opals, onyx and turquoise, for which the Yucatan Peninsula is very famous.
