The French version of Canada2Playa!!!


Canada2playa, set up in Quintana-Roo for years now, is expert of the Mexican real estate market. The office is located in Playa Del Carmen. The company has been listening, advising, supporting and accompanying clients for years in order to provide the best and the most adequate service. The clients were coming mostly from North America: from the United States and Canada.

Since a short time, the company longs for diversifying its market and to open itself to new horizons and new clients.  As the company is already dealing with the English-Canadian market, the logical suite was to take care of the French Canadian. Also, by developing the French-Canadian market, the company would like to kill two birds with the one stone by advising in the same time the French market. This development has been taken place through two main steps:

On the one hand, Canada2Playa.com integrated a new member into its team: Floriane Crickx. She is a native French speaker. She studied International Management at ICN Business School and also studied in different countries (France, United States, Italy, and Mexico).

On the other hand, the website of Canada2Playa.com was translated by our native speaker. Thus, every French-speaker, no matter the place where he lives, can check out our website in French. All the needed information about the Real Estate in the Riviera Maya, how to buy a house in Mexico, how to invest in Mexico when you are a foreigner, what laws are applied, what tricks to avoid, the lifestyle and all the activities are explained in detail in French and , of course, in English.

Finally, the company has to inform you that the sister-sites of Canada2Playa as American-Development.com and playabuilder.com are going to be also available in French pretty soon!
We heartily invite you to share this information, to check it out and to give us your feedback on https://www.facebook.com/Canada2Playa.LeahCampbell .

American Development's Blog!


The goal of this blog is to keep our customers, present and future, up to date on what is happening in Real Estate in the Riviera Maya.  The last few years have been pretty crazy in the Rivera Maya.  Tulum became its own municipality, a new International Airport was announced to service the Riviera Maya exclusively, and Playa del Carmen’s world record setting pace of growth (it has been the fastest growing city in Latin America for the last decade) slowed, then picked back up again.

“We have seen a real decrease in clients from the US thanks to the role that the US media is taking against Mexico, but seen a huge surge in clients from Brazil, Germany, Canada and other parts of Mexico that really make up for it” says sometime blogger and all time Real Estate Sales Associate  Leah Campbell.  “The market cooled off for a bit, then picked right back up.  That is the advantage of living in a place that is this International, there are so many things influencing the market that it has a life of its own.”


The blog, the leading developer in the Riviera Maya, www.american-development.com, along with its Real Estate arm, Canada 2 Playa www.candada2playa.com is a collaborative effort, with staff writers Floriane Crickx and Leah Campbell heading up the efforts, and guest bloggers coming in from time to time to keep it fresh.  “We have already had a number of past clients who said they would like to contribute.  We think that this will turn into something that will be almost communal” said marketing specialist Sugey Andrade.

The blog is set up in a way that allows you to go back to past postings and get caught up on the news, in case you have missed something.  So now you have no excuse not to be on the cusp of whatever is happening in the Riviera Maya.

Ejidos? Mexican lands!

Ejidos are a complicated part of Mexican history. An ejido is land which Mexicans are given the right to use for living and working (usually farming). The land cannot be sold, leased or transferred to anyone not an ejidatario. The permission to use the land can be transferred to other Mexicans, but not to non-Mexicans.

When ejidos were originally granted, they were placed in non-prime locations at the time, usually in places where the towns weren’t. Nowdays, you can find ejidos situated on beautiful and highly desirable beach locations. Non-Mexicans see these beautiful beach front properties being used by a few Mexican peasants and offers are made to purchase the property. Money changes hands and often homes are built by the non-Mexicans. Tough luck for these non-Mexicans who didn’t consult with a qualified and dependable Mexican real estate attorney about a title search and what is ejido land and who is eligible to own it.

All non-Mexicans who occupy ejido land are illegal trespassers on that land, because only Mexicans are allowed to use the ejido land. Before buying property in Mexico, make certain you are buying property which you can legally own.

Wine and Food and People.....Oh My!!

No rest for Riviera Maya!!
From the 15th to the18th of March a food festival will take place in Cancun. Its little name: The Riviera Maya Wine and Food Festival. 2012 is the first edition. The festival challenges the food of the entire American continent! Those countries have now the opportunity each year to rival for first place for the best culinary artist!!
2012´s world best culinary artist is Spanish chef Ferran Adrian. He will be the guest of honor for this first edition!! The festival lasts 4 days. Every day, competitions and special events are organized to determine which culinary chef is the best one! All the festival is sponsored by many famous companies canvassed beforehand.
Some packages with tours companies are even available if you want to enjoy more of the region. Just go on the website and you will have an overview.
The Wine and Food Festival does not want to be only another activity on your calendar. They also have the willingness to reach out and  participate in the life of the locals!! Indeed, they chose a worthy local charity (which has helped seriously with the youth in difficulty): the festival will grant scholarships so that the students will have access into the University. Nice initiative!
On the 18th of July 2012, another food festival takes place: The Taste of Playa in Playa Del Carmen. This festival was born in 2009 and aims to challenge the local chefs. Tourists and locals can admire the variety and the quality of the Mexican food. Every year local chefs have to be very exigent with themselves and need to be more innovative –but by still respecting the traditional characteristics-in their dishes to outstrip their competitors.
If you are around the city, be sure to make a stop there and satisfy your taste buds!! In case you need more information, www.canada2playa.com and www.american-development.com are here to help you out!

Affordable Beach Front Property


If you are looking for a place for investment in the Yucatan Peninsula, this might be just the deal for you...
It really is inexpensive to live in México, to have the best of both worlds, a relaxing beach getaway, exploring the “Cenotes”, the Mayan Ruins and the many other activities available in the Riviera Maya.

One of the last remaining secrets is the little fishing village of Mahahual. 

If you’ve always wanted to have a home right on the beach, somewhere to get away from it all, this could be the place for you. 
Did you know that NAFTA allows both Americans and Canadians to own property outright in Mexico?  This is just the right time to buy.
How does a 82 feet of Caribbean Beach , 295 feet deep 1/2 acre of total area. Price: 140,000 USD sound?
This deal is priced below market value and won't last long.  Contact us today for details....
