**Disclaimer:** This review is dedicated to Robert Slaats, my realtor extraordinaire, but it also serves as a delightful glimpse into the world of Mexico International Real Estate.Now, I usually lean toward brevity in reviews—yet here I am, tapping away with gusto. So, for those who prefer the highlights over the lengthy prose, here’s the quick rundown: Robert Slaats: High-energy dynamo, flexible, refreshingly direct (he’s Dutch, after all), hilariously witty, and a master problem-solver. Mexico International Real Estate: A venerable institution in Merida, a team that plays beautifully together, with the owner rolling up his sleeves when required, financially savvy, and well-versed in the art of navigating these transactions.Now, for the juicy details... Robert guided me through the labyrinth of purchasing a property in a quaint village just outside Merida. We encountered our fair share of quirky challenges—a deal structure that could only be described as nuanced since the property was held by a corporation, a seller's agent abroad on holiday, and Robert himself teetering on the edge of nuptial bliss. Yet, through it all, he remained the epitome of calm and collected. Not once did he show signs of fatigue as I bombarded him with questions. And let me tell you, this man is committed! He could have easily passed the baton to another agent while he frolicked off to his wedding and honeymoon, but no—he chose to communicate just a day after tying the knot, all while basking in the allure of Japan. Reflecting on this, I realized that what I truly valued was Robert’s directness; he doesn’t mince words, delivering clarity whether it’s the news you want to hear or the truth you need. A few additional notes about my delightful experience with Mexico International Real Estate: The seller's agent, Colm Cooney (a fellow member of the Mexico International crew), was on a safari in Africa during our negotiations. To keep the wheels turning, Robert expertly juggled his schedule to bridge the 8-hour time difference, while Colm graciously made himself available despite his vacation. Lastly, the ever-dedicated owner and founder, Mitch Keenan, personally stepped in to ensure my funds were as mobile as I was, even making a bank visit to smooth out any potential hiccups. A hearty thank you to everyone involved! In conclusion: If you're looking to navigate the Merida real estate market with confidence and ease, then Robert is your man. Backed by an experienced and cohesive team, I would—and will—do this all over again in a heartbeat!
