Where do I start? Back in 2018, we were still living in Dallas, Texas, when we connected with Mitch by email. We made a list of properties to see on our "look-see" trip and met Mitch. He graciously took us to dinner and answered our tons of questions about owning property in Mérida. And he introduced us to Colm Cooney, who arranged our house visits and drove us around looking. Both of them listened to us to make sure what we looked at would meet our needs and expectations. When we found it, Colm basically "took care of everything" to make sure the transaction was done properly. He and Mitch even helped work with the architect to ensure the house renovation was properly finished, while we were back in the States getting ready for the move.We've become fast friends since 2018. And we trust them so much that we've engaged them to help us buy a couple of additional houses (as rentals). And when we were ready to find our next dream home, we turned to Colm to find it not to mention selling our old one.These guys have got to be some of the most knowledgeable, professional real estate agents in town — and they are great people, too. We wouldn't use anyone else. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, A++++++++

You’re lucky if you work with Colm as your agent! He’s Very knowledgeable about the market and the city. Not to mention how fun and pleasant he makes the experience of getting a new home. He helped me sell my old place and buy a new house in Merida. I’m very grateful for Mexico International helping me make every step of the process easy and enjoyable.

Robert is an exceptional agent! He does what he says he will do and always follows up when he is texted or emailed. Our purchase of our house in Merida went very smoothly, thanks to Robert and their team, including Mitch.

We met Robert Slaats while we were in the process of selecting an estate agent to sell our Merida house in the Centro. Even though we eventually listed exclusively with another agent, we had a very good impression of Robert. He showed a good and professional attitude, he looked knowledgeable of Merida’s house market and was helpful in asking questions that we had as sellers.

After owning a home in Merida for 15 years, my wife and I decided it was time to sell. We were torn between choosing a local agent to list it for, but decided on Mexico International. Upon looking through the photos and short bios of its many agents we went with Joel DeLeon and we are so glad we did. Joel is bilingual speaking both his native Spanish and English. Joel is the kindness person you'd ever want to represent you in an important, International sale. He pictured the house with a myriad of photos and a wonderful description. As we live in the US he kept in touch with us throughout the entire process by phone or through WhatsApp. When a deal was met we flew down to a seamless process where Joel was at the helm. Joel went above and beyond by driving us where we needed to go after the closing and did it with a smile. My wife and I always felt like we were in good, honest hands with Joel. He watched closely at the closing to make sure everything was correct and put our minds at ease. Joel is more than a real estate agent, he is a thoughtful friend who will look out for your best interests throughout the entire process. Although the sale was bitter sweet for us, Joel made sure we were happy in the end.

I feel we were SO lucky in choosing to work with team Ivan and Eric in finding our home. We came from Canada and at that point, we didn't know much Spanish or much about anything . My partner communicated with Eric on what's app and we met Ivan at all the locations. Ivan was lots of fun and easy going and helpful. Eric responds to What's app so fast I feel like he has some sort of mystical powers to bend time. We couldn't have had a better experience. They really made the experience enjoyable and relaxing. Even the folks that they recommended, all worked out well. We will use them again someday and will tell everyone.

I am a canadian who just recently purchased a house in Cholul. My partner and I worked with the dynamic duo of Eric and Ivan. They were both amazing and answered the many many questions we had. I would so highly recommend them. Eric gave us many suggestions on what and who we needed for workers, such as electricians and plumbers. He even gave us suggestions on where to buy appliances. Lol. Ivan was the traveling road show to all our viewings. They are both so knowledgeable and professional in all their dealings. We couldn't be happier with our purchase. If we ever buy or sell in Merida again, we will certainly be going back to mexican international again. Thank you, guys.

**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!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Shawn Ebrahimi! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make my journey of buying property in a foreign country seamless and stress-free. Shawn truly listened to my needs and preferences, presenting me with multiple options that checked all the right boxes. Each time we visited a property, he guided me through the pros and cons, ensuring I felt informed and confident in every decision.Navigating the complexities of buying property abroad for the first time was intimidating, but Shawn held my hand every step of the way. He not only explained the entire process but also took on tasks that I never expected, including signing on my behalf so I didn’t have to make another trip down to Mexico. His dedication and commitment went far beyond what I could have hoped for.What stands out most is that Shawn has become more than just a realtor—he’s become a friend. Even after the purchase, he continues to support me, offering advice and guidance as I embark on building my dream home. I’m so grateful to have worked with someone who genuinely cares and is invested in my journey. If you’re looking for a realtor who will treat your dream as their own, I highly recommend Shawn!"

I met Robert Slats from a recommendation from my previous agent (Keith Heitke) a year ago. At that time, I called Robert and mentioned I was planning to sell my house. He came to see the property the following day and answered all my questions. Decided not to sell at that time, called him a year later and again he came to my place the following day, looked at the house and answered all my questions. The house was put on sale and Robert was very patient, he replied to my calls, e-mails and WhatApps the same day. Some times, he needed to call the other agent, the layer or the notario and he always respond to me within one day with an answer. Robert Slats made the selling process of my property very smooth and relatively not stressful. If you want and efficient, knowledgeable and patient real state agent in Yucatan call Robert Slats. Thank you Robert for all your help selling my beautiful house in Merida.Jorge Nieto

Colm and Robert are the best agents to work with. Have bought / sold through them in Mexico several times and everything always goes smoothly. Highly recommended.

I bought my Condo, site unseen, 3 years ago when I was still in Canada. Robert was the listing agent. His professionalism, going the extra mile, made this international purchase a breeze . From the beginning, I felt at ease with Robert. The whole process, from a live video to closing, could not have been any easier. Thank you Robert and Mexican International for having such a great Team. I since have sold my Condo and of course Robert was my realtor.
