An Historic Day in Mexican Real Estate
John Glaab - CIPS
 Last year the Mexican Department of Education (SEP) recognized real estate as a profession. On August 27th, more than 400 Realtors in ten different cities across the nation will take an exam.
 Those who have registered have already met the necessary prerequisites. Passing the exam represents the next step towards receiving a Mexican real estate license. The exam will be given under the aegis of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI.) The exercise has been authorized by CENEVAL (The National Evaluation Center for Higher Education.) The test will recognize prior studies and experience and will cover all of the aspects needed to be recognized as a professional Realtor in Mexico.
 Jorge Aguilar President of the AMPI, Morelia Section made this observation, "In the future, when a Mexican licensed Realtor shows a property that is for sale, the buyer can have confidence that all documents, including the title are in order, and the other documents including proof against liens and taxes have been reviewed by a licensed Realtor and have a high level of confidence about making the purchase."
John Glaab has been a member of NAR's International Section for over a decade. He has earned the Certified International Property Specialist designation and is a founding member of AMPI Los Cabos.
