Puerto Morelos, Q.R. — The Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) in Puerto Morelos have incorporated a new public registry. The new Public Registry platform will allow for the verification of legalized properties and strengthen secure operations in the state.
With support from AMPI Puerto Morelos, authorities seek to end fraud, irregular sales and uncertified real estate advisors around the state. On Wednesday, AMPI Puerto Morelos presented the Quintana Roo Real Estate System (SIQROO). The website use is promoted by the state government through the Public Registry of Property and Commerce with the direct support of AMPI agents.
The initiative, led by Mariann González Pliego Castillo, Director General of the Quintana Roo Public Registry of Property and Commerce, aims to provide legal certainty to real estate sales transactions, allowing citizens, developers and investors to check the legality of properties and their compliance with official guidelines established by authorities online prior to sales.
The Sistema Inmobiliario de Quintana Roo (SIQROO) will identify which properties are properly registered, which are suitable for sale and which agents or companies comply with state regulations and AMPI’s ethical standards.
The presentation was organized by AMPI Puerto Morelos, chaired by Mar García Méndez, who, along with Vice President Miriam Espinosa Pérez, reaffirmed the union’s commitment to advancing a more organized, professional and reliable market.
Keynote speakers at the Wednesday night event also included Architect Artemio Santos Santos, General Coordinator of Advisors to the State Government, Mr. Rolando Melo Novelo, Secretary of Urban Development of the municipality, Architect Ari Adler Brotman, General Director of IDEFÍN Quintana Roo and Juan García Asbun, President of the Leona Vicario Ejidal Commissariat
According to Pliego Castillo, fraud, piracy and real estate disorder are the greatest challenges they face. She said in municipalities like Tulum, Bacalar, more than 60 percent of real estate transactions are carried out outside the law without professional certification or legal support. These types of transactions have lead to fraud, double sales, land invasions and protracted legal disputes.
The urgency in incorporating a website like SIQROO lies in the critical context facing the sector. The state’s rapid growth has provided a breeding ground for so-called “advisors” without registration or technical training. These self-titled “advisors” offer land and properties with irregular or nonexistent documentation since they do not have training or access to the state’s property verification system.
She says the SIQROO seeks to put a stop to these practices by facilitating direct consultations on the status of each property and encouraging the participation of certified professionals. The launch of SIQROO not only modernizes the state’s registry processes, but also responds to an urgent need to organize, legalize and professionalize a sector that has operated informally for years.
AMPI Puerto Morelos said this alliance between the government and AMPI represents a turning point in the history of Quintana Roo real estate where for the first time, there will be a public and reliable digital database for all market players.
The participation of AMPI Puerto Morelos and the support of the Public Registry shape an effort that seeks to protect those who invest in Quintana Roo.
Earlier this month, 357 certified real estate agents around Quintana Roo were trained in the use of the Quintana Roo Real Estate System (SIQROO). These agents were trained in validating state property information through government websites that include the Territorial Management Platform managed by the State Geographic and Cadastral Institute, the Quintana Roo Real Estate System (SIQROO) and the Citizen Portal of the Public Registry of Property and Commerce, as well as the Territorial Logbook developed by Sedetus.
