Riviera Maya, Q.R. — Over 4,000 people have been professionally accredited with real estate licenses in the state. On Monday, another 189 people received certificates that allows them to operate professionally in Quintana Roo.
Governor Mara Lezama said Monday that this marks a new chapter in the history of the development of the real estate industry, specifically in the Riviera Maya where growth continues unabated.
She reported that Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen) accounts for 41 percent of all real estate activity in the state of Quintana Roo. Real estate is the second largest economic generator after tourism.
“This is a step toward legality, trust and professionalism. Each license we issue guarantees that real estate transactions will be carried out by qualified, ethical men and women with a strong commitment to transparency,” the Governor stated.
Governor Lezama reiterated that the objective of this different way of governing is clear: we cannot continue doing the same thing if the results are not good.
She reported that in just three years, the first official registry of real estate advisors and condominium managers was established. To date, 4,400 people have been trained, a key factor in this major destination that accounts for 41 percent of all real estate activity in the state.
“Hence the importance of this professionalization and the delivery of 145 new registrations and 44 renewals. We have a Procedures and Services Management System where anyone from anywhere can check whether an advisor is registered and verify their registration immediately,” she explained.
Lezama said the registry reduces the risk of fraud and generates greater confidence in investing in the state, as people can know that work is carried out in compliance with the law and that growth is supported by well-being.
Mayor Estefanía Mercado emphasized that the issuance of these licenses represents a firm step toward professionalization, transparency, and certainty, which generates confidence in investments.
The head of the Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development (SEDETUS), José Alberto Alonso Ovando, reported that this event is part of the strategy to strengthen the legal and technical framework that regulates the provision of real estate services in the state, in compliance with the Law on the Provision of Real Estate Services of the State of Quintana Roo, updated during this new administration.
Alonso Ovando added that this is a decisive step toward consolidating a more transparent, professional and legally secure real estate sector, considering that it is the second largest economic generator after tourism.
