Riviera Maya, Q.R. — Governor Mara Lezama participated in a ceremony Wednesday with the certification of real estate agents. On Wednesday, 181 real estate agents were officially certified by the state.
The certification qualifies them to legally buy, sell and advise on real estate matters in the state of Quintana Roo. Governor Lezama said that the certification of the real estate agents is not just a piece of paper, but rather represent certainty and confidence for those who invest their money. She emphasized that the certified agents guarantee that what people are buying is something that is legitimate.
“It’s important to me to provide the certificates to the registered agents because it’s a relief for us to know that we have more and more professional real estate advisors. We are going to spread the word so that anyone who truly wants to invest can put their money in the hands of someone who can truly help them,” she said Wednesday.
Lezama recognized their work, training and their preparation in becoming the best real estate professionals, while noting that this different government will continue working every day to combat corruption and with a commitment to legal certainty, the professionalization of the sector and orderly urban development.
During the event, Lezama was accompanied by the head of the Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Territorial Development (Sedetus), José Alberto Alonso Ovando, who explained that the certification is part of compliance with the Law on the Provision of Real Estate Services of the State of Quintana Roo.
During his speech, Alonso Ovando emphasized that this effort is part of a comprehensive regulatory strategy promoted by Governor Lezama, aligned with the New Agreement for the Well-being and Development of Quintana Roo, which seeks to build public trust and strengthen the attraction of investments to the state.
Through Sedetus (Secretaría de Desarrollo Territorial Urbano Sustentable), a state registry of real estate professionals has been consolidated with more than 1,500 licenses issued between September 2022 and April 2025. That is in addition to the more than 4,000 people trained in collaboration with the State Real Estate Council. These advances have significantly reduced registration costs, making the process more accessible and transparent for advisors.
“This step represents a concrete step to protecting the sector against malpractice while promoting legality and ensuring that those involved in the real estate industry are properly trained and certified,” said Alonso Ovando.
