Cancún, Mexico — Karen Ramos Díaz, president of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) in Cancún, has issued a warning to prospective buyers about the risks of purchasing irregular or unserviced properties.

Protecting Buyers from Risky Transactions

AMPI offers specialized certification programs and courses to keep agents updated on regulatory changes and legal requirements in the real estate sector. Currently, the association has 1,700 certified agents, with ongoing training initiatives to enhance their expertise and provide reliable service to investors.

Ramos Díaz acknowledged efforts by federal, state, and local authorities to curb illegal land sales and improve regulatory frameworks. She highlighted Quintana Roo’s leading position in the real estate market due to its high volume of development projects.

The AMPI president’s remarks come as part of a broader push to promote transparency and legal compliance in Cancún’s booming property market.
