For Mexican Real Estate AssociationsFor Mexican Real Estate AssociationsWelcome · AMPI National · AMPI Sections · Regional MLS Systems · State Councils
RealtyHive is a global real estate marketplace operating in 100+ countries. We put your members' listings in front of the international buyers at no cost to them or to your association. There is no cost for leads or referral fees. Agents shouldn't have to pay to connect with a client.
We partner with associations because, in Mexico, where no federal license exists, your certification is the trust signal. We built our marketplace so that the signal is never stripped away.
The agent your association certified stays the agent. Always.
A pan-Mexico observation
We follow Mexican real estate closely. The frustrations surfacing in AMPI section meetings, broker forums, and conversations with firms across the country rhyme - Los Cabos, Vallarta, Cancún, CDMX, Mérida. These aren't local problems. They're the same problem, everywhere.
Mexico has no national MLS. Strong regional systems exist, built by your own sections, but national inventory lives scattered across portals, agency websites and social posts. The same property appears at three prices on four platforms. Ghost listings and bait listings erode the very trust your code of ethics was written to protect.
Duplicated & outdated listings: the #1 complaint of foreign buyers researching Mexico onlineThe two largest national portals now sit under common foreign ownership, a structure with pricing power over your members and, as the industry saw when a major CRM's feed access was cut off, the power to change the rules unilaterally. Fees rise faster than commissions, and the portal owns the buyer relationship. Not the agent.
One owner now controls the top of the funnel in most Mexican metrosIn a country with no federal real estate license, your certification including the ethics code, the 100 hours of education, the CONOCER standard, is what separates a professional from an opportunist. Yet on most platforms, that professional is replaced by a contact form that routes to whoever pays. Leads are sold, resold, or split.
The opposite of what 70 years of AMPI standards ask of themMexico is the #1 country on earth for American and Canadian second-home buyers. Over a million Americans already live here. But reaching them means foreign ad accounts, English-language SEO, and platforms your members don't control, in a language many leads arrive in. The demand exists. The pipeline to it has never lived in one place.
International buyers: 42%+ of luxury transactions in the top resort markets, 2025We see you
Below: the markets where international and cross-country demand concentrates, the organizations that anchor each one, and one specific fact about how buyer flows are moving right now. Find yours.
Baja California Sur · Pacific CoastA mature, broker-cooperative market with its own MLS, and Mexico's most dollarized. Predominantly cash transactions; an estimated quarter of sales happen off-MLS in branded communities.
≈60% of 2025 sales went to U.S. buyers · total volume approaching $2B/yr
Baja California Sur · Pacific CoastThe spillover frontier from Los Cabos. Land buyers from prior years are now building, and East Cape is the fastest-growing submarket in Baja Sur, with early-stage buyers arriving ahead of infrastructure.
U.S. & Canadian buyers following the Cabo corridor north
Jalisco / Nayarit · Pacific CoastThree cooperating AMPI sections sharing one MLS, the model the rest of the country watches. Ground zero of the post-1993 fideicomiso boom; deep U.S., Canadian, and LGBTQ+ buyer communities.
Among the top 3 expat concentrations in Mexico; strong Canadian winter demand
Sinaloa · Pacific CoastThe Pacific's value play: a working Mexican city with a malecón renaissance. Canadian snowbirds are the signature buyer; direct flights from western Canada feed the pipeline every winter.
Canada is the #2 foreign buyer nationally, concentrated here and in Vallarta
Baja California · Border RegionCross-border living, literally: buyers who keep San Diego jobs and Pacific-coast addresses. Price-driven U.S. demand that never stopped, plus a growing remote-work cohort.
Driven by Southern California cost displacement, a structural, not cyclical, flow
Quintana Roo · CaribbeanMexico's highest-velocity international market. The Maya Train and Tulum's international airport rewired access; pre-construction condos dominate inventory and rental-yield buyers dominate demand.
International buyers: 42%+ of luxury transactions in the top resort corridor, 2025
Yucatán · SoutheastConsistently rated Mexico's safest large city, and that is precisely the pitch. U.S., Canadian, and European buyers in the centro; a parallel wave of domestic migration from Mexico City reshaping the suburbs.
Twin demand: international lifestyle buyers + Mexico City families relocating for safety & cost
Guanajuato · BajíoThe second-largest expat concentration in the country and arguably its most international small market - U.S. retirees, art-economy buyers, and a colonial inventory that markets itself worldwide.
Routinely named the world's best small city by international travel press, demand follows
Jalisco · InteriorThe largest American and Canadian retiree community in Mexico: a 50-year-old expat infrastructure of healthcare, services, and word-of-mouth referral that continually replenishes itself.
15,000+ primarily U.S./Canadian retirees, the deepest expat market in the country
Mexico City · MetroRoma, Condesa, Polanco: the remote-work era turned the capital into an international residential market. Foreign buyers reportedly claimed as much as 40% of sales in favored districts at the 2022 peak, and the flow continues.
U.S. digital nomads + returning Mexican-Americans + LatAm capital, one market
Querétaro / Nuevo León · Bajío & NorthThe nearshoring corridor. Industrial relocation is pulling executive housing demand, foreign managers, returning nationals, and domestic migration to Mexico's two strongest job markets.
Nearshoring made these the fastest-appreciating non-resort metros in the country
Nationwide · The Paisano CorridorNearly 38 million people of Mexican origin live in the United States, and they sent home ~$65 billion in 2024, the world's second-largest remittance flow. Remittance-receiving households are measurably more likely to own homes, and programs like Tu Vivienda en México let paisanos buy from abroad. This buyer searches in English, pays from the U.S., and closes in their home state.

Why this lands with you specifically
AMPI was founded to raise the technical and ethical standards of Mexican real estate decades before any state wrote a registry law. In a country with no federal license, the code of ethics, 100 hours of continuing education, and CONOCER-accredited certification are the standard. You advocated. You trained. You certified. We built RealtyHive on the same principles you've been defending all along.
Six things we offer your members
The shortest way to describe RealtyHive: everything an international portal should have been before platform economics took over. Distribution at scale. The listing agent kept whole. No charge for either.
We connect to your members' existing data through Flexmls and regional MLS feeds, XML, CRM exports, or their own websites. Properties syndicate automatically to buyers in 100+ countries. No setup cost, no monthly fee, no per-property charge.
Your member's name and contact details appear on every listing, in every country it's shown. Buyer inquiries route directly to them. We never sell leads, never charge per lead, never take referral commissions. Ever.
Every association member receives free Video+ credits, AI-generated cinematic property videos, and Ignite advertising credit to launch their first targeted campaign. The tools that their largest competitors pay for are included as part of joining.
Listings load in Spanish and surface to buyers in English, French, German, and beyond, without your members managing translations, foreign ad accounts, or multi-country SEO. The American searching "homes for sale in Mérida" finds your member's listing, not a lead reseller's.
Fideicomiso, the notario's role, the restricted zone, ejido due diligence, international buyers are hungry for exactly the knowledge your members hold. We turn that expertise into globally distributed content, attributed to them. Buyers arrive informed and pre-sold on working with a certified professional.
We work within Mexico's framework: LFPIORPI anti-money-laundering obligations, state-level registry laws (Jalisco, Quintana Roo, BCS, and equivalents), restricted-zone realities, and your own code of ethics. The professional identity your association certified is surfaced end-to-end, never stripped.
For the association
Members increasingly join and renew for tangible benefits. We give you one that's immediately deployable: free international listing distribution, free marketing credits, full lead ownership. At no cost to anyone.
We work within your professional framework, your code of ethics, your certification requirements, and your section autonomy. The agent your section certified stays the agent. The legitimacy you verify is the legitimacy we showcase.
Your members' listings reach buyers in 100+ countries, including the 38 million people of Mexican origin in the U.S. And, when your members' clients buy abroad, the same network works in reverse.
"When your members succeed internationally, their association is what they credit."
— HOW WE THINK ABOUT THE ALLIANCEOptional tools for members
Once members are syndicating, four optional marketing programs are available. These are paid tools, but every member starts with complimentary credits. This is how we earn revenue: from members who choose to use them. Never from leads, lead fees, or commission splits.
AI-powered cinematic property videos, built from listing photos in minutes for Instagram, TikTok, and the WhatsApp statuses where Mexican real estate actually moves.
✦ Every association member firm receives 5 complimentary Video+ credits.
A do-it-yourself ad platform that puts agents in the driver's seat. Choose a listing, set your budget, decide how long you want the campaign to run, and launch, all in under 3 minutes.
✦ Every member who claims their listings receives $25 USD in advertising credit.
For members who want everything handled. We build custom campaigns per listing, hyper-targeted by buyer demographics, source country, property type, and price band.
✦ Our team manages the campaign; every lead is personally qualified before it reaches the agent.
An online-only auction format for listings sitting too long or sellers who want to move now. Real buyer urgency without the public stigma of a price cut.
✦ The seller's list price stays intact; offers compete in a private, defined window.
What happens next
30 minutes. We learn about your section or association; you learn what we actually do.
How the alliance could be structured for your specific membership: branded, co-branded, or low-touch. We'll also build a dedicated market page for your region, like this one, for you to share with members. No cost, no obligation.
When and if it's right, we onboard your members at the pace you set, section by section, firm by firm.
A 30-minute conversation. No commitment, no cost, and most importantly, no pressure.
The honest answers
Nothing. The syndication platform is offered at no cost to your association and no cost to your members. We earn revenue exclusively from optional marketing programs — Video+, Ignite, Elevate, and Time-Limited Events — that members can choose to use. Whether a member uses them is entirely their choice.
Because we offer something the portals can't: we do not sell leads, do not charge per-lead fees, and do not take referral commissions on closed transactions. The listing agent — the one your association certified — remains the agent on every property, every inquiry, every closing. And our inventory is direct from the source: only those with the legitimate right to market a property are showcased on the listing. In a market plagued by ghost listings and scraped duplicates, that's the standard your code of ethics has always demanded.
On every property page across our marketplace, the listing agent's name, photo, firm, and contact details are displayed. Inquiries route directly to them. We do not anonymize listings to capture leads for resale.
Listings enter our marketplace direct from the source — the listing professional or owner with documented authority to market the property. We don't scrape portals, don't accept anonymous submissions, and don't run bait inventory. Consumers can have confidence that the person they're contacting is the listing agent who actually knows the property — and your members can have confidence they're never competing against a phantom version of their own listing.
No. We will not ask you to mandate participation, share member contact lists without consent, or commit to volume targets. The strongest alliances start when members opt in because the offer is genuinely worth opting into. Your endorsement signals trust; the rest is voluntary — and each section's autonomy is respected.
We connect directly to existing data sources — Flexmls feeds (as used by MLSVallarta and MLS BCS), other regional MLS systems, XML feeds, CRM exports, or members' own websites. Our technical team handles the integration. Members typically go live within 7–14 days, with no manual uploads thereafter. Firms without a feed can list directly on-site.
Yes. Members load and manage listings in Spanish; our marketplace surfaces them to international buyers in their own languages. Support, onboarding, and briefings are available in Spanish or English — whichever your membership prefers.
We work within the frameworks your members operate under: LFPIORPI anti-money-laundering obligations on vulnerable activities, state-level real estate registry laws, and the realities of the restricted zone and fideicomiso process for foreign buyers. We are a marketing and exposure platform — your members and their notarios remain the professionals of record on every transaction, exactly as Mexican law intends.
