You've fallen in love with La Paz and want a place to return to. I'll help you find the right property, understand the ownership process, and make sure your investment is protected.

The La Paz rental market is growing. Whether you're targeting short-term vacation rentals or long-term tenants, I can help you identify properties with strong return potential.
Most agents will tell you cash is the only option. It's not. Mexican bank financing for foreign buyers is possible — and I've personally navigated the process multiple times. If you think you might qualify, let's talk.
Purchasing property in Baja California Sur as an American or Canadian is completely legal and safe. But it works differently than buying at home. Understanding two key things upfront will save you confusion later.
Mexican law restricts direct foreign ownership of land within 50km of the coast and 100km of a border. La Paz falls within this zone — which means almost every property your buyers want is affected. This sounds alarming. It isn't. It just means you'll purchase through a fideicomiso.
A fideicomiso is a trust held by a Mexican bank on your behalf. You are the beneficiary — you have full rights to use, rent, sell, renovate, and inherit the property. The bank holds the deed in trust. It's the standard legal vehicle for foreign buyers and has been used safely for decades.
Thousands of Americans and Canadians own property in Baja California Sur through fideicomisos. The process is government-regulated, notarized, and transparent. My job is to walk you through every step so nothing surprises you.
Have questions about how this works for your situation? That's exactly what the free Buyer's Guide — and a call with me — are for.

RE/MAX La PenínsulaIn January 2025, I packed my family into an RV — my wife, two small boys, and a one-way plan — and drove south from Minnesota to La Paz. No office waiting for us. No house lined up. Just a decision we'd been working up to for years, and finally made.
La Paz is home now. And I wouldn't change a thing about how we got here.
After retiring from the U.S. Army, I know a thing or two about navigating uncertainty — new cities, new systems, new everything. That turned out to be useful, because buying property in Mexico as a foreigner is genuinely complicated. I know because we lived it. Our first purchase here was a nightmare — the kind that costs you real money and real sleep. We figured our way out of it, learned the process the hard way, and eventually closed on the home we wanted.
That experience is why I do this work the way I do. Every client I work with deserves someone who actually understands the banks, the legal process, and what's at stake — not just someone showing you houses.
But buying a home is only part of the move. I've also navigated schools, healthcare, residency, and what it actually costs to live well here. Moving internationally is a lot to carry. My job is to make it feel manageable, so you can actually enjoy what you're doing here instead of just surviving it. If you have questions beyond the transaction, I probably have answers.

PLACEHOLDER NEIGHBORHOOD, La Paz

My take
PLACEHOLDER — Personal agent commentary goes here. This is what sets this section apart from a listings portal — the agent's human perspective on each property.

Real buyers. Real experiences. No pressure.
PLACEHOLDER — This is where a real client quote goes. Something specific about the experience — the process feeling manageable, feeling taken care of, not being surprised at closing. 2-4 sentences.
PLACEHOLDER — Another client quote. Ideally from a different buyer type — retirement or investment buyer. Specific detail makes these feel real. Vague praise does nothing.
PLACEHOLDER — A third quote. Could speak to the financing process specifically — that would reinforce the differentiator from the Who This Is For section.
No pressure. No pitch. Just an honest conversation about what you’re looking for.
