Who should I, as a Mexican citizen, work with? Do I need a lawyer, accountant, or agent?

­🧑‍💼 1. Real Estate Agent (Required – Start Here)

Your most important first contact.

What they do:

• Help you understand the market and neighborhoods
   
• Search for properties that meet your goals (investment, vacation, rental)
   
• Coordinate virtual or in-person tours
   
• Draft and negotiate offers
   
• Guide you through the buying process from start to finish
   

✅ Choose a bilingual agent experienced with foreign and Mexican buyers
👉 Tip: They can connect you to the rest of the team below.

⚖️ 2. Real Estate Attorney (Highly Recommended)

Not required by law in Florida — but strongly recommended for foreign buyers.

What they do:

• Review contracts, HOA rules, and title documents
   
• Help you set up an LLC or trust (if needed)
   
• Advise on inheritance and estate planning
   
• Coordinate power of attorney or remote closing
   

✅ Especially helpful if you want asset protection or are buying through a legal entity.

🧾 3. International Tax Advisor or CPA (Recommended)

Essential if:

• You plan to rent the property
   
• Want to avoid double taxation (Mexico–U.S.)
   
• Need to file a U.S. tax return (especially after selling)
   

What they do:

• Help you choose the best ownership structure (personal vs. LLC)
   
• Advise on FIRPTA, estate taxes, and rental income reporting
   
• Coordinate with your Mexican accountant
   

✅ Choose one with cross-border experience between Mexico and the U.S.

🏦 4. Mortgage Broker or Bank (If Financing)

What they do:

• Help you get pre-qualified or approved for a foreign national mortgage
   
• Explain down payment, interest rates, and required documentation
   

✅ Look for lenders who specialize in foreign buyers and Latin American clients.

🏢 5. Title Company or Closing Agent (Required)

They manage the legal closing process, hold escrow funds, and issue title insurance to ensure you're buying a clean, lien-free property.

✅ Usually selected by your agent or attorney — make sure they’re familiar with international closings.
