Hi!! We are headed next week to SM to check out some property. We have talked to friends that own some property in Baja who suggested we get an accountant to help with the process if we decide to buy the property. Does anyone know of good accountants around the SM area? We鈥檒l be meeting some notaries and would like to meet some that are outside the circle of the woman selling the property. Any leads on notarios would be greatly appreciated as well:)

Thank you!!

I have bought, so far, 3 properties in Mexico, and I have sold 2, and never used an accountant. That sounds like money lost, to me. I know many ex pats, also, and none used accountants. Did your friends in Baja say WHY to get an accountant? Only the notary can close a sale in Mexico. I don't see how an accountant can "help." If you go through a RE agency, they will have in-house counsel if you need it, the sales agreement, etc. If you don't go through a RE agency, you will need an attorney. I have bought and sold both ways.聽 And of course, the notary is mandatory. But what purpose is an accountant ? We are also in the SMA area.
