I Signed a Pre-Construction Contract in Mexico, Now What? EPISODE 2

Nancy ValientePuerto Vallarta
Signing a pre-construction contract in Mexico is a milestone, but it's also just the beginning of the purchase process. What comes next is where buyers need to stay sharp, ask the right questions, and know what to watch for at every stage. Nancy Valiente walks through the steps that follow that initial signature, with a focus on helping real estate buyers understand what the process actually looks like on the ground. Whether you're purchasing in Puerto Vallarta or elsewhere along Mexico's Pacific coast, the mechanics of a pre-construction deal come with their own rhythm, and their own risks if you're not paying attention. The core of this video is practical: what should you be looking for during the purchase process, and what questions should you be asking? Pre-construction agreements in Mexico often involve staged payment schedules tied to construction milestones. Knowing what those milestones are, and how to verify they've actually been met, matters. So does understanding who holds your funds, how the developer is structured, and what your contract says about delivery timelines and what happens if they slip. Buyers in Puerto Vallarta's new-construction market are often purchasing from abroad, which adds another layer of complexity. Communication with the developer, currency considerations, and the role of a notario público in formalizing the transaction are all part of a process that looks different from buying a resale home in the U.S. or Canada. A good Realtor doesn't just help you find the unit, they help you navigate what comes after the ink dries. This video is built for home buyers who want to go in informed, not just optimistic. Nancy's approach is direct: here's what to look for, here's what to ask, and here's how to protect yourself through the process.
