Zisla – Celebrating 4 Years Of Foreign Investment In Mexico

Zisla is a real estate brokerage firm that specializes in representing buyers from all over the world to accomplish their investment goals in real estate in Mexico and Tulum. From finding the perfect property in a hot market like Tulum to the negotiation of the contract, Zisla makes sure that their clients have all the information they need to make a well-informed decision.

Why did a Canadian group decide to join forces in Mexico?

Zisla’s CEO Shaheen Lambert moved to Cancun 12 years ago. Being a real estate broker in Canada, she started to get really curious about the real estate market in the region of the Riviera Maya. After a few years of gathering information on the market, she decided to try the investment herself by buying two properties. She quickly understood that the process was fairly easy when having the right information. But that was the issue at the time. The right information was far from being common knowledge. Real estate professionals in Mexico were not aware of the specific requirements for a foreigner to invest in the country.

She quickly experienced first-hand the value of her investment with both the returns from short-term rentals and the value of her properties skyrocketing to the roof. She wanted to let her entourage know and help them do the same. 8 years ago, Shaheen started representing international buyers that were referred to her. The word quickly went around that she was the solution to invest in such a profitable market. Within 4 years, she had sold more than 250 units in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

Shaheen’s vision was bigger than just doing real estate transactions under her name. That’s when she decided to partner with today’s Zisla cofounders. In January 2019, Zisla was officially in the making.

Problems Zisla Solves

To this day, most real estate professionals don’t properly understand how the system works for foreigners to own a property in Mexico. Zisla makes sure to share the accurate information to anyone that is interested in investing in Mexico. They’ve created a very informative blog where all information shared is reviewed by qualified lawyers and real estate professionals. This allows the buyers to get well informed by themselves to gradually gain knowledge and confidence in the market.

When a potential buyer reaches out to Zisla, they can be sure that he’ll get the answer to his questions. The real estate professionals at Zisla are extremely proactive and knowledgeable of the market. They will provide any type of information that is requested while making sure that the entire process is being completed without any issue.

Where to invest in Mexico?

For those looking for the best bang for their buck, look no further than Tulum. Tulum, a small town located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, has seen a surge in real estate development in recent years. Zisla Real Estate is at the forefront of this growth, offering a range of services to both domestic and international buyers and sellers.

Over the last 4 years, Tulum house prices have risen by an average of 78%. On top of this incredible rise in value, most properties offer an 8-15% yearly return on investment for short-term rentals. The team at Zisla Real Estate has a deep understanding of the local market and is well equipped to guide international buyers through the process of buying property in Tulum. This includes helping buyers find the right property, negotiating the purchase price, and navigating the legal and financial aspects of the transaction.

For instance, the average price per square metre sold in Tulum in 2022 was 2,782.08 USD. Zisla’s average was about 1,350 USD per square metre. In a market where about 90% of buyers are investors, Zisla makes sure to sell the properties that have the best potential return over the years. They back their investment recommendations on aggregated revenue data gathered from Airbnb and VRBO. The numbers they give to their clients are a realistic projection of what they can expect from their investment. Their last good shot of 2022 was selling two 5-bedroom villas priced at 392,000 USD each. The current projected ROI for each villa is at 26% net yearly.
