Senior Real Estate Agent, State Certified
Alejandro Lopez
Mucho gusto! I am a native to Mérida, Yucatan and I attended the Autonomous University of Yucatan where I completed my PhD in Anthropological Science. After I graduated, I made the move into the real estate industry where I now have teamed up with my husband since 2021.
As a real estate agent in the Yucatan Beach and City Properties team, my focus is to prepare local and foreign sellers to present their home in the competitive market. I guide sellers regarding documents needed for the sale, tax strategies, and top-notch listings with professional visual media.
Endeavoring to serve as a guide and resource also for Mexican and foreign buyers, as a local I have developed a deep understanding of the diversity of neighborhoods and areas in Yucatan, and I am passionate for helping clients to find their dream home.
Allow me to offer my professional and personal services to discover your next adventure chapter behind the historic doors of Mérida.

"If I ever annoyed Alejandro with so many of my questions and inquiries, I will never know. He constantly reminded me that he was here for us. Actually, I still may reach out for certain things and yes, he still responds. Great gentleman."

"Working with Nicholas Sanders was an excellent experience from start to finish. Our first meeting took place over a video call, and right away he made the whole buying process in Mérida clear and stress-free.
Nicholas was always available whenever we needed advice or updates, and he was extremely well organized in plann… ing property visits during our first trip to Mérida. He showed great knowledge of the local market and the entire purchase process, which gave us confidence every step of the way.
We truly appreciate his professionalism, patience, and dedication — and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home in Mérida. Thank you, Nicholas, for helping us find our new home in Mexico!"

"Nicholas Sanders, thanks so much for guiding us to the finish line on our first home in Merida. It was a daunting process for someone still living in the US and unfamiliar with the real estate process in Mexico. You and your colleagues were excellent at explaining the process and what we could expect to happen along the way… . Perhaps we were lucky to have so few problems, but I expect it was largely due to your guidance and knowledge. We are excited about the future and becoming a part of the Merida community."

"This was our first international real estate purchase, and we wanted/needed a reliable, knowledgeable, and patient agent that we could trust. Nicholas has proven to be “all that” and more! He made our accelerated process his priority. His honesty and sincere passion for his profession solidified our trust in him. He answere… d all our questions honestly, even the toughest ones, and did it in a timely manner. He has been extremely helpful throughout the process, continues to check-in with us, and has a plan in place to update us on various needed details throughout the first year in our new home. He is a stellar agent and a genuinely compassionate person. We highly recommend Nicholas Sanders. Mil gracias Nicholas!!!"

"We recently had the pleasure of having Nicholas’s services for our property buying experience in Chelem. Initially we were in the market for a rehab project which he made sure we had plenty of choices to view always within our budget. Over the extended months we looked at multiple properties Nicholas remained patient and … honest even at times letting us know when we needed to walk away from a property for whatever reason. In the end we chose a lot which Nicholas had found before it was officially listed. He knew this particular lot would be of great interest to us because he dedicated his time with us actually listening and understanding our wants. If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, honest, patient and network’s very well then we highly recommend Nicholas. Also, for those of us who are not yet fluent in the language he speaks both English and Spanish. The agency as a whole is very professional, informative and makes the buying process simple. We were extremely pleased with our experience and feel we had the agent who was a perfect fit for us.
Kind regards,"

"We have been working with Nicholas for over a year in order to find the perfect home for our needs. Throughout the process, Nicholas has demonstrated such dedication and patience, and has been able to guide us in a market that was unknown to us. Nicholas knows his game: he tells things like they are and has always provided … great advice to help us through this journey. Thanks for your support, your kindness and your extreme patience!"

"Nicholas Sanders was recommended to me by friends, and they were absolutely right about him. I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted but was wide open as to how to create it. That didn’t phase Nicholas one bit, even as we looked hither and yon around town, and he (along with Alejandro) ended up helping me shape my vision … and find the perfect piece of property on which to do it. So I’m happy now, and can’t emphasize enough the importance of working with a realtor like Nicholas who listens, never pushes AND knows his stuff. 5 stars for Nicholas!"

"We could not be happier with our experience working with Nicholas Sanders. From the very first email, he shared more information about the process of buying a home in Mexico than anyone else we had spoken to. It immediately put us at ease, knowing he was really on top of everything. We found that he REALLY listened to wha… t we were looking for in a house as well as the neighborhoods we were considering. Additionally, he was very respectful in making arrangements to show us a house we had seen a listing for on our own. Every step of the process was made easier because of his knowledge and communication, and we were excited to find the perfect home for our needs. We highly recommend Nicholas and the team at Yucatan Beach and City Property"

"From our first interaction with Nicholas, we knew we were making the right decision in contacting him. He was responsive and informative with his communications. Throughout the process of buying our vacation home in Merida, Nicholas walked us through every step to ensure we understood and were comfortable with every step. W… e explored many properties and ultimately settled on the first property he showed us! Now that we are settling into our new home, Nicholas has continued to reach out and provide us the resources we need in our new home. He and the entire team he works with have exceeded our expectations throughout the process."
