"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!"

"I loved working with Nicholas Sanders and Yucatan Beach and City Property. I felt confident and in safe hands throughout the process. He was communicative and ensured that I was informed. He was professional and reassuring when I was unsure. I would 100% trust him again to hold my hand through any real estate business. He's… also a rather nice chap. Thanks for making it easy Nicholas!"

"Dave and I want to thank you for all of your help over the past several months in helping us to purchase our amazing new beach home. Your guidance in navigating our first international purchase was invaluable. And your patience and quick responses to our many questions/concerns was much appreciated. We’d also like to sen… d a big THANK YOU to Jeff for coordinating visits to the house, driving us to the notario, responding to all of the questions we peppered him with, providing contacts, and so much more.

"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"

"Couldn't imagine going through all the paperwork without Jeff Stacy and Elizabeth Rodriguez's help and guidance... will recommend them to my friends."

"I was quite nervous at the thought of putting my home up for sale. I had one agent from a different company come to give me a potential listing price, which she did before even walking through the house! As I was not comfortable with that agent's indifferent attitude, I decided to contact Elizabeth Rodriguez at Yucatan Beac… h and City Property Real Estate. Jeff Stacy arrived, walked through my house and reassured me it would not be a difficult sell. In less than two weeks I had an offer which met my target. The two of them held my hand through the whole process, putting up with my continual inquiries on status due to the current Fideicomiso delay issues and were extremely supportive and encouraging the whole time.

"My family and I went from the idea of investing in Merida real estate to owning a beautiful colonial home in a few short months. Elizabeth Rodriguez made the process as easy as it can be. We were provided with all the information upfront, got all of our questions answered and had property showings arranged in time for our … visit to Merida. The legal team that YBCP works with promptly took care of all the paperwork and handled the money transfers in a transparent manner. Special thanks go to our agent Jeff Stacy who took us around the city for property showings, answered all our questions while keeping us well entertained. All throughout the process both Elizabeth Rodriguez and Jeff Stacy were always available to address any question or concern. To sum it up, I would use Yucatan Beach and City Property services again and recommend them, without hesitation, to anyone looking to purchase in Merida and the surrounding areas."

"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."
