Mexico Real Estate Brokerage & U.S. Depository Services

OUR BUSINESS STRUCTURE

Yucatán Beach and City Properties (Mexico Entity) 

Yucatán Beach and City Properties is a certified real estate brokerage based in Mérida, Yucatán. We guide clients through the full Mexican real estate process from property search and due diligence to offer, negotiation, and closing. Our team works directly with the closing attorney at every stage to help keep each transaction efficient, compliant, and transparent. We operate exclusively under Mexican law and provide bilingual support, clear communication, and a structured process designed to protect your interests.

 

YBCP LLC (U.S. Entity)

YBCP LLC is our U.S.-based administrative, depository, and compliance management entity. It does not conduct real estate brokerage in the United States. Instead, it supports our Mexico brokerage by providing the secure financial and administrative infrastructure needed for international real estate transactions. This includes U.S.-based banking protections, USD stability, structured compliance oversight, and clear documentation and financial tracking.

Important Clarification 

YBCP LLC does not perform real estate brokerage services. We operate strictly as:

• A depository

• A compliance management entity

• An administrative support structure

 

Why We Use Two Companies 

Real estate activities in Mexico must be conducted locally under Mexican law. However, many administrative, financial, and compliance functions are safer and more transparent when handled under U.S. law, especially for international buyers purchasing in USD. Using two entities allows us to combine the strengths of both systems: local expertise and legal compliance in Mexico, paired with U.S.-based financial security, documentation, and administrative oversight.

 

How This Structure Benefits Clients 

By combining the strengths of both entities, we provide:

• A secure U.S.-based financial environment 

• Clear documentation and accountability 

• Consistent administrative standards 

• Cross-border transparency 

• A streamlined experience from offer to closing 

• Alignment with global real estate compliance standards 

This dual-entity structure allows us to deliver the highest level of professionalism and protection while our Mexico brokerage focuses on guiding you through the real estate process on the ground.

 

DEPOSITORY SERVICES

YBCP LLC provides a secure, transparent channel for receiving, holding, and disbursing client funds related to Mexican real estate transactions. Funds remain safely held in the U.S. until closing, when they are released in one coordinated step for all components of the transaction. This structure offers the protections international buyers expect without the high fees associated with third‑party escrow services.

 

DEPOSITORY SERVICES FOR CLIENTS WORKING WITH OTHER REAL ESTATE COMPANIES

YBCP LLC’s secure U.S.-based depository and compliance framework is also available to international buyers purchasing property in Mexico through other real estate companies, provided the transaction meets our internal criteria. This service is ideal for buyers who want added security, documentation, and financial oversight, regardless of which brokerage represents them.

What We Provide 

• Secure U.S.-based holding of buyer deposits 

• Clear documentation and receipts for all funds received and disbursed 

• Coordinated release of all funds at closing according to the executed contract, which may include payment to the seller, payment to the closing attorney, payment of any applicable taxes, payment of notarial fees, and other authorized disbursements as outlined in the contract.   

• Compliance oversight including AML, KYC, and Source‑of‑Funds verification 

• Administrative support for payment tracking and documentation integrity 

• A neutral, structured financial channel separate from the brokerage involved 

 

FLAT, ALL-INCLUSIVE DEPOSITORY AND CONTRACT DRAFTING FEE

YBCP LLC provides its depository service under a flat, all - inclusive low‑cost fee. This single fee covers every component required to securely structure and administer your deposit for a Mexican real estate purchase.

This includes: 

• Secure U.S.-based holding of funds 

• Bilingual contract drafting in English and Spanish, including the mandatory depository authority language.  No need to pay any third‑party for contract preparation.

• Compliance oversight including AML, KYC, and Source‑of‑Funds verification 

• Clear documentation and receipts for all funds received and disbursed 

• Coordinated release of all funds at closing according to the executed contract, which may include payment to the seller, payment to the closing attorney, payment of any applicable taxes, payment of notarial fees, and other authorized disbursements as outlined in the contract.   

• Administrative tracking and financial documentation 

Everything is included in one transparent fee. Contact us for details.

 

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR DEPOSITORY SERVICES

Depository services are available when the following conditions are met:

1. The purchase is for real estate in Mexico. 

This service is exclusively for Mexican property transactions, regardless of which real estate company the buyer is working with.

2. YBCP LLC must draft the Offer to Purchase or Purchase Contract. 

To provide depository services, YBCP LLC must prepare the contract because it contains the mandatory depository authority language that legally authorizes us to hold and disburse funds. All contracts are fully bilingual and drafted to meet the requirements of Mexican attorneys, notarios, and financial institutions.

This ensures: 

• Proper legal structure for U.S.-based fund handling 

• Enforceable depository authority 

• Clear, compliant disbursement instructions 

• Full protection of the buyer’s deposit 

• No additional third‑party drafting costs 

3. The buyer completes all compliance requirements. 

This includes: 

• KYC identity verification 

• Source‑of‑Funds declaration 

• Supporting financial documentation 

4. The transaction proceeds under the legal structure established in the executed contract. 

Once the contract is fully executed, the depository authority and disbursement instructions become legally binding. The closing attorney may have preferences, but they do not override the executed agreement. Their role is to close the transaction according to the contract.

 

HOW BUYERS USING OTHER BROKERAGES BENEFIT FROM OUR DEPOSITORY SERVICE 

International buyers who are represented by another real estate company can still choose YBCP LLC as their depository. This provides several important protections and advantages that are not typically available when wiring funds directly to Mexico or relying on informal arrangements.

Why Buyers Benefit 

• A secure U.S.-based financial environment 

• Neutral, third‑party handling of funds 

• Bilingual, legally structured contract drafting 

• Clear, documented disbursement at closing 

• Compliance oversight that protects the buyer 

• No additional third‑party drafting fees 

• Reduced risk of fraud or misrouting of funds 

 

A Safer, More Transparent Experience 

Even if you are represented by another real estate company, using YBCP LLC as your depository gives you more control, more transparency, more protection, and more confidence in the process. Your funds are handled professionally, securely, and in full alignment with the executed contract, no matter which brokerage you choose for your property search.
