Puerto Vallarta seller advisory
Sell ready.
Net more.
The documents that close a sale cleanly, and the ones that can lower your capital-gains tax. Gather these early and nothing slows your exit.
Selling here is straightforward when your paperwork is ready before you list. Here's everything you'll need, and the few items that directly protect what you walk away with.
Your seller checklist
Your identity and tax profile
- Valid passport
- Your RFC and CURP, your Mexican tax and ID numbers
- Proof you lived in the property: utility bills or bank statements in your name at the address
That residency proof matters more than it looks. It is what can reduce, or even exempt, your capital-gains tax.
Your property's paperwork
- The deed (escritura), original or certified copy
- Your latest paid property-tax receipt (predial)
- Zero-balance statements for water and electricity
- A no-debt letter from your HOA
Where your proceeds go
- Your completed KYC form
- The bank details for receiving your funds
If the money goes to a company, or to a name different from the owner on title, a little more documentation is required. I handle that with you.
Protect your net
The capital-gains exemption is real, but it's timed.
You can claim the ISR exemption once every three years, and only if your residency proof is in order at closing. Preparing these documents early is what protects your net. I connect you with the notary and tax professionals so the exemption is set up correctly, not discovered too late.
NEXT STEP
15 minutes. Understand what your sale involves.
No listing commitment. No pressure. We look at your property, your documents, and your timing. You leave with a clear view of the process, which ISR questions apply to your situation, and what would have to be prepared before listing.
