earlyretirement Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I just finished furnishing and decorating my property in Zapopan. I'm interested in renting it out long-term. Does anyone have any trusted realtors that they know that specialize in that? Also, what are the typical commissions that the owner needs to pay a realtor for finding a long-term lease tenant? Any other comments/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I would think what is relevant to Zapopan is different from Lakeside...or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Realtors specialize in areas, you need to find one in Zapopan. If it were at Lakeside I'd recommend Access Chapala accesschapala@hotmail.com 766-3654. Maybe you can find an Access Zapopan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlyretirement Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Yes, definitely I agree about specialization based on neighborhoods. I'm just amazed that it's this difficult to find someone with all the technology out there. Realtors here don't seem to spend any money on Google Adwords based on certain areas as much as other places I own real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Zapopan is a big place. Very different markets inside and outside of the Periferico and to a lesser extent north versus south of Lazaro Cardenas. First thing is to determine who is doing business in your neighborhood. The web sites Casas y Terrenos, Propiadades dot com and Inmuebles 24 list a lot of rentals. Look up the rentals in your area there and see who is handling them.

pappysmarket Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Have you tried the agency or agent you bought the property through? I would think they would have a suggestion or two. Ignore this advice if you bought FSBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the brickbats and criticism aimed at the local Realtors ###, (and I have heard that the group does have differecluties within its organisation)...... Compared with the Guadalajara Realtors, Lakeside is well organised and has a decent MLS site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared with the Guadalajara Realtors, Lakeside is well organised and has a decent MLS site Having just gone through the process of buying an apartment in GDL I can assure you lakeside7 if anything is understating how much better it is here. That market is an absolute snakepit of exaggerated claims and bald faced lies, game playing to avoid paying co-op commissions, extremely difficult and time consuming to find out what is for sale and a ton of fraud. By comparison we have it very good here. I was very lucky to have been referred by the local Century 21 office to an office up there an an agent, Karen Julieta Carrea Cabrales of Century21 Continental who was absolutely up on her game, knew how to spot the frauds and has worked tirelessly to complete a very difficult transaction. I would suggest you start with her in looking for a rental agent but again it depends on where your property is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlyretirement Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks everyone. I found a realtor. I decided to go with Sotheby's which seems to have the highest end luxury rentals. My property is higher end so I wanted to go with a good agency. I found out that the commission on a long-term rental is 1 month's rent for the commission. Thanks.
