A milestone and historic event occurred in Mexico Real Estate this August. Recently, the AMPI association was able to implement a new degree in the Mexican universities and obtain the classification of a new professional license for Mexico Real Estate professionals. The new university degree is being offered as an option in universities in response to the Mexican authority’s concerns that improved standards and better training should be required for real estate consultants and professionals in Mexico. Fernando González Salazar, Director of the Professional License Department of AMPI pointed out, “The market and clients demand true professionals, specialists in real estate with recognized studies and a professional license authorized by a federal government body.” The new professional title is officially authorized and administered by the SEP (Secretary of Public Education), and comes in response to the request from the consumer market. The title is offered through a combination of a professionally applied exam of high security - and the requisites of demonstrating ample experience in the industry. Also, the title can be obtained from studying 4 years of courses at several universities selected throughout Mexico. Antecedents “We have estimated that there are nearly 19,000 people practicing within the Mexico real estate industry.” Mentioned Lic. Laura Flores, coordinator of the process EGATSU-CI within AMPI. “Of these approximately 2,300 are associates of the AMPI organization”. Before the new title of Property Commercialization was presented, Mexico Real Estate Licenses were not offered although certifications were available, such as those offered by CONOCER organization and by AMPI chapters. In the state of Sonora for example, a license to work in the industry was available and required. The license was available for those who took the test and obtained the certification. A group of associates in the national office of AMPI have been working with great dedication for the past several years to change the idea of a Mexico real estate professional license into reality, and in doing so, increasing the level of service standards in the Mexican real estate industry. AMPI contributed many man hours, knowledge and dedication from key members of their organization to ensure this milestone achievement was accomplished. In July of 2009, the first Mexican Real Estate Title and Professional License was presented and delivered to Thomas Lloyd. CONGRATULATIONS to AMPI, to CONOCER, to SEP, to all of the efforts and dedication from many people in the industry, and to Thomas Lloyd for having the opportunity to participate in this milestone event.
