Buyer advisory for luxury real estate in Los Cabos — VanSirius
Solutions · Buyers

Buying in Los Cabos,advised, not sold.

A private, consultative approach to acquiring a residence, a lot or an investment position on the southern tip of Baja — from the first conversation to the keys, and well beyond.

The approach

We do not send inventory. We build a point of view.

Purchasing real estate is among the most significant decisions a person makes. It deserves more than a list of listings.

VanSirius advises buyers across the full spectrum of prime property in Los Cabos and the southern tip of Baja: beachfront residences, penthouses, residential lots, development land, commercial assets and investment positions chosen to secure the future.

Our work rests on proficiency, intimate knowledge of the area and a willingness to think beyond the obvious — the ability to create opportunities that most would not consider possible, and to secure the best possible terms for the people we represent.

Founder and principal advisor Valentino Sartev takes a consultative approach. Rather than forwarding an email of available inventory from the MLS and expecting you to decipher it, the philosophy is collaborative and educational: guidance on the trends of the marketplace, access to all available inventory, and close direction through inspection and escrow.

Advice here is independent of any single development, listing or developer. Because we are not tied to inventory, our only incentive is a decision you will still be glad of in ten years.

That independence extends to the wider table: the notary, the trust bank, the attorney and the tax advisor. We coordinate them so the acquisition runs as one process, not four.

How an acquisition unfolds

Five stages, one advisor throughout.

  1. 01

    Listening

    A private conversation about lifestyle, objectives, timing and the role the property plays in a broader asset allocation.

  2. 02

    Access

    Every relevant opportunity — on the market and off it — presented with context: community, resale dynamics, rental potential, ownership structure.

  3. 03

    Selection

    Visits arranged around your schedule, on the ground with the advisor. Candid opinions, not sales pitches.

  4. 04

    Structure & negotiation

    Creative deal structuring and a negotiation aimed at protecting your position, in coordination with legal, tax and financial counsel.

  5. 05

    Closing & beyond

    Inspection, escrow and the fideicomiso, handled step by step. After closing, the relationship continues.

Considerations

What a foreign buyer should understand first.

  • a
    Ownership structureWithin the restricted zone, foreign buyers typically hold residential property through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican corporation. We explain which fits your objectives — before you fall in love with a property.
  • b
    Due diligenceTitle, liens, HOA and community regulations, permitted use, water and utilities: verified with legal counsel, not assumed.
  • c
    Closing costs and taxesAcquisition tax, notary and trust fees, and the long-term implications for capital gains, so there are no surprises at the closing table or years later.
  • d
    Community fitEvery community has its own character, rules, rental policy and resale dynamics. Choosing the right one is half the decision.

Access

Off-market, and before the market.

Some of the finest residences in Los Cabos change hands before they are ever listed. Owners who value privacy, developers releasing a limited allocation, estates settled quietly: none of it appears on a portal. Registering your brief with VanSirius places you in that circle.

Register your brief

Location, budget, must-haves and timing — held in confidence and matched against everything we see, listed or not.

Developer allocations

Early access to pre-construction releases in branded and private communities, often at the first price list.

Quiet introductions

When a residence fits your brief and its owner prefers discretion, we make the introduction privately.

Intelligence

Decisions built on evidence, not enthusiasm.

We publish our own reading of the market and we share it plainly: where values are moving, which communities are absorbing inventory, what a fair price looks like this season.

Market reports

Our periodic Baja California Sur market reports and community-level analysis.

FAQ's

Questions we are asked most often.

Can a foreigner own beachfront property in Los Cabos?
Yes. Residential property within the restricted zone is held through a fideicomiso — a renewable bank trust that gives the beneficiary full rights to use, sell, lease and bequeath the property. We walk you through it with the notary and your counsel.
Do you only show properties listed on the MLS?
No. We present everything relevant to your brief, including opportunities that never reach a public listing. Some of the best positions in Los Cabos are placed privately.
How long does an acquisition take?
A typical closing runs 30 to 75 days after an accepted offer, driven mostly by the trust set-up and due diligence. Cash acquisitions can move faster; complex structures may take longer.
What happens after closing?
The relationship continues: property management, rental strategy, renovation, staffing or — years later — a resale. Most of our clients come back.
Where we advise

A few of the communities we know best.
