Don’t just go with any agent that a brokerage firm assigns you, lacks the experience necessary to sell your home, or will just go with the price you think your property is worth. Choose an agent with the qualities Jeff Schmidt has.
1. Jeff Understands the Local Market & Pricing Strategy
Cabo’s real estate markets can vary dramatically by community. An experienced agent knows current demand, buyer profiles, neighborhood comps, and pricing trends—ensuring you list at the highest realistic price and avoid sitting on the market too long. Jeff’s exceptional knowledge of the many communities, developments, and developers is unmatched in comparison to the newer agents that have flooded the market in recent years.
2. He Navigates Mexican Legal & Transactional Requirements
Selling property in Mexico involves unique regulations, including fideicomisos (for properties in the restricted zone, such as Los Cabos), notario involvement, capital gains rules, and required documentation. A seasoned agent guides you through the legal steps so there are no surprises, delays, or expensive mistakes.
3. Jeff Brings Professional Marketing & Exposure
Top agents invest in high-end photography, video, social media ads, international listing platforms, and connections with foreign buyer networks. This maximizes visibility among qualified buyers—both local and international—and leads to faster, stronger offers.
4. He Negotiates to Protect Your Bottom Line
Strong negotiation skills are essential, especially in markets with diverse buyer profiles like Los Cabos. An experienced agent knows how to handle offers, counteroffers, contingencies, and international buyers, helping you net the most money and best terms.
5. Jeff Manages the Entire Process Smoothly
From showings to vetting buyers, coordinating with the notario, reviewing offers, working with a trusted real estate attorney, and overseeing closing logistics, a professional agent handles time-consuming tasks and avoids costly errors. Sellers enjoy peace of mind and a smoother, stress-free transaction.

- Ask your potential realtor how many years of experience they have representing buyers and sellers in Los Cabos
- Does your potential realtor get leads on their own, or do they simply accept what is offered by their broker?
- Was your potential realtor ever licensed to sell real estate in the United States or Canada?
- Has your potential real estate agent ever bought or sold their own property in Cabo – renters simply don’t understand the process or personal experience if they haven’t gone through it themselves
