Husband's process

>> Friday, September 15, 2006


In order to sell real estate in Mexico, the Mexican government now requires that American real estate agents have licenses in the U.S. This is a good thing in a sense, because it prevents, "Joe-Blow-American-with-no-real-estate-experience" from selling real estate in the area.

However, because of technical red tape, the process is one big, fat catch-22. (Apparently, the Mexican government has temporarily (???) put a hold on granting FM3 status to real estate agents. T., correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.) Anywho, there's a bit of a concern (small bit) about how/if C. will be able to get into the country as a sales agent for the company.

However, yesterday C. was able to procure a copy of his real estate license. We were concerned about gaining access to his license since it's technically "owned" by the state of Ohio and never comes in contact with the individual who holds it. Luckily, the process went very smoothly, though. C. was able to talk with the individuals at the office, and yesterday he picked up several "certified copies" of his Ohio real estate license.

Next, he will need to get it notarized by our attorney friend(s), and then apostilled by the Secretary of State.

Hopefully, all will work out well . This is just the first step in the process.
