More than 350,000 people live in Los Cabos, located at the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula. Many of the area’s private homes date back to the 19th century and have been converted into galleries and gift shops that feature upscale paintings, sculptures, and art from local creators. Los Cabos also showcases important examples of colonial architecture, including its church, which dates back to 1730.

Palmilla Beach homes for sale are rare, and that’s one of the reasons why Los Cabos is experiencing a vibrant seller's market. More buyers are searching for Palmilla Beach homes for sale than homes available. One&Only Palmilla is a high-end luxury resort that also offers single-family homes and condos, with a median price point of $6,969,128.

If you’re in the market to buy or sell Los Cabos luxury real estate, consider using a full-service realtor to guide you through your Los Cabos real estate transaction. Below are six reasons why it will make your purchase or sale of a Los Cabos home more rewarding and less stressful.

In-depth research


Any realtor can upload a home listing on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and sadly, that's all some realtors do. A full-service realtor will research comparable homes in the Los Cabos real estate market to determine the value of your home before listing. This process is called a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), and it’s the first step to successfully buying and selling Palmilla beach homes for sale.

High-quality photos


A full-service realtor will take pictures of your home or hire a professional photographer. Some realtors even hire professional stagers to ensure your space looks open and bright and appeals to many potential buyers. Stagers work to get rid of clutter, outdated furnishings, and decor to best entice buyers of Palmilla Beach homes for sale.

Better use of the MLS

Armed with the CMA and professional photographs, your realtor is ready to list your home on the MLS. Before doing so, they will ask for details about the house to craft an accurate, enticing description. They’ll likely ask how old the house is, its size, acreage, proximity to local amenities and attractions, school districts, the neighborhood's age and demographic, and any unique qualities comparable homes might not have.

Effective marketing strategy

Full-service agents know how, when, why, and where to drive traffic to your Los Cabos home for sale. They'll employ word-of-mouth advertising, fliers, yard signs, local real estate publications, online sites, and network with other realtors in their circle to spread the word about your home. Social media has become a key component of marketing. Full-service agents understand precisely how to navigate this social world to showcase your property and draw in many more potential buyers.

Handle scheduling for open houses and showings


A full-service real estate agent is in charge of scheduling open houses, advertising, and camping out at the house during the duration of open houses for Palmilla beach homes for sale. They’re also responsible for scheduling and leading individual walk-throughs of potential buyers who couldn’t make the open house. Your agent should, by this time, know your home as well or even better than you do, so they can answer any question a buyer poses.

Connections within Los Cabos real estate

A full-service realtor is there to advise you on any home buying and selling components. For example, if you’re considering a kitchen renovation, your realtor can tell you whether it will deliver a strong return on investment. They can also identify strengths and weaknesses about your home that need fixing and whether they are worth the effort. These assessments help boost your asking price and ensure you have time to make any repairs before the sale.

Your full-service realtor will also comb through all the details in your contract and make changes that most benefit you. If a realtor doesn’t know how to navigate a contract, it’s time to find someone new. Once a potential buyer makes an offer on your house, your realtor will negotiate the terms of sale. Contracts are rarely as simple as an offer and acceptance, and a skilled full-service realtor will be able to translate all the legalese so you know what you're accepting and what you're not willing to negotiate over. A qualified realtor will be forthcoming with all the contract details and adjust them to ensure both buyer and seller accept all the terms. This is especially important if you’re buying or selling real estate in a nation where you don’t hold citizenship.
