8. Legal & Trust

Transparency, compliance, and your financial protection are at the heart of every transaction we manage. We work across Mexico, the United States, and Canada, adapting to each jurisdiction’s legal framework while keeping our process consistent, secure, and client-focused.

8.1 – Legal Framework

• In Mexico, all property transactions follow federal and state laws, including compliance with the Ley Federal para la Prevención e Identificación de Operaciones con Recursos de Procedencia Ilícita (Anti-Money Laundering Law).

• In the United States and Canada, we follow each jurisdiction’s real estate, escrow, and trust account regulations.

• Our team partners with experienced notaries, attorneys, and escrow agents to ensure every transaction is legally sound, properly documented, and fully compliant.

8.2 – Client Funds & Security

• All retainers and payments are processed through secure, traceable methods.

• In Mexico, all amounts paid to the seller must originate from a bank account under the buyer’s own name.

  • If a third-party title escrow company is used, the buyer must first transfer funds to the escrow account from an account under their own name.

  • This ensures full compliance with anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations and officially records the buyer’s purchase cost, helping to avoid unnecessary additional taxes on capital gains at the time of resale.

• In the U.S. and Canada, funds are handled according to each jurisdiction’s escrow or trust account requirements, always ensuring the buyer’s name is on the originating account.

• We never take shortcuts with your money — you always know where it is and when it’s released.

8.3 – Refund Policy

• Your package retainer is fully refundable upon successful property closing through Next Fit LLC, provided the purchase is made with us as your buyer’s representative.

• If you decide to buy a property without us or through another buyer’s agent, your package will be considered a paid consulting service and the retainer will not be refunded.

• Refunds are issued within 7 business days after the notary or escrow confirms the transfer of property ownership to your name.

• All refunds are processed in the same currency and payment method used for the original transaction, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
