AMPI initiatives in Mexican real estate

The Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios (AMPI) has initiated efforts to professionalize and modernize the Mexican real estate sector.

Initially, the association expanded into the academic sector by launching the Centro Universitario AMPI. This center provides various certified programs, including technician, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, to address an increasingly regulated and technological market. This move follows trends of rising housing prices and evolving legal frameworks across most Mexican federal entities.

Subsequently, AMPI has shifted focus toward advocating for systemic reforms, specifically calling for the modernization of cadastral and registry systems. The association is pushing for the harmonization of information between public registries and cadastral offices to ensure legal certainty and protect property rights. AMPI President Jenny Althair Rivas Padilla emphasized the need for reliable information and technological tools to reduce transaction inconsistencies. Additionally, the association has expressed concerns regarding the proposed General Law for the Strengthening and Harmonization of Cadastral and Registry Systems, warning that updates to cadastral values must be based on technical criteria to avoid placing disproportionate tax pressure on households.
