This morning, the 33rd Real Estate Forum was officially opened at the Santander Performing Arts Complex of the University of Guadalajara.

The Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) in Guadalajara announced that by the end of this month, the first group of real estate agents accredited by the State Government will graduate.

Karen Julieta Correa, president of AMPI Guadalajara, highlighted that over 10 years ago, the first steps toward establishing real estate regulations were made. Today, that vision has become a reality, as the law now requires agents to hold a professional license in order to operate.

“Considering the complexity and the legal intricacies involved in property transactions, it’s hard to imagine someone promoting my assets without proper regulation or training. This puts the safety of my home and assets at risk,” Correa remarked.

She added, “For many of our clients, this may be the only transaction they’ll make in their lifetime. It’s our duty to carry out these operations with honor and, above all, responsibility—protecting their assets as if they were our own.”

The first law certifying real estate professionals will provide greater visibility to agents, building trust and confidence in property transactions for the public.

“This year, the real estate market is facing significant challenges and opportunities. We understand that both national and international economic dynamics directly influence the sector. However, in recent years, we’ve seen the real estate industry demonstrate remarkable resilience and adaptability,” Correa said.

She reiterated that real estate remains one of the most solid and secure investment options, with Jalisco ranking second nationally in terms of property placements.

This morning’s event also marked the opening of the 33rd Real Estate Forum at the Santander Performing Arts Complex.

Correa noted that AMPI has been active in Jalisco for 44 years, and the chapter is among the most influential in the country. AMPI continuously works with key stakeholders to strengthen the real estate ecosystem through ongoing improvement, innovation, good practices, and business ethics.

“We’re proud of the legacy we’ve built with over 2,500 real estate professionals who work tirelessly for society, helping make Jalisco one of the top destinations for investment in Mexico,” Correa concluded.
