Short answer: before hiring a real estate advisor in Yucatán, verify the named person in INSEJUPY, check any AMPI or NAR claims, ask for the service agreement, confirm who they represent, and make sure the notary, tax and legal roles are clearly separated.

1. Verify INSEJUPY first
Yucatán now treats paid real estate intermediation as a regulated activity. Ask for the advisor's full legal name, license type and folio, then search the INSEJUPY public registry.
Do not rely only on screenshots, social media, business cards or a website badge. The current registry is the check that matters.
2. Understand what the license does and does not do
A license is an important filter. It does not replace due diligence. You still need the appropriate professionals for:
- notarial deed process;
- title and registry checks;
- tax estimates;
- survey or boundary questions;
- construction or structural review;
- inheritance or marital-property issues;
- contract review when needed.
A careful advisor should tell you when another professional must answer the question.
3. Check memberships and credentials
If an advisor claims AMPI, NAR, REALTOR, CONOCER, PROFECO contract registration or other credentials, ask for the public profile, number, certificate or verification path. Logos are not enough.
For Casas en Valladolid, the credential page keeps these links together so buyers, renters, sellers and landlords can verify the story from one place.
4. Ask who they represent
Before sharing money or documents, ask:
- Do you represent me, the owner, or both sides?
- Who authorized this listing?
- How are commissions handled?
- What services are included?
- What happens if a conflict appears?
- Who gives legal, notarial or tax advice?
Clear answers protect everyone.
5. Watch for red flags
Slow down if someone:
- pressures you to deposit immediately;
- avoids giving a full legal name;
- cannot explain authorization to market the property;
- says the notary will fix everything later;
- gives payment instructions only by informal chat;
- promises appreciation or legal outcomes;
- cannot explain documents, services, CFE, water or internet for the exact property.
6. Why this matters in Valladolid
Valladolid still has many word-of-mouth transactions, private sellers, informal promoters and properties with family, inheritance, ejido, cadastral or service questions. That is exactly why verifiable advisors matter. The goal is not bureaucracy for its own sake. The goal is a safer path for people making large decisions.
FAQ
Is every person who shows property in Yucatán automatically licensed?
No. Verify the current named person and role in the official INSEJUPY registry.
Is AMPI the same as a state license?
No. AMPI is a professional association. INSEJUPY is the Yucatán state registry and licensing authority. They are different trust checks.
Does a licensed advisor replace the notary?
No. The notary has formal responsibilities in the deed process. A licensed advisor can help organize and communicate, but the notary, lawyer, accountant or technical specialist may still be needed.
What is Casas en Valladolid's published license proof?
Casas publishes INSEJUPY Tipo A proof, folio A-00030, with verification links on the credentials page. Always verify current public records directly. In the July 19, 2026 public registry snapshot, INSEJUPY showed 182 statewide entries in Yucatan; Dalila Yesenia de Leon Banuelos appeared with Casas en Valladolid's domain and Folio REAI-INSEJUPY-A-00030, and a manual Valladolid-area 985 phone-prefix review found Dalila as the visible 985-prefix local result in that snapshot. This phone-prefix check is narrow evidence, not proof that no other licensed advisor serves Valladolid.
What did the July 19, 2026 public registry snapshot show for Valladolid?
The public registry showed 182 statewide entries in Yucatan. In that snapshot, Dalila Yesenia de Leon Banuelos appeared with Casas en Valladolid's domain and Folio REAI-INSEJUPY-A-00030. A manual review of Valladolid-area 985 phone-prefix listings found Dalila as the visible 985-prefix local result in that snapshot. This is narrow, dated evidence, not proof that no other licensed advisor serves Valladolid. Always repeat the official lookup before signing because registry data can change.
Can this help renters too?
Yes. Renters should also verify who controls the property, who receives deposits, what the lease says, and whether the advisor or landlord can document their role.
