How to Verify an INSEJUPY Real Estate Advisor in Yucatan

Short answer: before you buy, sell, rent, or sign an exclusive agreement in Yucatan, ask for current INSEJUPY proof and match the advisor's legal name to the paperwork. Then verify CONOCER, PROFECO/RPCA, A.M.P.I., or NAR only when those credentials are being used as part of the advisor's trust claim.

Last reviewed: June 10, 2026. This guide is informational. Licensing rules, public registries, and notarial practice can change; for a specific transaction, confirm current documents with INSEJUPY, PROFECO, your notary, and when needed, a lawyer.

Why verification matters now

Yucatan formalized real estate intermediation rules through Decree 73/2025, published on May 21, 2025. Buyers and sellers no longer have to rely only on personal trust, a Facebook page, or a listing portal profile. They can ask for specific documents and compare names, dates, and registration details.

The practical rule is simple: before you pay money, sign a seller authorization, accept a purchase promise, or move a file toward the notary, confirm that the person advising you has authorization compatible with the service they are offering.

The documents to ask for

Ask for these documents before committing money or exclusivity. An organized advisor should be able to show them by email, WhatsApp, or video call without making the conversation awkward.

1. Current INSEJUPY license or proof

Start with INSEJUPY. Ask for the advisor's full legal name, license type, registration number, issue date, and validity date. The INSEJUPY State Registry of Real Estate Advisors exists to provide certainty around real estate service providers in Yucatan. Casas en Valladolid also publishes current proof on our credentials page, including Dalila Yesenia de León Bañuelos' Folio A-00030.

Match the legal name, license type, folio, and document date to official ID, contract language, and commercial communication.

2. Correct license type

In practical terms, check the license type:

Type A: certified real estate advisor as an individual. This is the proof you expect from the person advising you directly.
Type B: certified real estate agency. This helps verify the company, but it does not replace checking the people involved in the transaction.
Type C: affiliated advisor or advisor in training. Do not treat this as the same thing as Type A; ask what supervision and scope apply.

If someone says "the office has a license," ask who is signing, who is advising you, and what license that person holds.

3. CONOCER EC0110.02 certificate

The CONOCER EC0110.02 standard is called Real Estate Commercialization Advisory. It evaluates competencies related to taking property listings, prospecting clients, starting purchase or rental processes, estimating commercial value, selling brokerage services, and closing transactions.

It is not a state license by itself. It works as federal labor-competency proof and may form part of the advisor's professional file.

4. Contract, service terms, and PROFECO/RPCA

Before signing, ask for written service terms: commission, scope, exclusivity, dates, obligations, cancellation rules, treatment of deposits, and who represents whom.

When the advisor or agency uses a registered adhesion contract, ask for the printed registration number and verify it in PROFECO's Public Registry of Adhesion Contracts. Do not sign a vague one-page document that only states a commission percentage and date. A good contract should explain the service, not just charge for it.

5. A.M.P.I., NAR, or other memberships, if claimed

A.M.P.I. and NAR are professional memberships, not state licenses. They are useful when real and current, but they do not replace INSEJUPY. If an advisor uses those logos, ask for the verification link or current credential.

Also confirm seller authorization: listing agreement with the owner, written authorization, or a document explaining why that person can offer the property.

Red flags

Pause the conversation if you see these signs:

The advisor avoids giving a full legal name.
They show only a logo, not verifiable documentation.
They cannot show current license proof matching their legal name.
They want a deposit before explaining documents.
They cannot explain who represents the buyer, seller, or agency.
They do not provide written service terms.
They advertise property without clear owner authorization.

None of these signs proves fraud by itself, but each one justifies stopping and verifying before moving forward.

What can happen if you work with someone who is not regularized

It is important not to exaggerate: a real estate transaction does not automatically become invalid just because an advisor has credential problems. But it can become harder to manage.

An advisor without clear documentation can create disputes around commissions, representation, authorization, responsibilities, and complaints. They can also slow notarial review if the file does not clearly explain who participated, what was offered, and under what terms. If the property involves inheritance, ejido land, possession certificates, co-owners, a trust, a foreign buyer, or mixed use, those questions matter more.

The best protection is simple: verify early, put everything in writing, and do not deliver money until you understand the notarial path.

The first INSEJUPY generation

In Yucatan, thousands of people present themselves as real estate agents, but only a smaller group holds current official licensing. That difference shows up in the transaction: complete documentation, clearer contracts, a complaint path, cleaner notarial review, and better explanation of risk.

At Casas en Valladolid, Diana De Leon Banuelos and Dalila Yesenia De Leon Banuelos are sisters and part of the first generation of real estate advisors certified by INSEJUPY in Yucatan, with Type A licensing after completing the training, exam, and registration process under Decree 73/2025.

Dalila Yesenia de León Bañuelos is registered in the Yucatan State Registry of Real Estate Advisors as Tipo A, Folio A-00030, issued in Merida on June 10, 2026 by the Instituto de Seguridad Jurídica Patrimonial de Yucatán. You can review the proof on our credentials page or open the Folio A-00030 image.

Both completed the AMPI Merida 40-hour Real Estate Intermediation Training, Updating, and Certification Program on May 7, 2026. Diana also holds federal CONOCER EC0110.02 certification, folio D-0020608325. Dalila is an active National AMPI 2026 member, AMPI Merida section, and is listed in the NAR directory.

If you already signed and now have doubts

If you already signed an exclusive agreement, seller authorization, purchase promise, deposit receipt, or advance payment, do not improvise. Do this:

Gather every signed document and save WhatsApp or email conversations.
Ask the advisor for current INSEJUPY documentation and complete service terms.
Ask your notary whether missing advisor documentation affects the file.
If there is an adhesion contract, verify the number in RPCA.
If you have not yet delivered money or original documents, wait until the situation is clear.

If the situation already involves money, breach, or pressure to sign, talk to PROFECO, INSEJUPY, or a lawyer before cancelling or making formal accusations.

How to verify Casas en Valladolid

Casas en Valladolid publishes credential proof so buyers and sellers do not have to rely on promises. On our credentials page you can review information for Diana De Leon and Dalila De Leon, including INSEJUPY Type A, Folio A-00030, CONOCER EC0110.02, A.M.P.I., NAR, and guidance around the PROFECO/RPCA contract model.

You can also ask us for a current copy by WhatsApp before a visit or commercial call. If you are selling, we can explain what document the owner signs, how authorization is handled, and what information will be published.

For foreign buyers

Advisor verification is the same for Mexican and foreign buyers. What changes is that a foreign buyer may need extra notarial, banking, RFC, immigration ID, SRE, or trust steps depending on the location and purchase structure.

The federal restricted zone is measured as 100 kilometers along borders and 50 kilometers along beaches. Valladolid is usually analyzed differently from coastal property, but do not decide by intuition. Confirm the case with the notary and review SRE guidance on restricted-zone trusts.

FAQ

How do I verify whether a real estate advisor is authorized in Yucatan?

Ask for the advisor's full legal name, current INSEJUPY proof, official ID, written service terms, and any credentials used in their advertising. If the public registry does not confirm the name, ask for the current document and check with INSEJUPY or your notary.

Does the INSEJUPY license apply in Valladolid or only Merida?

It applies to real estate intermediation services in the state of Yucatan. If the property is in Valladolid, verification matters just as it does in Merida.

Does A.M.P.I. membership replace INSEJUPY licensing?

No. A.M.P.I. is a professional association. INSEJUPY is the state authorization for Yucatan. Review both when an advisor claims both.

Is EC0110.02 a license?

No. EC0110.02 is a CONOCER labor competency standard for real estate commercialization advisory. It is proof of competency, not the state license by itself.

What if the advisor cannot show current license proof?

Ask for current proof with legal name, license type, folio, and date. Until you can verify scope and validity, avoid signing exclusives, paying advances, or moving forward without notarial review.

Should sellers verify the advisor too?

Yes. Sellers also need to know who can market the property, what commission is charged, what contract is signed, how buyers are filtered, and what information will be published.
