About

Independent, on the ground, on your side.

MedellinRealEstate.co is run by an American who lives in Medellín full-time — not a brokerage, not an agency with listings to push, and not a lead farm selling your number to twenty agents.

The model is simple. We publish honest, detailed guides to buying here, because most of what foreign buyers find online is thin, outdated, or written to sell a specific development. When a reader is serious, we make one careful introduction to a vetted bilingual broker matched to their budget and goals. If a deal eventually closes, the broker pays us a referral fee out of the commission the seller was paying anyway.

What that structure means for you

What we will tell you that others won't

If your budget doesn't work for the neighborhood you want, we'll say so. If your plan depends on short-term rental income in a building that prohibits it, we'll say so. If you'd honestly be better off renting for six months before buying anything, we'll say that too — it costs us a faster fee and earns us a better one later.

What we are not

We're not lawyers, accountants, or licensed advisors, and we don't handle your money — ever. Funds move between you, your bank, the notaría, and the seller through official channels. We're the layer that makes sure the people guiding you through that are worth trusting.

Questions about how any of this works? Ask us directly — we answer personally.

Buyer economics

The purchase price is not the cost of owning the property.

Before comparing apartments, build a total-cost model that includes the transaction, the building, the way you will use the property, and the eventual exit.

At purchase

Model closing, legal, registration, banking, currency-transfer, furnishing, and immediate repair costs separately from the headline price.

While you own it

Track administración, insurance, property taxes, maintenance, vacancy, utilities you carry, management, and extraordinary assessments.

At exit

Include selling costs, taxes that may apply to your situation, time-to-sale risk, and the currency you ultimately want your proceeds in.

Use current written quotes from your own lawyer, accountant, bank, building administrator, and broker. This page is a framework, not a tax or legal calculation.
