When Someone Sells A Lot

Is It Done Yet?

I can't seem to upload to here, probably because the file is so huge. But recently I received a photo of Cabo San Lucas evidently taken in 1952. I posted it to another site, with photos showing the same area today. Just incredible. To view go to: http://caborealtor.wordpress.com/2009/08/07/amazing/

Let’s say you’re buying or selling a property in Los Cabos, and you can’t be in Mexico for the closing. Not a problem! This happens frequently, as we rarely have an exact day the closing will occur.

The first thing you’ll want to do is know who else is on the road with you. In Baja Sur our license plates are white with a stripe of color at the top and bottom. The color of the stripes tells you who’s driving the car.
