Quick Answer
Yes. Selling property held in a fideicomiso is straightforward. When you sell, the trust is either transferred to the new buyer's fideicomiso or terminated if the buyer is a Mexican national. The process is handled by the notario publico, similar to any other real estate transaction. You receive the full sale proceeds.
Detailed Answer
Absolutely. Selling property held in a fideicomiso is a standard, straightforward process. When you decide to sell, you instruct the trustee bank to either transfer the fideicomiso to the buyer's name (if the buyer is a foreigner who will establish their own trust) or terminate the trust and transfer direct title (if the buyer is a Mexican national). The entire process is supervised by the notario publico, just like any other Mexican real estate transaction.
You receive the full sale proceeds minus the standard seller costs: real estate agent commission (5-8% of sale price) and capital gains tax (up to 35% on the net gain, with deductions available). The fideicomiso structure does not create any additional complexity or cost during the sale — the trust was designed to facilitate buying and selling. Average days on market in Los Cabos is 90-120 days, though well-priced properties in desirable areas sell faster.
