— Your Agent
I started Rafael Mora Real Estate because I believe buying a home – especially in a foreign country – should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I’ve guided both expat as well as national buyers through every step of the process, from the first property visit to the day they receive their keys.
With deep ties to San Miguel de Allende and years of experience in its real estate market, I bring insider knowledge of every neighborhood and every price trend. I’m known for my strong negotiation skills – making sure my clients always get the best possible deal – and for my straightforward, professional approach. My clients always come first. That’s not just a phrase. It’s how I work.
