Our Central Texas specialty. We help Mexican nationals purchase U.S. property and foreign sellers navigate U.S. closing requirements — fluently, in Spanish and English, every day of the week.
The Texas Hill Country sits at one of the most active cross-border real estate corridors in the Americas. out-of-state and international buyers acquire U.S. property for investment, for family, for business, and for the freedom of movement it provides. Most U.S. title companies treat these transactions as an exception. We treat them as our daily work.
Individuals and families in Mexico purchasing residential, investment, or vacation property in Texas. We handle the full closing from Mexican side of the border if needed.
Non-U.S. residents selling U.S. real estate — triggering FIRPTA withholding obligations. We handle the compliance so the closing funds correctly.
Families with property or business interests on both sides. We understand the paperwork rhythm and keep closings moving when one signatory is in Monterrey and another in San Antonio.
Entity-level acquisitions through LLCs, corporations, or trusts with foreign beneficial ownership. We coordinate with your U.S. counsel on entity paperwork.
The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) requires U.S. buyers to withhold 15% of the gross sales price when the seller is a foreign person. It is the buyer's obligation — but if the title company misses it, the buyer becomes personally liable to the IRS. We handle FIRPTA correctly on every cross-border sale: confirming seller status, preparing Forms 8288 and 8288-A, coordinating withholding certificates when applicable, and remitting to the IRS within 20 days of closing.
For sellers who qualify for reduced or zero withholding, we coordinate the IRS withholding certificate application through the seller's CPA or can refer one experienced with Form 8288-B.
Many foreign national buyers finance through lenders that accept an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) in place of a Social Security Number. These transactions have slightly different lender documentation, different 1003 and TRID requirements, and often different wire compliance flags. We work with every ITIN-lending program active in the Hill Country and know what each underwriter wants.
For Mexican national signers, we accept any of the following as primary ID — no U.S. document required:
Not every buyer can cross the border for closing. Texas allows several paths for remote execution that we are comfortable with:
Every escrow officer on our cross-border team speaks fluent Spanish. Every document we produce can be delivered in Spanish. Every closing can be conducted entirely in Spanish. We translate, we explain, and we never charge extra for either.
