Andres Gurumeta | Cross-Border Real Estate & Development Advisor
More than 20 years of experience across real estate development, hospitality, sales leadership, and destination-driven projects in Canada and Mexico.
Bridging real estate, development, and lifestyle opportunities between Canada and Mexico.
about andres
For more than two decades, I have worked across real estate development, hospitality, resort operations, and sales leadership in both Canada and Mexico.
My career has taken me from resort operations in Whistler, Vancouver and Mexico to the commercialization and sale of residential and tourism developments along Mexico's Pacific Coast.
Throughout that journey, I have helped launch and position real estate projects, build sales and operational teams, support buyers and investors, and contribute to the long-term success of destination-driven communities.
Today, through AGC Consulting and Mar de Palma, I help connect people with opportunities, insights, and relationships that support informed real estate decisions and long-term value creation.
I believe the best decisions are rarely about the property alone. They are about aligning lifestyle, objectives, timing, and long-term vision.
Experience Across Two Markets
One of the greatest advantages I bring to clients and development partners is a practical understanding of both Canadian and Mexican markets.
Having lived and worked extensively in both countries, I understand the questions, concerns, expectations, and opportunities that often arise when evaluating property ownership abroad. For those considering ownership in Mexico, understanding the buying process, local markets, and long-term objectives is often as important as the property itself.
Whether advising developers, supporting buyers, or helping position new projects, my focus remains the same:
Creating clarity, reducing uncertainty, and helping people make informed decisions.
Professional Background
Over the course of my career, I have worked across hospitality, resort operations, real estate development, sales leadership, and project commercialization in both Canada and Mexico.
My experience includes leadership and advisory roles within luxury hospitality brands, destination communities, beachfront residential developments, master-planned communities, and boutique real estate platforms.
I have participated in the commercialization, operation, positioning, and sale of more than 100 residences and homesites across multiple projects and phases, while helping buyers, investors, and development teams navigate complex decisions and long-term objectives.
This combination of operational, commercial, and development experience allows me to evaluate opportunities through a broader lens than property alone.

My Perspective
I believe the best real estate decisions are rarely about the property alone.
They are about lifestyle, timing, objectives, risk tolerance, and long-term vision.
My role is not simply to present opportunities, but to help people understand them.
That philosophy continues to guide my work across every project, relationship, and advisory engagement.
Through the Mar de Palma Lifestyle Journal, I regularly share perspectives on ownership, development, and real estate opportunities along Mexico's Pacific Coast.
Connect
Whether you're exploring ownership opportunities in Mexico, evaluating a development project, or simply looking for informed perspective on coastal real estate markets, I welcome the conversation.
