Hi Bjurfors team,

I imagine your team handles plenty of Swedes eyeing Marbella or Palma. Some of them might be looking further west: same Mediterranean climate, but at 40% of the cost.

I’m Annette Thompson. I’ve lived in Ajijic, Mexico for seven years. It’s a lakeside colonial town with the largest expat community in Mexico, springlike weather year-round, and easy connections to Europe through Guadalajara. I wrote the relocation guide <<GUIDE-URL>> and book <<AMAZON-URL>> on moving here.

Since your buyers don’t pay agent fees in Spain, they’ll find Mexico’s model familiar: the local brokerage I work with shares referral commissions. If you have clients curious about alternatives to southern Europe, I’m happy to be your on-the-ground resource.

No pressure, but I can send the guide if it’s useful. Either way, glad to know you’re out there helping Scandinavians land softly abroad.

Best,
Annette Thompson

Hi Victoria,

I know your clients at Chestnut Park expect white-glove service whether they're buying in Toronto or abroad. Having worked with international buyers myself (and lived in Ajijic for seven years), I thought you might appreciate a straightforward referral option for clients eyeing Mexico.

With your CIPS background and global clientele, you've probably heard the usual questions: Where's safe? Where's walkable? Where can you get good healthcare? I wrote <<GUIDE-URL>> to answer those specifically for Ajijic, it's the largest expat community in Mexico, with about 10,000 Canadians already here. Direct flights from Toronto make it easier than most realize.

If any of your luxury buyers mention Mexico (or just "somewhere warmer"), I'm happy to be their boots-on-the-ground contact. The local brokerage I work with splits commissions with referring agents, and I'll handle all the local details, from vetting properties to navigating Mexico's purchase process.

No pressure, of course. But given your international buyers and my seven years here running businesses (including adoption.com back in the 90s), it seemed like a natural connection.

Want to grab 15 minutes to compare notes?

Hi Janna,

I noticed your role at Briggs Freeman focuses on global relocation. Perfect timing, since I’ve been helping Dallas retirees navigate the most common question I get: “Where should I retire in Mexico?” With your CRP designation and two decades in relocation, you’ve probably heard it too.

I’m Annette Thompson. I’ve lived in Ajijic for 7+ years (after founding adoption.com and running international ops in three countries). Lake Chapala’s expat community, 15,000 strong, the largest in Mexico, is full of Texans who kept their U.S. banking and healthcare while enjoying 75-degree winters. Direct flights from DFW make it easier than most realize.

Here’s what I’m proposing: When your clients ask about Mexico, you share my Ajijic relocation guide (<<GUIDE-URL>>) or book (<<AMAZON-URL>>). If they decide to buy here, the local brokerage shares commission with referring agents. No extra work for you, just a trusted resource for clients eyeing a market where properties range from $150K to luxury estates.

Given Sotheby’s Mexico connections, this could be a natural fit. I’d love to hear how you’re handling these inquiries now.

Hi Revenos team,

I'm Annette Thompson, a former Texas real estate agent now living in Ajijic (7+ years). I'm also a licensed agent here in Jalisco. Given eXp's Mexico operations and your 85,000+ agent network, I think we could help each other.

I've written both a book and a detailed online guide about relocating to Ajijic/Lake Chapala (the largest expat community in Mexico). Many of your SRES-certified agents probably field Mexico retirement questions they can't personally handle.

I'd like to discuss listing my resources in your referral platform. I can be the on-the-ground expert for agents needing Ajijic answers, and your team would earn referral fees on any closed transactions. I'm familiar with formal referral agreements from my Texas brokerage days.

Let me know if you'd like to see the guide (<<GUIDE-URL>>) and book (<<AMAZON-URL>>) or discuss how this might fit. Happy to jump on a quick call.

Hi Nitin,

I noticed your Resources for International Buyers page. Great work. I’m Annette Thompson, a former licensed Texas agent now based in Ajijic, Mexico, where I’ve lived for over 7 years. Ajijic is at the heart of Lake Chapala, home to 15,000+ expats, many from Texas.

I wrote a relocation guide and book that cover everything from real estate to visas, healthcare, and cost of living. It’s the resource I wish I’d had when I moved here.

Here’s why I’m reaching out: You work with clients relocating from NY, LA, and Chicago, some of whom might be curious about Mexico but unsure where to start. I’d love to be your on-the-ground partner for Ajijic.

The model is straightforward:
- You share my guide with clients considering Mexico
- If they buy in Ajijic, the local brokerage I work with splits the commission with you

With over 480 homes sold and $250M+ in volume, I know you handle referrals carefully. I founded adoption.com in 1995 and ran international operations in three countries, so I take relationships just as seriously.

Worth a quick call?

Hi Team,

I’m Annette Thompson, a licensed real estate professional with 7+ years living in Ajijic, Mexico, part of the Lake Chapala expat community, the largest in Mexico. Given Long Realty’s reach across Arizona and your membership in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, I thought this might be of interest.

I’ve written a comprehensive relocation guide for people considering Ajijic, covering real estate, healthcare, visas, cost of living, and neighborhoods. It’s the guide I wish had existed when I moved here.

Many of your clients in Tucson and Phoenix are likely considering retirement destinations that are warmer, more affordable, and still accessible. With Guadalajara just a short flight from Phoenix and Ajijic’s year-round spring climate (compared to Tucson summers), it’s a natural fit for Arizona retirees exploring Mexico.

Here’s how it works:
- You share my guide with clients who mention Mexico or Latin America
- If they decide to buy in Ajijic and you refer them, the local brokerage I work with splits the commission with you

No fluff, no funnel. Just a straightforward referral partnership between professionals serving the same clients.

I founded adoption.com back in 1995 and have run businesses internationally for decades, including here in Mexico. I take referrals seriously and protect relationships.

Worth a 20-minute call?

Hi team,

I'm Annette Thompson, a longtime Ajijic resident and relocation advisor. I'm reaching out because your clients in Naples, Sarasota, and Tampa often ask the same question I specialize in: "Where should I retire abroad?"

With Florida home prices rising, many retirees are looking at Mexico. Lake Chapala, where I live, has the largest expat community in the country (over 15,000 North Americans) and direct flights from Florida hubs. Properties here range from $150,000 to $800,000+, and the English-speaking community makes it an easy transition.

I've written a comprehensive Ajijic relocation guide for retirees, covering everything from healthcare to visas to finding the right neighborhood. It's specifically designed for people who walk into your offices: sophisticated buyers who've outgrown Florida prices and want a warm-weather retirement abroad.

Here's how we could work together: 1. When a client mentions Mexico, you share my guide (<<GUIDE-URL>>) as a resource 2. If they decide to buy in Ajijic and you refer them to me, the local brokerage shares commission with Premier Sotheby's at closing

It's a straightforward way to add value for your clients while earning referral fees. I handle all the Ajijic-side details.

I know Premier Sotheby's has a dedicated relocation team, which makes this a natural fit. Let me know if you'd like to set up a quick call to discuss.

Hi Steve,

You've built the cross-border infrastructure most agents only dream about with Casago and Realty Executives Mexico. But I'd bet your retiring clients still ask about colonial towns like Ajijic, the inland Mexico market that's nothing like your beach properties.

I'm Annette Thompson. I've lived in Ajijic for 7+ years (licensed here and formerly in Texas), wrote the relocation guide that gets passed around expat circles, and help retirees navigate the Lake Chapala area's unique real estate landscape.

Your Arizona network clearly understands Mexico's appeal. What they may not have is a trusted contact for this specific region, where most buyers are Americans and Canadians over 50 who want walkable streets, not ocean views.

Simple proposal: When your clients mention considering central Mexico, you send them my guide (<<GUIDE-URL>>). If they buy here, your referral gets handled through the commission-sharing system you already know from your franchise work.

No new paperwork, just filling a geographic gap in your network with someone who's been building businesses (adoption.com in 1995, international operations in three countries) for decades.

Time for a coffee call next week? I'm on Central time here.

Hi team,

Your international buyers know what they want: good healthcare, walkable towns, and real seasons without Swedish winters. Right now most are choosing Spain, but a few are starting to ask about Mexico.

I'm Annette Thompson. I've lived in Ajijic for over seven years. Before that I built adoption.com (1995), ran operations across three countries, and spent years as a licensed real estate agent in Texas and here in Jalisco.

Ajijic has what your Marbella buyers love (cobblestone streets, lakeside cafes, an international community) at about 40% of the cost. The difference is we're at 5,000 feet elevation, so it's spring year-round (18-28C) with no humidity. The largest expat community in Mexico means your clients would have English-speaking doctors, plenty of fellow Europeans, and neighbors who've made this move already.

I work with a local brokerage that shares referral commissions. If you have clients considering options beyond Europe, I can be your on-the-ground resource.

The book I wrote (<<AMAZON-URL>>) and free guide (<<GUIDE-URL>>) cover everything from visa strategies to which neighborhoods have fiber internet. Happy to send samples.

Hi team,

I noticed your international services page mentions helping clients buy in Mexico. I'm Annette Thompson, an American expat who's lived in Ajijic for over seven years. Before moving here, I founded adoption.com in 1995 and built operations across three countries.

Canada is actually the second largest expat group around Lake Chapala after the U.S. About 10,000 Canadians live here already, and with direct flights from Toronto and Vancouver under four hours, it's no surprise more are looking this way.

I've written a comprehensive Ajijic relocation guide specifically for North Americans considering the move. It covers everything from healthcare to property taxes to cultural adjustments. When your clients ask about Mexico retirement options, you could offer them this as a resource.

Here's how we could work together: if any of your clients decide Ajijic is right for them, I can connect them with trusted local agents. Your brokerage would receive a referral fee at closing through the local brokerage I work with.

With Sotheby's network of 1,100 offices in 80 countries, you're clearly set up to handle international referrals smoothly. This would just add one more vetted option for clients asking about Mexico.

Would you have 15 minutes next week to discuss whether this fits with how you handle Mexico inquiries? I'm happy to accommodate Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary time zones.
