You are not buying a country.
You are buying a hillside.
Medellin is thirteen distinct real-estate markets stacked into one valley. Poblado is not Laureles. Envigado is not Sabaneta. We introduce you to brokers who know the block, not just the barrio — free to you, paid by them on closing.
Build the brief. Brick by brick.
Five questions. Under two minutes. Each answer lays a brick. When the facade is up, we send it to the broker who fits.
Three neighborhoods our brokers own.
We cover more than these three — but these are the ones foreign buyers ask about first, and the ones we can match a specialist for the same day.
El Poblado
Hillside towers, walkable Provenza and Manila, premium prices. Best liquidity, sharpest gringo markup risk. Broker matters most here.

Laureles & Estadio
Grid streets, mature tree canopy, lower per-meter than Poblado. Mid-term rental sweet spot. Fewer amenity buildings, more character.

Envigado
Municipality of its own. Quieter, family-oriented, better schools. Solid resale depth. Where paisas move when they leave Poblado.
Ask about Envigado →Three moving parts. That is the whole thing.
You build the brief
Timing, neighborhood, budget, purpose, contact. Five answers. Under two minutes. That gives us enough to match on the first try.
We pick a broker
From a small vetted roster. Not the biggest agency, not the flashiest — the one whose actual inventory and language coverage fits your brief.
You take it from there
WhatsApp intro within one business day. No pushy calls, no bcc. If it isn’t a fit, tell us and we’ll try again. Broker pays us on close.
The numbers that actually decide things.
All peso-indexed. USD approximations shift with the TRM — ask us for today’s.
350 × SMMLV. Deed value at registration, not the price you paid.
650 × SMMLV. Path to permanent residency in one step.
Rose 23% from 2025. Decree 1469/2025 + 0159/2026.
Fair questions.
What does this cost me?
Nothing. Buyers never pay us. The broker we introduce you to pays a referral fee out of their standard commission when a deal closes. If nothing closes, no money changes hands anywhere.
Are you a licensed real estate broker?
No, and that is deliberate. Colombia does not have a licensed broker system in the sense a US buyer expects — but even where it exists (Lonja membership, etc.) we would not take that role. We are a referrer. The broker you close with is who represents you.
Why not just contact brokers directly?
You can, and some people do. The value we add is filtering: we know which brokers have actual current inventory in your target barrio and budget, which speak the language you need, and which are currently responsive. It saves you the two weeks of first-message-into-a-void that most foreign buyers describe.
Do you work outside Medellin?
For the broader Colombia buyer question, our national site is buypropertycolombia.com. This site is Medellin-specific because Medellin is where we live and where our broker roster is deepest.
What if I want to rent first?
Reasonable. Most buyers we work with rent a month in their target barrio before committing. Our rental network is rentmedellin.co — same operator, separate site.
What about the investor visa?
Our visa-specific reference site is colombiainvestorvisa.com. Short version: the deed value at registration must clear 350 SMMLV (for the M) or 650 SMMLV (for the R). Do not under-declare on the deed to save transfer tax — it disqualifies your visa.
Will you tell me what my property is worth?
Not blind, no — that requires seeing the unit, the building, and the certificado. But a broker on our roster will, and their comparables come from actual closings on the block, not portal asking prices.

Five questions. Under two minutes. A broker who actually knows the block, in your WhatsApp within one business day.
