About Bacalar Properties

Working with us you can expect top notch customer service, communication, honesty and transparency throughout the buying process.

Bacalar Properties real estate was founded by Steven Sohrakoff, originally from Oregon, and Nick Hunter, originally from London. Steven moved to the Bacalar area in 1998 and a few years later ran into Nick while both were living and working nearby on the Costa Maya. Similar interests in diving, fishing, and travel helped build a solid friendship. After years of experience working in real estate in Mexico, Steven and Nick decided to create Bacalar Properties and differentiate from the competition by actually living and operating out of Bacalar, and by offering an unrivalled level of local knowledge, customer service, and professionalism.

Why work with Bacalar Properties?

On the internet you may come across real estate brokers who claim to be experts in the Laguna Bacalar area, while in fact they operate out of Playa del Carmen, Cancun, or Merida (hundreds of miles from Bacalar). We at Bacalar Properties have LIVED here for years and are dedicated exclusively to Bacalar. We are the only real estate brokers living and working in Bacalar, and we are the only true Bacalar experts!

We operate Bacalar Properties as closely to an North American brokerage firm as is possible to do in Mexico. This means we operate at a level of professionalism seldom encountered in Mexico. Working with Bacalar Properties you can expect top notch customer service, communication, honesty and transparency throughout the buying process.

Because we love this area so much, we are dedicated to preserving it. The fact that there will be development here in the coming years is irrefutable, and we are in a position to help steer this development onto the most ecologically sound path possible. We support sustainable development and encourage our clients to do the same. From green architecture, renewable energy systems, and responsible waste management systems to zero carbon footprint construction, we are available to consult our clients and introduce them to local experts on these subjects.
