Jeff and Lara Zolton
Licensed Real Estate Advisors
Two is always better than one, and that is especially true with the wife and husband team of Lara and Jeff Zolton. Lara and Jeff moved to Cabo in 2015 after selling their businesses in Houston, Texas. Planning to semi-retire, they struggled to find knowledgeable and ethical real estate agents to help them buy their personal home and investment properties so they chose to learn everything about Los Cabos real estate and become agents themselves. In the last 11 years they have become two of the most respected top producers in Los Cabos. They have sold properties in every price range including golf, beachfront, homes, condos, master planned communities, branded residences, etc. They have built a strong, loyal client base that most most appreciates their integrity, experience, and their sheer breadth of knowledge about the local market, individual communities, and how to choose the right property depending on specific goals.
For them, the most important result for a buyer is that they continue to be happy with their purchase long term, whether as a vacation home, rental investment or for whatever purpose. This has resulted in long-term friendships with buyers who have found their perfect properties then received expert assistance in navigating property management and rental of their properties. And for sellers, Lara and Jeff have bought and sold properties of their own so they have a more in depth understanding than most, as well as the experience and knowledge to bring top dollar offers and smooth transactions beginning to end.
Beyond work, Lara and Jeff enjoy Cabo and all of its wonder. Besides enjoying the beaches, golf and watersports, they are top sponsors with Sarajuaro women’s support program as well voting members on the Foreign Residents Advisory Committee, which coordinates with the municipal president on all issues related to foreigners in Los Cabos.
