Land described the way it actually is.
Shoreline land at Atitlán is usually sold on a photograph and a rounded number. These records are built the other way round: from the deed, from the ground, and from what is still unconfirmed.
Working directly
Carlos represents these parcels at Lake Atitlán directly. Questions about measurements, access, water, power or what it takes to build get answered from the record, and where the record does not have an answer yet, that is what you will be told.
The standards these records follow
Every parcel on this site is written to the same rules, so two listings can be read against each other without translating between them.
Deed figures and ground figures never share a column
What the escritura records and what the land measures today are different numbers, and at a lake that moves several metres a year they have to stay separate.
Pending means pending
An unconfirmed dock length is published as unconfirmed. Nothing is rounded into certainty to make a listing look finished.
Metres, feet and varas
Guatemalan deeds work in varas cuadradas, buyers often think in square feet, and surveys come back in square metres. All three are printed so none has to be converted on trust.
Location to the village, not the pin
The lake, the bay and the village are published. Exact coordinates are shared when a visit is arranged.
Prices are not listed
Asking prices move with terms, timing and what is included. They are discussed directly rather than posted and left to go stale.
Photographs are released deliberately
Every photograph is catalogued and described before it is published, and none goes up until it has been cleared.
